8. Jump starting for the vehicle
The 12 V jump starting function provides welcome
help with starting diffi culties due to too little batte-
ry capacity.
Warning! Only the jump start cable is allowed
to be connected during jump starting. Any power
supply to a connected device, e.g. via the USB
port, must be disconnected fi rst.
We would like to point out that vehicles are fi tted
with a whole host of electronic equipment. Please
also refer to the instructions in the owner's manu-
als for the car, radio, etc.
Warning! Never connect to the vehicle bodywork!
•
Make sure that the connector on the jump
start cable is securely connected to the de-
vice socket. If the connection is loose during
jump starting, the connector could melt as a
result of the high current.
•
The poles on the vehicle battery must be
clean and the clamps of the jump start cable
must be securely attached to the battery po-
les.
•
Do not connect the clamps of the jump start
cable together during jump starting – short-
circuit.
Check that at least 3 LED of the battery capacity
indicator are lit. The equipment temperature must
be within the range of + 5 °C - + 40°C and the am-
bient temperature during jump starting within the
range of – 15°C - + 40°C. Use only the supplied
jump start cable (Fig. 2c).
1. Fig. 5: Pull open the cover on the jump start
cable connection (Fig. 1 / Item 8), push the
cover underneath it to the side and plug the
jump start cable into the equipment.
2. Fig. 5a: Connect the red cable to the positive
pole on the car's battery and the black cable
to the negative pole on the car's battery. Make
sure that the clamps are secure. In addition,
make sure that the jump start power bank is
tucked away securely in the engine bay and
will not be able to fall as a result of vibrations
during the jump start operation. The jump
start power bank must not be allowed to
come within the range of moving parts. The
following points 3. – 6. describe the status sig-
nals of the jump start cable. Please follow the
instructions.

3. Fig. 5a: The green LED on the jump start
cable lights up. All the existing connections
are OK and the vehicle can be started within
30 seconds.
4. Fig. 5b: The green LED on the jump start
cable fl ashes. All the existing connections
are OK, but the car battery charging status is
very low. Press the "Boost" button on the jump
start cable and wait until the green LED co-
mes on permanently. Start the vehicle within
30 seconds. Be particularly careful, because
pressing the "Boost" button has the eff ect of
overriding the safety devices integrated in the
jump start power bank.
5. Fig. 5c: The red LED on the jump start
cable lights up and an acoustic warning
signal sounds. The clamps of the jump
start cable are wrongly connected to the car
battery, i.e. with reverse polarity. Remove the
clamps and connect them to the car battery
again but with the correct polarity and in ac-
cordance with the previous instructions.
6. Fig. 5d: No LED lights up on the jump start
cable, nor is there an acoustic warning
signal. Check all the connections, espe-
cially that the clamps are connected to the
car battery with the correct polarity. If all the
connections are OK, the cause is probably a
defective car battery. Press the "Boost" but-
ton on the jump start cable and wait until the
green LED comes on permanently. Start the
vehicle within 30 seconds.
Be particularly careful, because pressing the
"Boost" button has the eff ect of overriding the
safety devices integrated in the jump start
power bank. Replace the defective car battery
as soon as possible.
7. As soon as the engine is running, remove the
jump start cable from the equipment and then
remove the red clamp from the car battery
fi rst, followed by the black clamp.
8. Let the engine run. The generator will charge
up the built-in car battery.
At very low temperatures a number of jump start
attempts may be required before the car starts up.
Allow one minute waiting time between each att-
empt. Remove the equipment within 30 seconds
after a successful jump start as far as possible.
The number of times that you can attempt to start
the engine (max. 10) varies according to the am-
bient temperature, the condition of the battery you
want to start and the charge level of the jump start
power bank battery.
