LOW VOLTAGE BATTERIES & MANUAL OVERRIDE
The PM400 is designed to jump start 12-volt lead-acid batter-
ies down to 2-volts. If your battery is below2-volts, the Boost
LED will be "Off". This is an indication that the PM400 can
not detect a battery.
If you need to jump start a battery below 2-volts there is a
Manual Override feature, which allows you to force "On" the
jump start function.
CAUTION USE THIS MODE WITH EXTREME CARE. THIS
MODE IS FOR 12-VOLT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES ONLY. BOTH
THE SPARK PROOF AND REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION
FEATURES ARE DISABLED. PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION
TO THE POLARITY OF THE BATTERY BEFORE USING THIS
MODE. DO NOT ALLOW THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BAT-
TERY CLAMPS TO TOUCH OR CONNECT TO EACH OTHER AS
THE PRODUCT WILL GENERATE SPARKS. THIS MODE USES
VERY HIGH CURRENT (UP TO 400 AMPS) THAT CAN CAUSE
SPARKS AND HIGH HEAT IF NOT USED PROPERLY. IF YOU
ARE UNSURE ABOUT USING THIS MODE, DO NOT ATTEMPT
AND SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP.
Before using the Manual Override feature, make sure the
battery clamps are connected to the correct polarity battery
terminals and the HD X Connect is connected to the PM400.
To use the Manual Override feature, press and hold the Man-
ual Override Button (a red exclamation point icon inside a
red circle) for three seconds. The White Boost LED will flash
"On" and "Off" indicating you have successfully entered into
Manual Override and it is ready to jump start your vehicle. If
connected in reverse polarity, the Red Error LED will illumi-
nate and the unit will not operate.
CAUTION: POWER THE PM400 "OFF" BEFORE DISCON-
NECTING THE BATTERY CLAMPS. THIS WILL ENSURE YOUR
SAFETY. REMEMBER BOTH THE SPARK PROOF AND RE-
VERSE POLARITY PROTECTION FEATURES ARE DISABLED.
Most vehicles will immediately start. Some vehicles may re-
quire the PM400 to be connected for up to 30 seconds before
starting. If the vehicle does not start right away, wait 20-30
seconds and try again. Do not attempt more than five con-
secutive jump starts within a 15 minute period. Allow the
PM400 to rest for 15 minutes before attempting to jump
start the vehicle again.
UNDERSTANDING CHARGE LEDS
The PM400 has four Charge LEDs - 25%, 50%, 75% and
100%. These Charge LEDs indicate the internal battery's
state-of-charge (SOC). See below:
LED
25% red LED The 25% Charge LED will 'breath' on/
off while charging and will be solid
Red when the internal battery is 25%
25% 50% 75% 100%
charged.
50% red LED The 50% Charge LED will 'breath' on/
off while charging and will be solid
Red when the internal battery is 50%
25% 50% 75% 100%
charged.
75% yellow The 75% Charge LED will 'breath' on/
LED off while charging and will be solid
Yellow when the internal battery is
25% 50% 75% 100%
75% charged.
100% green The 100% Charge LED will 'breath' on/
LED off while charging and will be solid
Green when the internal battery is fully
charged.
25% 50% 75% 100%
When connected to a USB charger, no
other charge LEDs will be illuminated.
Once disconnected from the charger,
all four Charge LEDs will be illuminated
when the internal battery is between
75%-100%, and the unit is powered "ON".
