6.2 CHARGING THE POWER PACK
The power pack is delivered in a partially charged state. Charge the power pack fully after purchase or before using for the
first time.
6. 3 CHARGING USING THE PLUG CHARGER
Rotate the selection switch for the starter aid voltage, located on the rear of the device (Position 12 in the overview), to the „12
V AND CHARGING" setting. Plug the coaxial connector of the plug charger (Position 13 in the overview) into the charging socket
of the power pack (Position 11 in the overview). Now, connect the plug charger with the mains socket. The charge control lamp
(Position 3 in the overview) now lights in red. When the battery pack is charged, the control LED lights in green. After charging,
first disconnect the plug charger from the mains socket, then disconnect the coaxial connector from the charging socket of the
power pack. Rotate the selection switch for the starter aid voltage, located on the rear of the device (Position 12 in the over-
view), to the „OFF" setting. If you now press the control button for the charge status (Position 5 in the overview), the Voltmeter
shows a voltage of approximately 13 V for the charge status (Position 7 in the overview).
6.4 AUFLADEN MIT DEM 12 V ZIGARETTENANZÜNDER-LADEKABEL
Rotate the selection switch for the starter aid voltage, located on the rear of the device (Position 12 in the overview), to the „12
V AND CHARGING" setting. Plug the coaxial connector of the 12 V charging cable (Position 14 in the overview) into the charging
socket of the power pack (Position 11 in the overview). Now connect the 12 V plug to the 12 V socket of your vehicle. The charge
control lamp (Position 3 in the overview) now lights in red.
This method is only capable of charging the battery up to approximately 50% of its capacity. We recommend only using this
system in emergencies otherwise the lifetime of the battery and the starting power will be reduced.
CAUTION: Only charge the power pack when driving or when the motor is running, otherwise there is a
risk that the starter battery of your vehicle may be discharged.
6.4 STARTING PROCEDURE
Make sure that the power pack is fully charged. To do this, press the control button for the charge status (Position 5 in the over-
view). If the Voltmeter shows a voltage of around 13 V, the power pack is ready for use.
The starting aid function of the power pack is designed only for vehicles with a 12 V and 24 V on-board
voltage. Before using, consult the operating instructions of your vehicle to determine which voltage
your vehicle uses, and whether an external starting aid may be used. Modern vehicles have sensitive
electronics and control devices that may be damaged if the wrong procedure is used.
6.6 SELECTING THE STARTER AID VOLTAGE
Set the selection switch for the starter aid voltage, located on the rear of the device (Position 12 in the overview), to the appro-
priate voltage for your vehicle, 12 V or 24 V.
6.7 CONNECTING THE POWER PACK (VEHICLES WITH NEGATIVE EARTH)
Switch off the ignition and all electrical consumers of the vehicle (radio, lights, rear window heating, seat heating etc.). Apply
the parking brake. Rotate the On/Off switch for the starter aid (Position 4 in the overview) to the OFF setting. First connect the
