CARPOINT 0177707 Mode D'emploi page 3

WARNING: Lead-acid batteries generate hydrogen gas during normal operation. More gas is generated when the battery is charging. Hydrogen gas is:
1. Explosive
2. Poisonous to breath
3. Highly flammable
To avoid an explosion and/or the possibility of being splashed with the battery acid: never allow the red and black clamps to touch each other nor to touch
the same metal object.
• Only attempt to jump start a vehicle or boat in a well ventilated area.
• Always connect the red (+) clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal of vehicle first.
• Do not connect the black (-) clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal of vehicle.
• Connect the black (-) clamp to a non-moving metal part on the engine.
CAUTIONS:
1. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit's working life, protect this unit from direct sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture.
2. This system is designed to be used only on vehicles or boats with 12V electrical systems.
3. This system is not designed to be used as a replacement for a vehicle's battery.
4. Air compressor caution: run compressor only for 10 minutes at a time continuously. Then leave off for 10 minutes before using again, so that the
compressor can cool off.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR NEW jUMPSTARTER:
recHargIng
For maximum battery life, we recommended that your jumpstarter be kept fully charged at all times if the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state,
battery life may be shortened. Table shows the relationship of the frequency of use between recharging and the expected number of charge/recharge cycles.
Number of jump-starts between recharging
recHargIng scHeMa
The time required to fully recharge your power booster after jump-starting an engine is a function of how many jump starts are performed between
recharging sessions. Table 2 shows the approximate recharging times you can expect.
Number of jump-starts
We recommend that you check the level in your jumpstarter by pressing the red push button switch. The meter will show the battery charge.
230c ac adapter/cHarger cHargIng
Plug the 230V AC adapter/charger into an 230V AC power outlet and put the other (output DC12V) end into the receptacle (beside DC charging LED (no. 10,
see figure 1) on the front panel of your jumpstarter until the battery meter shows full (14 to 15V DC).
12V DC/DC POWER CORD CHARGING
Insert the cigarette lighter plug of the 12V DC/DC adapter/charger (No. 7, see figure 1) into an 12V DC cigarette lighter receptacle (on your vehicle or boat)
and put the other (output) end into the receptacle (beside DC charging LED no. 10. see figure 1) on the front panel of your jumpstarter until the battery
meter shows full (14 to 15V DC)
operatIon
To use your power booster as a 12V DC/DC power source:
1. Lift up the cover of 12V DC cigarette lighter receptacle (see No. 1 of figure 1).
2. Insert the 12V DC cigarette lighter plug from the appliance into the 12V DC cigarette lighter receptacle on the side of your jumpstarter.
