Low Voltage Batteries & Manual Override
The GB30 is designed to jump start 12-volt lead-acid
batteries down to 2-volts. If your battery is below 2-volts,
the Boost LED will be "Off". This is an indication that the
GB30 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 BATTERY 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
HD battery clamps are connected to the correct polarity
battery terminals and the HD X Connect is connected to
the GB30. To use the Manual Override feature, press and
hold the Manual Override Button (a red exclamation point
icon inside a red circle) for three (3) 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 illuminate and the unit will not operate.
CAUTION: POWER THE GB30 "OFF" BEFORE
DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY CLAMPS. THIS WILL
ENSURE YOUR SAFETY. REMEMBER BOTH THE
SPARK PROOF AND REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION
FEATURES ARE DISABLED.
Most vehicles will immediately start. Some vehicles may
require the GB30 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 (5) consecutive jump starts within a
fifteen (15) minute period. Allow the GB30 to rest for
fifteen (15) minutes before attempting to jump start the
vehicle again.
Understanding Charge LEDs.
The GB30 has four (4) Charge LEDs - 25%, 50%, 75%
and 100%. These Charge LEDs indicate the internal
battery's state-of-charge (SOC). See below:
