120V AC/12V DC CHARGING :
PLUG THE 120V AC/12V DC CHARGING ADAPTER INTO A WALL OUTLET AND INTO THE RECEPTACLE ON YOUR NEW POWER PACK UNIT.
CHARGE THIS DEVICE FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS OR UNTIL THE METER SHOWS A FULL (14- TO 15-V DC) CHARGE WHEN THE RED ROCKER
SWITCH IS DEPRESSED. THE RECHARGING CONVERTER CIRCUIT UNIT HAS AN AUTOMATIC CUT-OFF CIRCUIT SO THE INTERNAL
BATTERY CANNOT BE OVERCHARGED. TO RECHARGE YOUR POWER PACK UNIT BATTERY FROM 120V AC FOLLOW THESE STEPS :
1. PULL THE PLUG COVER FROM THE ROUND RECEPTACLE.
2 . THE EXTERNAL CHARGER FURNISHED WITH YOUR POWER BOOSTER HAS A 120V AC PLUG AT ONE END AND A 12V DC CIGARETTE
PLUG AT OTHER END. PLUG THE 120V AC PLUG INTO 120V AC WALL OUTLET AND THE OTHER INTO THE RECEPTACLE ON THE FRONT
PANEL OF YOUR POWER BOOSTER, CHARGING IS IN PROGRESS.
3. PRESSING THE 'TEST' BUTTON WILL INDICATE THE LEVEL OF CHARGE. THE EXTERNAL CHARGER HAS THE AUTOMATIC CUT-OFF
THAT PREVENTS OVER CHARGING THE BATTERY.
4. CONTINUE TO CHARGE UNTIL THE VOLTMETER INDICATES FULL CAPACITY IN GREEN AREA WHEN THE TEST BUTTON IS PRESSED
IMPORTANT: DO NOT STOP CHARGING BEFORE THE METER INDICATES FULL CAPACITY IN GREEN AREA.
AT THIS POINT, ONCE THE CHARGER IS DISCONNECTED, THE VOLTAGE WILL SLOWLY SETTLE BACK TO READ 100%.
THIS IS QUITE NORMAL AND INDICATES THAT THE BATTERY IS AT FULL CAPACITY.
NOTE: TO FULLY CHARGE A BATTERY COULD TAKE UP TO 72 HOURS, DEPENDING UPON THE STATE OF DISCHARGE. THE UNIT CAN
REMAIN PLUGGED INTO THE POWER SOCKET INDEFINITELY AS THE INTERNAL PCB HAS AN AUTOMATIC "FLOAT CHARGING CIRCUIT"
WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW AN OVERCHARGE CONDITION OR DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY.
12V DC CHARGING:
YOUR NEW POWER PACK UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH A RECEPTACLE THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO RE-CHARGE THIS SYSTEM FROM THE 12V
DC SOCKET IN YOUR VEHICLE OR BOAT.
NOTE : WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE THE 12V DC RECHARGING PROCEDURE ONLY WHEN IT IS NECESSARY,
AS CONTINUED USE OF THE 12V DC RECHARGING PROCEDURE MAY SHORTEN THE SYSTEM'S LIFE.
TO USE THE 12V DC RECHARGING SYSTEM :
1. INSERT THE POWER CORD WITH THE 12V DC PLUG INTO THE 12V DC RECEPTACLE ON YOUR VEHICLE OR BOAT.
2. INSERT THE PLUG AT THE OTHER END OF THIS POWER CORD INTO THE RECEPTACLE ON THE FRONT PANEL OF YOUR POWER
BOOSTER.
OPERATION
TO USE YOUR POWER PACK UNIT AS A 12V DC POWER SOURCE:
1. LIFT UP THE COVER OF THE 12V DC RECEPTACLE.
2. INSERT THE 12V DC PLUG FROM THE APPLIANCE INTO THE 12V DC RECEPTACLE.
Note: ON/OFF SWITCH CAN BE LEFT IN THE “OFF” POSITION
