1.INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on selecting the POWER ON BOARD® JUMP-STARTER, AIR COMPRESSOR and 12 VOLT DC POWER SUPPLY. This compact jump-starter is unique in the amount of energy it can supply for its size. The internal battery is a high density sealed, lead-acid battery that stores and delivers energy comparable to full sized ordinary jump-starters. Please read this guide carefully before use to ensure optimum performance and avoid damage to the unit or items that you are using it with.

A standard feature of this model is a high pressure, self-contained tire compressor with lighted gauge. This compressor allows quick inflation of vehicle tires to 260 PSI and with supplied adapter nozzles, inflates beach balls, rafts and virtually any low- pressure inflatables. Three different sized nozzles allow for easy connection to all popular inflatables.

The POWER ON BOARD® JUMP-STARTER & 12 VOLT DC POWER SUPPLY is a compact, durable and portable jump-start system for vehicles and boats that have a standard 12 Volt battery system. This self-contained, rechargeable system will start most vehicles and boats without the need for a host vehicle or 110/120 Volt AC power supply. It can also be used as a safe, portable source of 12 Volt DC electric power in remote locations and/or emergency situations. It is ideal for use with Vector 12 Volt DC cordless, portable, rechargeable products and POWER ON BOARD® DC/AC Power Inverters.

Use the POWER ON BOARD to:

Jump-start any engine system with a standard 12 Volt DC battery: boat; truck; car; airplane; RV; personal watercraft; snowmobile; garden tractor; gasoline engine generator, etc.

Operate: 12 Volt DC fans, inflators, fluorescent work lights, cellular phones (can quick-charge a cellular phone by using the phone’s 12 Volt DC adapter cord), spotlights, TVs, portable radios, cassette or CD players, and more. Operate: Certain 120 Volt AC Accessories (requires a Vector 12 volt power inverter, sold separately).

The POWER ON BOARD SYSTEM has an easy-to-read series of LED (Light Emitting Diode) charge indicators that show when the unit is fully charged, or the level of charge in the battery. Charge level can be viewed when the charge status push button is pressed. A 12 Volt DC cigarette lighter-type socket is provided for use with appliances that can operate from a vehicle cigarette lighter. This allows maximum portability and utility when the POWER ON BOARD is used in remote locations.

POWER ON BOARD can be recharged from any standard 120 Volt AC power source using the supplied AC Recharge Adapter. The adapter barrel connector attaches to the Recharge Port on the top panel of the jump-starter. A built-in 12 Volt appliance socket and the appropriate DC/DC charging/adapter cord is used to recharge the battery from another 12 volt DC source. When pressed, the CHARGE STATUS button will show the battery power level status (from Low to Full). The green LED full indicator illuminates when the unit is fully recharged and charging can be discontinued. An ON/OFF switch operates the built-in work/emergency light.
