important safety instructions
Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you are working near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. If acid enters the eye area, rinse with cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical help immediately.
Do not smoke, or use matches or cigarette lighter, or allow any spark or flame near the battery or engine.
Never operate the power source unit if it has damaged lead wire or clamps. Have the lead wire replaced by a qualified technician.
Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working with lead- acid batteries.
Do not permit the internal battery of the IP-1875C to freeze. Never charge a frozen battery.

WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with this product, may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
Operating Instructions
Warning: Failure to follow instructions may cause damage or an explosion. Read entire instruction manual before use.
1.Turn ignition OFF before making cable connections.
2.Use in a well-ventilated area.
3.Keep clears of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that may cause injury.
4.Make sure the power ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position until clamps are connected to the vehicle battery.
5.NEVER allow clamps to touch together or to contact the same piece of metal to prevent sparking.
6.Clamp the red clamp (+) to the positive terminal of the battery. (For a negative grounded system.)*
7.Clamp the black clamp (-) to an unpainted and unmoving part of the chassis or engine block.
8.If you have connected the clamps of your IP-1875C backwards, an audio alarm will sound. DO NOT turn your IP-1875C on. This could cause serious damage. Reverse the connections, and the audio alarm will stop.
9.If no audio alarm is sounded, turn ON the Jump Start switch and then crank the engine. If the engine does not start within 5-8 seconds, wait at least 1 minute before attempting to start vehicle again. (This permits the battery to cool down.)
10.After the engine starts, make sure to turn OFF the Jump Start switch. Then disconnect the black clamp (-) and then the red clamp (+) in that order. Store the clamps on the ears located on the sides of the case.
11.Recharge the IP-1875C as soon as possible after use.
*NOTE: In the rare case of jump-starting a vehicle that has
apositive-grounded vehicle electrical system, connect the NEGATIVE black clamp (-) to the negative terminal (-) of the vehicle battery. Then connect the POSITIVE red clamp (+) to an unpainted and unmoving part of the vehicle chassis or engine block. If you are unsure of the nature of the vehicle’s electrical grounding system, check the owner’s manual of the vehicle. To disconnect clamps, reverse order.
LED INDICATORS
To check the internal battery’s charge status, press the red button on the front of the IP-1875C.
The led lights will indicate the charge level as follows:
1.A red LED indicates a 50% or less charge and you should immediately recharge the IP-1875C.
2.A yellow LED indicates a 50 to 75% charge. The IP-1875C may be used but should be recharged as soon as possible.
3.A green LED indicates the internal battery is fully charged.
CHARGING of internal battery with built-in charger.
After removing the IP-1875C from the carton, charge it for a minimum of 8 hours before using even if the green charged LED glows.
NOTE: The ON/OFF switch does not have to be in the ON position to recharge the internal battery.
1.To charge, plug an extension cord into charger plug on the back of the IP-1875C. (Extension cord not included; must be purchased separately.)
2.Plug the extension cord into 110V AC electrical wall outlet.
3.The red LED will glow indicating charging.
4.The green LED will glow when the battery has reached full charge. This could take up to 72 hours on some charges due to age and condition of the battery. The charger will automatically drop into a float mode and maintain the battery at full charge without damaging the battery. The IP-1875C can be left plugged into the 110V wall outlet indefinitely to maintain full power.
5.Recharge the IP-1875C as soon as possible after use.
Using the white spotlight
The spotlight is located on the front panel of the IP-1875C. This light can be adjusted downward by pulling the tab at the top. The control switch for this light is located above the rotary switch On/Off.
