AC POWER CORD CONNECTION

This charger is equipped for use with an extension cord. The extension cord must be first connected to the charger’s polarized plug. Only then should the extension cord be plugged into a properly installed 110/120VAC outlet in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. This battery charger plug is for use with 110/120VAC ONLY.

DANGER: NEVER alter the extension cord or plug – if it will not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. An improper connection may result in electric shock and will void warranty.

INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES

Use the Jump-Start/12 Volt DC Battery Charger System:

•To jump-start any engine system with a standard 12 volt DC battery: boat; truck; car; air- plane; RV; personal watercraft; snowmobile; garden tractor; gasoline engine gener- ator, etc.

•As a 12 Volt DC Power Supply: Operate 12 volt DC fans, inflators, fluorescent worklights, 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.

•As a 12 Volt DC Battery Charger: The Jump ‘n Charge 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 pushbutton is pressed. A 12 volt DC power accessory outlet is provided for use with appli- ances that can operate from a vehicle 12 volt DC accessory outlet. This allows maxi- mum portability and utility when the Jump-Start System is used in remote locations.

The Jump ‘n Charge system can be recharged from any standard 110/120 volt AC power source using a household extension cord.

A built-in 12 volt DC appliance outlet 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 HIGH). 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.
