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.

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 clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that may cause injury.

4.NEVER allow clamps to touch together or to contact the same piece of metal to prevent sparking.

5.Clamp the red clamp (+) to the positive terminal of the battery. (For a negative grounded system.)*

6.Clamp the black clamp (-) to an unpainted and unmoving part of the chassis or engine block.

7.You can now 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.)

8.After the engine starts, first 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.

9.Recharge the IP-95L as soon as possible after use.

*NOTE: In the rare case of jump-starting a vehicle that has a positive-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-95L.

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 IP-95L.

2.A yellow LED indicates a 50 to 75% charge. IP-95L 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-95L from the carton, charge it for a minimum of 8 hours even if the green Full Power LED glows.

1.To charge, plug extension cord into charger plug on the side of the IP-95L. (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 while 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-95L can be left plugged into the 110V wall outlet indefinitely to maintain full power.

5.Recharge IP-95L after use and every 3 months to full charge status to extend the battery’s life.
