4. CHARGING/RECHARGING

For maximum battery life, we recommend that the START-IT Compact Prosystem be kept fully charged at all times. If the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state, battery life will be shortened. Note: Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent discharges between recharges will reduce battery life.

4.1110/120 VOLT AC CHARGING IMPORTANT:

• MAKE SURE ALL SWITCHES ARE TURNED OFF DURING RECHARGING

• Charge unit for full 24 hours, prior to first use

• Recharge unit fully after each use

• Recharge unit every two months, when it has not been used

1.Simply plug the 110/120 volt AC plug of the AC/DC adapter/charger cord into any standard 110/120 volt AC wall outlet.

2.Plug the barrel connector attached to the AC/DC adapter cord into the small barrel receptacle on the jumpstarter.

3.Charge this device for at least 14-24 hours or until the FULL indicator lights.

4.When charging is completed and the green FULL light lights or blinks, remove the charging adapter and store in a safe place.

5.NOTE: The unit CANNOT be overcharged using the AC method.

The START-IT CompactProsystem also comes with a DC/DC charging cord, for recharging the unit from a 12 volt DC cigarette lighter socket in a vehicle or boat. Note: This recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as recharging from a 110/120 volt AC outlet. The 12 volt DC recharging procedure is recommended only when it is necessary, as continued use of the 12 volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the life of the battery.

WARNING: DO NOT RECHARGE FOR MORE THAN 3-4 HOURS MAXIMUM USING 12 VOLT DC METHOD. NEVER LEAVE UNIT UNATTENDED IN VEHICLE WHILE DC CHARGING

1.NOTE: If unit is fully discharged, it is recommended that the vehicle being used for recharging be left running while the unit is being charged via the 12 volt DC method.

2.Insert one end of the DC/DC charging cord into the 12 volt DC cigarette lighter receptacle on the vehicle or boat.

3.Insert the plug at the other end of this power cord into the 12 volt DC receptacle on the front panel of the unit.

4.Charge the unit until the green FULL indicator lights when Charge Status Push Button is pressed. DO NOT EXCEED 3-4 HOURS MAXIMUM.

5.When charging is completed, remove the power cord and store in a safe place. 11
