9.After the clips are properly connected and the green Battery Clips Correct light is illuminated, make sure that Portable Power 250 and the Jump-Start Cables are clear of belts and fans before attempting to start the engine.

WARNING: Do not remove the Jump-Start Cables from the Jumper Cable Port when the positive and negative

clips are connected to the vehicle battery terminals. This will disable the jump-start safety feature and could result in sparking and explosion.

10.After the vehicle is started and while the cables are still connected, you can run the vehicle’s engine at fast idle for 2 minutes to fast-charge Portable Power 250’s battery. After recharging, remove the red clip first and black clip second. The Jump-Start Cables should be removed from Portable Power 250 only after the clips are removed from the battery terminals.

7.2Jump-Starting via a Vehicle’s Lighter Socket

The following procedure is often sufficient to start a vehicle when its battery is not completely dead.

1.Connect your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket (or 12-volt outlet) to Portable Power 250’s DC Power Socket using the DC Charging Cable supplied. You may need to switch the vehicle’s ignition to the “accessory” position to allow power to flow from the lighter socket to the vehicle’s battery.

2.Wait 15 minutes while Portable Power 250 partially charges your vehicle’s battery. Then remove DC Charging Cable from the Portable Power 250’s DC Power Socket and from the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.

3.If your vehicle does not start, attempt to jump-start as described in Section 7.1.

4.Fully recharge the internal battery as soon as possible after each use. (See Section 8.)
