Connecting to an External Battery
Connecting to an External Battery
You can extend battery operating times by connecting the Jazz PP 300 C to a larger external battery.
For example, an external 60 amp-hour battery gives approximately three times the operating time of the Jazz PP 300 C internal 20 amp-hour battery.
WARNING: Acid spillsUse a sealed, non-spillable battery for indoor use. Common auto and marine batteries are not suitable for indoor use unless their fumes are vented outdoors. Common auto and marine batteries contain acid, which is hazardous if spilled. Wear eye protection and protective clothing when connecting the Jazz PP 300 C to an external battery.
To connect the Jazz PP 300 C to an external battery using the jump-start cables:1.Connect the jump-start cables to the Jumper Cable Port on the left side of the Jazz PP 300 C.
2.Connect the red positive (+) clip of the jump-start cables to the red positive (+) terminal of the external battery.
3.Connect the black negative (–) clip of the jump-start cables to the black negative (–) terminal of the external battery.
If the positive and negative clips are properly connected, the Battery Clips Connected Properly (green light) illuminates.
If the positive and negative clips are not properly connected, the Battery Clips Connected Improperly (red light) illuminates and the reverse polarity alarm sounds.
4.Remove the red positive (+) clip first, and then the black negative clip (–) to cancel the alarm.
