OVERVIEW

Common Actions and Unit Responses. The following actions turn the unit on and activate the LCD screen:

VIEWING BATTERY STATUS

The Battery Status Icon and Battery Voltage Indicator indicate the battery charge level as follows.

• If the battery charge level is at full capacity, four solid bars will display.
• If the battery is partially charged, two or three solid bars will display.
• If the battery is nearly empty, one solid bar will display. The unit should be charged at this time.
• If the battery is empty, four blank bars will display. The unit MUST be charged at this time, or the unit’s built-in low-voltage protection will activate. The empty Battery Status Icon will flash for a short period of time before automatic shutdown. The unit will not operate until the battery is recharged.

CHARGING/RECHARGING

This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 40 hours or until the Battery Status Icon shows 4 solid bars. Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use, the manufacturer recommends that the battery be recharged at least every 30 days and after each use.

CAUTION – RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE: Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump-starting performance.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Recharging the battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
• Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
• If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery icon displays four solid bars as if the unit is fully charged when connected to a charging power source, this may be due to the internal battery having high impedance. The manufacturer suggests leaving the unit charging for a period of 40 hours using the built-in AC charger before use.

Charging/Recharging Using the Built-In 120 Volt AC Charger and AC Extension Cord (may be sold separately)

1. Lift the protective cover of the built-in 120 Volt AC Charger (refer to the “Features” section to locate). Connect an extension cord to the unit. Plug the other end of the cord into a standard 120‑volt AC wall outlet. When the unit is properly connected to an AC power source, the LCD screen will display the following: The bars on the Battery Status Icon represent the charge level of the unit’s internal battery. The bars on the Battery Status Icon will change from empty to solid (bottom to top) repeatedly to indicate the unit is charging. The backlight will turn on for 10 seconds (only).
2. Charge for approximately 40 hours or until the Battery Status Icon shows 4 solid bars.
3. When charging is complete, unplug the AC extension cord from the AC outlet and then disconnect it from the unit.

120 VOLT AC POWER OUTLET

Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment.

Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices, and audio/visual equipment have labels that indicate the power consumption in amps or watts. Be sure that the power consumption of the item to be operated is below 200 watts. If the power consumption is rated in amps AC, simply multiply by the AC volts (120) to determine the wattage.

Resistive loads are the easiest for this unit to run; however, it will not run larger resistive loads (such as electric stoves and heaters), which require far more wattage than the unit can deliver on a continuous basis. Inductive loads (such as TVs and stereos) require more current to operate than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating.

Power Inverter Output Waveform

The AC output waveform of this unit is known as a modified sine wave. It is a stepped waveform that has characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and small motors.

Protective Features

The inverter monitors the following conditions:

Using the USB Ports

1. Press the USB Power Button to turn on all of the USB Ports. A beep will sound, and the USB Power/Fault Indicators around each of the USB Ports will light blue. The backlight will turn on for 10 seconds (only). The backlit LCD screen will continuously display the following: The Battery Status Icon and Battery Voltage Indicator will light solid, as well as the USB Icon, indicating the USB ports are ready to use.
2. Plug the USB-powered device into the USB power port(s) and operate normally.
3. Press the USB Power Button again to turn off the USB Ports.
4. Periodically check the unit’s battery status on the backlit LCD screen. Four solid bars in the battery icon indicate a full battery. When the battery level is nearly empty with only one solid bar or empty with 4 empty bars, the unit must be recharged at this time, or the unit’s built-in low voltage protection will activate. The empty Battery Status Icon will flash for a short period of time before automatic shutdown.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the USB Ports are turned off when the unit is being recharged or stored.

PORTABLE COMPRESSOR

The built-in 12-volt DC compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicle tires, trailer tires, and recreational inflatables. A nozzle adaptor is supplied that screws onto the end of the Sure Fit® nozzle at the free end of the compressor hose. The compressor hose with tire fitting is stored in the compressor hose storage compartment. Refer to the “Features” illustration for locations of the compressor hose.

The Compressor Power Button and Increase (+) and Decrease (–) Compressor Pressure Control Buttons are located on the control panel on the front of the unit. Before proceeding, check the unit’s battery status on the LCD screen. Four solid bars in the battery icon indicate a full battery. When the battery level is nearly empty with only one solid bar, the unit MUST be recharged before use, or the unit’s built-in low voltage protection will activate.

The empty Battery Status Icon will flash for a short period of time before automatic shutdown. The compressor is capable of inflating up to 120 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure. The compressor can operate long enough to fill up to 3 average-sized tires before the battery must be recharged. Return the hose to the storage compartment after use.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the Jump Starter Power Button has been turned off before attempting to use the unit as a Compressor.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE: Follow all safety instructions found in the “Specific Safety Instructions for Compressors” section of this instruction manual.

CAUTION – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE: When the compressor is operated at a low PSI, the unit may start in low and gradually rev up. When the compressor is operated at higher PSIs, the unit may operate normally for several minutes, then rev down for a few minutes before returning to normal operation.

This feature protects the unit from overheating during normal use. In any event, do not operate the compressor continuously for longer than 10 minutes, as it may overheat. This could damage the compressor. If the compressor must be operated for longer periods, every 10 minutes, press the Compressor Power Button to turn the compressor off, then restart after a cooling-down period of approximately 30 minutes.
