OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
JUMP-STARTING USING THE SMART CABLES
Battery Clamp Connection Precautions
•
Connect and disconnect the battery clamps only after unplugging
the power source.
•
Make sure the engine is not running when connecting or
disconnecting the battery clamps.
•
Never allow clamps to touch each other.
•
Attach clamps to battery and chassis as indicated in the section
"Connecting the Jump-Starter Using the Included Battery
Clamps".
CONNECTING THE JUMP-STARTER USING THE INCLUDED
BATTERY CLAMPS
1.
Position the Smart Cables Controller to reduce risk of damage
by the car hood, doors, or moving engine parts.
2.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that
can cause injury to persons.
3.
Check polarity of battery posts. The positive (POS, P, +) battery
post usually has larger diameter than the negative (NEG, N, –)
post.
4.
Connect the Smart Cables Connector to the Smart Cables
Port. Be especially careful, since both the Connector and
Controller are "live."
5.
Connect the positive (RED) clamp from the jump-starter to the
positive (POS, P, +) ungrounded battery post. Connect the
negative (BLACK) clamp to the negative (NEG, N, –) battery
post, the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the
battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines
or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
Note: If the battery clamps are incorrectly connected with
regard to polarity, the Bi-Color Jump-Starter Status Indicator
on the Smart Cables Controller will light red until the clamps
are disconnected. Remove the clamps and then reconnect
them with the correct polarity.
6.
When disconnecting the jump-starter, first remove the negative
BLACK (–) clamp from the negative battery post or the vehicle
chassis, and then remove the positive RED (+) clamp from the
positive battery post. Disconnect the double barrel connector
of the Smart Cables Controller from the Smart Cables Port of
unit. Store the Smart Cables Controller in a safe place.
