STORAGE10.

IMPORTANT:

CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE •

KEEP FULLY CHARGED. •

Charge the Instant Power™ internal battery immediately upon purchase,

every 30 days and after every use.

All batteries are affected by temperature. The ideal storage temperature is

at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The internal battery will gradually self-discharge

(lose power) over time, especially in warm environments. Leaving the

battery in a discharged state may result in permanent battery damage. To

ensure satisfactory performance and avoid permanent damage, charge

the internal battery every month.

When the Instant Power™ is ON, the clamps are live and will produce

arcing or sparking if they come in contact with each other. To prevent ac-

cidental arcing, always keep the clamps on the storage holders and the

JUMP START ON/OFF switch in the OFF position when not using it to

jump start a vehicle.
