The bars on the Battery Status Icon will change from empty to solid bottom to top repeatedly. The unit should be charged at this time. The empty Battery Status Icon will flash for a short period of time before automatic shut down. The unit will not operate until the battery is recharged. 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, manufacturer recommends the battery should be recharged at least every 30 days and after each use.
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state — you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Manufacturer suggests that you only use the 12 Volt DC Charging Adapter if the unit needs to be charged immediately and no volt power source is available. The bars on the Battery Icon will continue changing from empty to solid bottom to top repeatedly, but may not show 4 solid bars when using the 12 volt DC charging method.
Jump-Starter This unit is equipped with a jump starter power switch that allows energy to flow only when proper connections are made to battery and frame. For negative-grounded systems, connect the positive red clamp to the positive ungrounded battery post and the negative black clamp to 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 gage metal part of the frame or engine block. For positive-grounded systems, connect the negative black clamp to the negative ungrounded battery post and the positive red clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Disconnect the clamps and reconnect to battery with correct polarity. There is a Clamp Connector at the end of the clamps.
The Clamp Connection Slot is located on the back of the unit. Refer to Fig. Remove the Clamps from the storage pouch. Store the clamps in the storage pouch. Make sure the jump-starter power switch is in the off position. Remove jumper clamps from clamp tabs. Connect the red clamp first, then the black clamp. Connect negative — black clamp to chassis or a solid, non- moving, metal vehicle component or body part. Never clamp directly to negative battery terminal or moving part. English 16 to chassis , replace steps 4a and 4b above with steps 5a and 5b, then proceed to step 6.
Never clamp directly to positive battery terminal or moving part. The jump starter icon will flash to indicate the clamps are properly connected. Turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch on. When the Jump-Starter Power Switch is turned on, the Engine Icon lights solid indicating it is time to start the vehicle.
Turn on the ignition and crank the engine in second bursts until engine starts. Turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch off. Recharge this unit fully after each use. Before jump-starting this type of vehicle, read the vehicle manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is advised. If the engine fails to start after the recommended number of attempts, discontinue jump-start procedure and look for other problems that need to be corrected.
The unit may detect that the alternator is out of typical voltage range because someone has added a number of accessory loads on the charging system, thereby increasing current demand from the alternator. This check may not be accurate for every make, manufacturer and model of vehicle. Check only 12 volt systems. Run the engine long enough to achieve normal idle speed and verify there is a no-load voltage. Press the Alternator Check Button to start the check. The backlit LCD screen will display the following to indicate the unit is analyzing the alternator: The Battery Status Icon will light solid and the Alternator Icon will flash.
The Fault Icon will flash. Press the Alternator Check Button again to stop the test and turn off the unit. Portable Compressor The built-in 12 volt DC compressor is the ultimate compressor for all vehicle tires, trailer tires and recreational inflatables. The compressor hose with tire fitting is stored in the compressor hose storage compartment. Four solid bars in the battery icon indicates a full battery. The compressor is capable of inflating up to 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 hose to the storage compartment after use. 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 compressor continuously for longer than 10 minutes, as it may overheat.
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. Do not overtighten. A beep will sound and the backlit LCD screen will display the following: The Compressor Icon will light and the digital display will alternately show the flashing pre-set psi value that was last set by the compressor pressure control buttons and the current pressure of the item being inflated which will light solid.
The unit will sound a beep with each press of the buttons holding the button speeds up the upward or downward value selection. Press the Compressor Power Button once more to begin inflating. The Compressor Icon will flash and the digital display will only show the current pressure value which will light solid to indicate the compressor is activated. Monitor the pressure on the LCD screen.
When desired pre-set pressure is reached, the compressor will automatically stop. Press the Compressor Power Button again to turn off the unit. Allow the unit to cool, then recharge before storing away. Insert the nozzle adapter into item to be inflated. Keep this in mind when setting pressure. Take extra care not to over-inflate. When the desired pressure is reached, the compressor will automatically stop.
Disconnect the adapter from the inflated item. Be sure that the power consumption of the item to be operated is below watts. If the power consumption is rated in amps AC, simply multiply by the AC volts 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. How often do I need to recharge my jump starter? Typically as a general rule 24 - 48 hours immediately after purchase and after every use.
It is also recommended to recharge every 30 - 60 days for approximately 12 hours or until the battery status indicators show full when the product is not in use. How do I know when my jump starter is fully charged?
All of the CAT jump starters have battery status indicators. All CAT jump starters do have reverse polarity alarms. This will give you an audible alarm and visual indication if you connect the cables in reverse until you disconnect it. Be advised that the unit is to be in the OFF position when first connecting it to the battery. Reversing the polarity of a jump starter that is in the ON position upon connection may cause irreparable damage and will void the product warranty.
What is the difference between a jump starter and a battery charger? A jump starter is a product with an internal portable battery with jumper cables attached, it must be recharged and can boost a vehicle without the need of another vehicle or being plugged into household AC power.
A Battery Charger has no battery and must be plugged into household AC power to function. Battery chargers are designed to charge automotive batteries or for maintaining a charge; whereas jump starters assist your vehicle's battery to start a vehicle.
Why is there no output to the clamps? The power switch must be turned ON. Bought this unit 2 years ago and it was unable to boost my Kia Optima dead battery when I needed it most! Very disappointing performance! Only good to inflate tyres or inflatable toys, the USB and lights were okay but can't rely on this to boost a decent 12v dead battery! I plugged in the booster to recharge it. It was charging for about an hour. It was showing 13 volts then it started flipping between 9 volts and 13 volts and then was showing 9 volts with a beeping every second.
No led, no compressor working. Used it only one time. Purchased last year. Great product, we use it constantly in our RV. It should be on the back so you can see what you are doing when inflating the tires at dust or at night.
I'm sure other purchasers found that out like me once they had to add air to a tire at night. I've noticed in the latest model they still haven't rectified that mistake. I bought this powerstation several years ago at Costco. I carry it with me in my trunk. I only charged it one time which was the day I purchased it. Today the power was on low and it still allowed me to jump my car. We love it. I don't understand why people complain about it not coming with its own extension cord we have a number of extension cords laying around that can be used.
