To Operate a 12V DC Device:

• Open the protective cover of the DC power outlet on the front panel of the

Portable Power 950.

• Plug the 12V DC device into the DC power outlet, and turn the 12V DC device "ON" (if required).

If the 12V DC device draws more than 15A, the internal circuit breaker of the Portable Power 950 wilt momentarily disconnect power to the device.

If this occurs, unplug the device and the circuit breaker will automatically reset after several seconds.

• The DC power outlet is internally wired directly to the internal battery.

Extended operation of a 12V DC device may result in excessive battery drain. Recharge immediately after unplugging the device.

10.1

All batteries are affected by temperature.

The ideal storage temperature is between 40 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The internal battery will gradually self-discharge (lose power) over time, and more quickly 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 JUMP START ON/OFF switch is ON, the clamps are live and will produce arcing or sparking if they come in contact with each other. To prevent accidental 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.

Replacing the built-in light

To replace the built-in light bulb:

1. Turn the light off.

2. Insert a standard (flat-blade) screwdriver into one of the two slots along the bottom of the plastic tens and GENTLY pop the tens out. Repeat for the other side.

3. Insert a replacement bulb of the same type and rating, and twist clockwise one quarter-turn to screw in the new bulb.

4. Replace the tens cover.

5. Test the light by switching the light on and off.
