IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Read and understand all Important Safety and Operating instructions before using this product. In addition, read and follow all battery and vehicle manufacturer’s instructions and cautionary markings.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR USING THE JUMP STARTER
1. Wear complete eye protection and protective clothing when working near lead-acid batteries. Always have someone nearby for help.
2. Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking soda nearby for use, in case battery acid contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing. Wash immediately with soap and water and seek medical attention.
3. If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately for a minimum 10 minutes and get medical attention.
4. Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to clean up.
5. Remove all personal metal items from your body, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring to metal, causing a severe burn.
6. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
JSL-950 USER’S MANUAL PAGE 2
7. Use the unit for jumpstarting a 12V LEAD-ACID battery only. Do NOT attempt to jump-start a vehicle with a non-rechargeable or defective battery.
8. Working in vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. Use in well-ventilated area. Battery acid can cause permanent blindness. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
9. To avoid damage to the vehicle’s electrical system, do NOT use the unit on a vehicle that has no battery installed.
10. Use of an accessory not recommended or sold by the manufacturer or retailer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons. Do
NOT operate with damaged accessory(s).
11. Locate the unit as far away from battery as jumper cables permit.
12. Do NOT expose to rain or wet conditions.
13. To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting.
14. Operate with caution if the jump starter has received direct hit of force or been dropped. Have it checked and repaired if damaged.
15. Any repair must be carried out by the manufacturer or an authorized repair agent in order to avoid danger.
16. To prevent arcing, never allow the clamps to touch together or to touch the same piece of metal.
17. Ensure that the jumper clamps are securely clipped on the storage holders when unit is not used for jumpstarting.
18.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Incorrect operation of this product may result in damage and personal injury. The output of this product is 120V AC and can shock or electrocute the same as any ordinary household AC wall outlet.

CHARGING
This product is partially charged from the manufacturer. Fully charge the unit immediately after purchase. In order to prolong the internal battery life, be sure to fully recharge the unit after each jumpstarting, or every month even if this unit has not been used. In addition, we recommend not to charge and discharge the unit at the same time.
To check the internal battery’s charge status, press the Battery Voltage and % Indicator button (the screen will turn off in 10 seconds). Charge the internal battery if the display shows it is under 100%.
NOTE: The internal battery’s percent of charge is most accurate when the jump starter has been disconnected from all devices and charging sources for a few hours.
AC Charging (Recommended):
1. Insert AC charging adapter into charging jack of the unit.
2. Plug the other end of AC charging adapter into a wall socket.
DC Charging in Your Vehicle:
You may also charge the internal battery while driving, using a male-to-male
(insertion plug at each end) charger cable.
1. Turn the vehicle engine on.
2. Insert one end of the accessory cable into the 12V DC power outlet.
3. Insert the other end of the accessory cable into the vehicle’s accessory outlet (lighter socket).
4. Turn on the Jump Start + 12V DC Power On/Off Switch.
NOTES: Using DC charging method to charge the battery overrides the maintain mode and the battery can be overcharged. Monitor the progress of the charge by pressing the Battery Voltage and % Indicator button and do disconnect immediately after battery is fully charged. Completely disconnect the charger cable when the engine is not running.

JUMP STARTING
1. This unit is only for emergency use, not for frequent commercial use! Do
NOT attempt to jumpstart your vehicle when the unit’s battery capacity is below 30%.
2. Turn off the vehicle ignition and all accessories (radios, lights, air conditioners, etc.), and disconnect electronic devices.
3. Identify polarity of battery posts. The positive battery terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbol: POS, P, +. The negative battery terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbol: NEG, N, -.
4. Do NOT make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin metal parts.
5. Identify if you have a negative or positive grounded vehicle. This can be done by identifying which battery post (NEG or POS) is connected to the chassis.
6. For a negative grounded vehicle (most common): connect the RED
POSITIVE jumper clamp first to the positive battery terminal, then connect the BLACK NEGATIVE jumper clamp to the negative battery terminal or vehicle chassis.
7. For a positive grounded vehicle (very uncommon): connect the BLACK
NEGATIVE jumper clamp first to the negative battery terminal, then connect the RED POSITIVE jumper clamp to the positive battery terminal or vehicle chassis.
WARNING: If you have connected the clamps backwards, an audio alarm will sound and the Warning LED will be lit. Do NOT turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Reverse the connections and the audio alarm will stop.
NEVER allow two clamps to touch together or connect to the same metal when ON/OFF switch gets the ON position! The jumpstarting function does
NOT have reverse polarity protection or short circuit protection. Incorrect operation of your jump starter may result in damage and personal injury.
8. Turn the switch to the ON position.
9. Crank the engine for no more than 8 seconds. If the engine does not start, wait 3 minutes before cranking again.
JSL-950 USER’S MANUAL PAGE 7
10. After the engine starts, immediately turn the switch to the OFF position and remove the unit from the battery.

SUPPLY TO 120V DEVICES
The inverter in this product uses a uses a modified sine waveform, which is not quite the same as power company electricity. We strongly recommend that you check the device’s manual to make sure it is compatible with
JSL-950 USER’S MANUAL PAGE 10
modified sine waveform. It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use with the inverter. The Smartech JSL-950 Power
Station must be used with devices drawing 400 watts or less. If powering more than one device, start one device at a time to avoid a power surge and/or inverter overload. The surge load of each device should not exceed the inverter’s continuous operation wattage rate.
POWERING A 120V AC DEVICE: Plug the device into 120V AC power outlet on the front panel. Press 120V AC Power On/Off button first, then turn the device on.
NOTE: When this product acts as a power inverter, it sounds an alarm to alert you that it is in low voltage protection. The inverter also features short circuit, overheat and overload protection.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Incorrect operation of this product may result in damage and personal injury. The output of this product is 120V AC and can shock or electrocute the same as any ordinary household AC wall outlet.
NOTE: The maximum continuous load is 400 watts. Do not use the inverter with a product that draws more than 400 watts, as this may cause damage to the inverter and the product.
