120 Volt AC Charging using a Common Household Extension
Cord (not included)
1. Lift the AC Charger cover located on the back of
the Power Center and connect a standard
household extension cord to the unit. Plug the
other end of the cord into a standard North
American 120 volt AC wall outlet.
2. Charge until three Red and one Green LEDs light.
3. Once fully charged, disconnect the extension cord.
Note: The unit cannot be overcharged using this method.
12 Volt DC Charging
The 12 Volt DC recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as
effectively as recharging from 120 volt AC. The 12 volt DC
recharging procedure is recommended only when it is necessary,
since frequent use of the 12 volt DC recharging procedure may
shorten the battery system’s life.
1. Insert the gold-tipped DC Charging Adapter end plug into the
vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
2. Insert the silver-tipped end plug into the 12 Volt DC Outlet on
the front panel of the unit.
3. To check the charge status of the battery during
DC charging, disconnect the DC adapter from
the accessory outlet and push the Battery
Charge Level pushbutton. Observe the battery
charge indicator.
4. When charging is complete, remove the power
cord.
WARNING
Do not recharge for more than 5 to 6 hours maximum using the
12 volt DC method.
USING THE 12 VOLT DC PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY
1. Flip open the 12 Volt DC Outlet cover on the upper right side of the unit.
2. Insert the 12 volt DC plug from the appliance (cell phone charger, etc.) into the
outlet.
3. Turn on the appliance and operate normally.
Make sure to disconnect all appliances from the 12 Volt DC Outlet when the unit is
being recharged or stored.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE UNIT TO POWER APPLIANCES THAT DRAW MORE THAN
5 AMPS DC.
