• Always use protective eyewear when using this product: contact with battery

FIRST AID
• SKIN: If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with water,

3. CHARGING/RECHARGING
For maximum battery life, we recommend the VECTOR® system be kept fully
charged at all times. If the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state,
battery life will be shortened.
NOTE: Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent
discharges between recharges will reduce battery life
IMPORTANT:
• MAKE SURE ALL SWITCHES ARE TURNED OFF DURING RECHARGING
• Charge unit for full 24 hours using AC method, prior to first use
• Recharge unit fully after each use
• Recharge unit every two months, when it has not been used
3.1 110/120 Volt AC Charging
1. Simply plug the AC plug of the AC/DC adapter/charger into any standard
110/ 120 volt AC wall outlet.
2. Plug the barrel connector attached to the AC/DC adapter into the small barrel
receptacle on the jump-starter that is marked recharge port.
3. After initial 24 hour charge, charge this device for at least 14-16 hours or until
the green FULL indicator lights. Charge at least once a month when not in use.
4. When charging is completed and the FULL light lights, remove the AC/DC
charger plug and store in a safe place.
NOTE: The unit cannot be overcharged using the AC method. The VECTOR ®
system also comes with a DC/DC charging adapter for recharging the unit from
a 12 volt DC accessory socket in a vehicle or boat .
This recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as recharging
from a 110/120 volt AC outlet. The 12 Volt DC recharging procedure is
recommended only when it is necessary, as continued use of the 12 Volt DC
recharging procedure may shorten the battery system’s life .
If unit is fully discharged, it is recommended that the vehicle being used for recharging
be left running while the unit is being charged via the 12 Volt DC method.
