indicator (Fig. 1/Item 3) fl ashes.

1. It takes around 24 hours to charge the energy station.

Pressing the pushbutton (Fig. 1/Item 4) displays the charge state of the built-in battery on the integrated voltage meter (Fig. 1/Item 5).

5.2 Charging the energy station with the automobile adapter cable

The energy station can be charged through the automobile's cigarette lighter socket.

Notice! You should only charge the energy station when en route, as otherwise the unit will run down the vehicle's battery.

Never start the vehicle as long as the automobile adapter cable is connected to the cigarette lighter socket.

Insert the 12 volt plug of the automobile adapter cable into the automobile's cigarette lighter socket and insert the other end of the cable into the charging jack of the energy station marked "(RECHARGE)".

6. Outputs

Caution!

Output 12 V through the cigarette lighter plug connection.

10 Amperes max.:

• The 12 V output (Fig. 1 / Item 12) is designed to handle 10 A, i.e. there are max. 10 A available to use.
• Observe the power/electricity consumption values of the consumer, to prevent overloading the energy station. If only the power data of the consumer is known, the maximum electricity value can be easily calculated.

Example calculation:

Consumer: 12V / 50W

The electricity consumption is equal to:

50W / 12V = 4.17A

• The cigarette lighter cable provided can be used to connect a suitable consumer. It is protected by a 10 A fuse.
  • In order to use the 12 V output, remove the protective cap and connect the consumer.

Observe the voltage and electricity values of the appliances to be used, in order not to overload the energy station.

Overload could lead to destruction of the appliance.

The ON/OFF switch (1) for the jump-start cable must be in position "0".

7. Using the light

To switch the light on, proceed as follows: The light (Fig. 1 Item 6) is switched ON and OFF with the switch (Fig.1/Item 7).

8. Jump-start for motor vehicles

Danger!

• The charging cable with pole clips are situated on the side of the appliance.
• If you do not need the charging cable, do not remove this from the appliance.
• Important. Danger of short-circuit if pole clips are contacted.
• The energy station can only be used to jump-start partially discharged motor vehicle batteries. This means you can only convey a limited capacity into the motor vehicle battery.
  • The energy station is NOT designed to start completely discharged batteries!

The terminals are insulated to prevent accidental short-circuiting when connecting the terminals to the vehicle's battery and parts. Short-circuits must be avoided at all costs.

The jump-start feature of the energy station offers a welcome helping hand when having start-up difficulties because of low battery capacity in the motor vehicle battery.

We would like to point out that even standard vehicles are fitted with a whole host of electronic equipment (such as ABS, ASR, injection pump, on-board computer and car phone). The raised starting voltage and occurrence of voltage peaks could possibly lead to defects in the electronic components when starting up. Subsequent damage caused by jump-starting cannot be covered by the product liability insurance. Please also refer to the instructions in the owner's manuals for the car, radio, navigation system, etc.

GB

Only if the energy station is at full capacity can it be used for jump-starting.

Use of the energy station for jump-starting:

1. Connect the red cable (+) of the energy station with the POSITIVE pole (+) of the battery.
2. Connect the black lead (-) of the energy station to the body of the vehicle, e.g. to the ground strap or another free position on the motor block, as far as possible away from the battery, to avoid possible ignition of built up explosive gas.
3. The switch (Fig.1 Item 2) must be in the "ON" position when jump-starting.
4. Switch on ignition, wait approx. 5 min. DO NOT START THE CAR!
5. Now you can try to start the motor with the energy station connected. Make sure that the start attempt does not last more than 3 seconds, as a very high electric current flows, when starting a car.
6. First remove the pole clips on the ground strap (negative pole)
7. Finally remove the jump-start cable from the POSITIVE pole (+) of the car battery.
8. After this start attempt, the energy station must be recharged.

9. Battery status indicator

The voltage meter (Fig. 1/Item 5) keeps you constantly informed as to the charge status of the battery. Its indicator responds when you actuate the push-button (Fig. 1/Item 4).

Green

The battery is 50 - 100 % full.

Yellow

The battery is 0 - 50 % full and should be recharged.

Red

The battery is completely run down. The battery can reach this state after jump starting a vehicle, for example. The battery must be recharged. Continuing to operate the unit from this point may damage the battery.

In order to preserve the operating life of the battery, it should be recharged at least once every 3 - 5 months, irrespective of the amount of usage.

10. Replacing the lamp

The lamp must be switched off.

Proceed as follows to replace the lamp.

1. Using both hands, squeeze the lamp cover (Fig. 1/Item 6) together slightly from the sides, then pull the cover off.
2. Turn the lamp socket anti-clockwise.
3. Replace the lamp with the same style of bulb (i.e. 12 V/0.3 A).
4. To install the new lamp, proceed in reverse order.
5. Snap the light cover (Fig. 1/Item 6) back on.

11. 12 Volt compressor
