then the remove the clip from the battery terminal in that order and clip them back
onto the Instant Power™ storage holders.

RISK OF EXPLOSION.
To prevent sparking, NEVER allow the clips to touch together or to contact the
same piece of metal. Never attempt to jump start a frozen battery.
8.2 Powering a 12V DC Device:
The Instant Power™ is a power source for all 12V DC accessories that are
equipped with a 12V accessory plug. Use it for power outages and fishing or
camping trips.
Make sure the device to be powered is OFF before inserting the 12V DC accessory plug
into the 12V DC accessory outlet.
1. Ensure the battery clips are securely on the storage holders.
NOTE: The clips on the Instant Power™ are live and will produce arcing or sparking if
they come in contact with each other. To prevent accidental arcing, always keep the clips
on the storage holders when not using them to jump start a vehicle.
2. Open the protective cover of the DC power outlet on the back of the Instant Power™.
3. Plug the 12V DC device into the DC power outlet, and turn the 12V DC device on (if
required).
4. If the 12V DC device draws more than 15A or has a short circuit, the internal fuse of
the Instant Power™ will blow and disconnect the power to the device. If this occurs, the
fuse must be replaced by a qualified service person. Unplug the device. The blown fuse
only affects the 12V DC socket.
The DC power outlet is wired directly to the internal battery. Extended
operation of a 12V DC device may result in excessive battery drain.
Recharge immediately after unplugging the 12V DC device.

on the storage holders when not using them to jump start a vehicle.
