3.4 Operating 12-Volt DC Products
1. Ensure the internal battery is fully charged. (See Section
8 for details.)
2. Plug the accessory into the DC Power Socket, and switch
the accessory on (if required). Portable Power 250 will
operate any 12-volt DC auto or marine accessory that
draws 12 amps or less.
3. Because the DC Power Socket is internally wired direct to
the internal battery, extended operation of a 12-volt
accessory may result in excessive battery discharge.
Important: Care must be taken to ensure the battery does
not become totally discharged. (See Section 6.1 for
details.)
3.5 Recharging Jazz Portable Power 250
1. The battery’s charge level may be seen by pressing the
Battery Status Button on the front of the product.
2. To recharge, plug the AC Charger into a household AC
outlet and plug the AC Charger cord into the Charger
Input Socket located below the AC outlet. The Recharge
Indicator will change from amber to green when charging
is complete (about 35 hours). It is safe (and
recommended) to leave the AC Charger connected when
Portable Power 250 is stored.
3. Charging may also be done from the 12-volt outlet or
lighter socket in a vehicle. (See Section 8.3 for details.)
