Black & Decker SIMPLE START BB7B - Manual (Page 4)

USING THE SIMPLE START ™ IN BOOST MODE
Make sure the unit is sufficiently charged before attempting to use this
feature (see the “Charging/Recharging” section on page 8).
1. Turn off headlights, cabin light, radio and all other vehicle accessories
before using the SimpleStart
™ in boost mode.
2. Turn the unit ON by pressing the ON/OFF Power Push button. The unit
will beep once and the red Power LED Indicator and Battery Status LED
Indicator will light to indicate it is functioning.
3. Remove the 12 Volt DC Vehicle Charging Cord from its storage
compartment and plug it into the vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
4. Press the Vehicle Boost Push button. If properly connected, the unit will
beep once again and the Vehicle Boost LED Indicator will
flash green,
indicating the vehicle battery is being charged/boosted. If the unit beeps
continuously, recheck plug connection. If plug is properly connected and
the unit still beeps continuously, your vehicle's ignition key may need to be
in the accessory (ACC) position to activate the 12 Volt DC outlet. If so turn
the unit off, turn the ignition key to the accessory position, turn the unit
back on and press the Vehicle Boost Push button.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery,
engine or battery booster.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and
watches when working with a lead acid battery. A lead acid battery can
produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring, or the like of a
metal, causing a severe burn.
• Read and understand this instruction manual before using this unit.
