IN TRO DUCTIO N  
Thank you for choosing the Bla ck & De ck e r Ju m p -Sta rte r. This compact jump-  
starter is unique in the amount of energy it can supply for its size. The internal  
battery is a high density sealed, lead-acid battery that stores and delivers energy  
comparable to full sized ordinary jump-starters. Please read this guide carefully  
before use to ensure optimum performance and avoid damage to the unit or items  
that you are using it with.  
The Bla ck & De ck e r Ju m p -Sta rte r is a compact, durable, portable jump-start  
system for vehicles and boats that have a standard 12 volt battery system. This self-  
contained, rechargeable system will start most vehicles and boats without the need  
for a host vehicle or 120 volt AC power supply. It can also be used as a safe,  
portable source of 12 volt DC electric power in remote locations and/ or emergency  
situations. It is ideal for use with 12 volt DC cordless, portable, rechargeable  
products and DC/ AC power inverters.  
FEATURES  
Keyless ON/ OFF Safety Power Switch  
• Cordless/ rechargeable, includes AC and DC charging adapters  
Built-in non-spillable, maintenance-free, heavy duty, 9 amp/ hour, sealed,  
lead-acid battery  
Requires no maintenance (other than recharging) for optimum operation  
• Heavy duty, industrial grade copper clamps, and #6AWG jumper cables with  
exclusive recessed cable holsters  
• Exclusive cable storage channels that keep jumper cables out of the way until  
they are needed  
120 volt AC charger is Underwriter Laboratories safety tested and listed  
• Easy-to-read LED battery charge status indicators

A series of three LED indicators (two red and one green) display the level of charge  
in the battery. The left red LED indicates minimum battery charge. Charge the  
battery when only a single red LED is lit. The center red LED indicates moderate  
battery charge level. When the green LED is lit, the battery is at full charge. The  
charge status LEDs will light when the charge status pushbutton is pressed, or  
automatically during AC recharge operation. During DC charging, the charge  
status pushbutton can be pressed periodically to monitor recharging progress.

Located just below the 12 volt DC outlet, the AC port is also covered by a rubber cap.  
The AC recharge adapters barrel connector plugs into this port during recharge.  
5a. Connect NEGATIVE () BLACK clamp to vehicle batterys NEGATIVE terminal.  
5b. Connect POSITIVE (+) RED CLAMP to vehicle chassis or a solid, non-  
moving, metal vehicle component or body part. NEVER CLAMP DIRECTLY  
TO POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL OR MOVING PART.  
LED Are a Lig h t  
Located on the center of the control panel, the twin LED area light provides proper  
lighting while changing a tire or connecting the unit to a battery. This area light is  
activated by the Area Light Power Switch located on the lower right side of the  
control panel.  
6. When clamps are connected properly, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch to ON.  
7. Turn ON the ignition and crank the engine in 5-6 second bursts until engine starts.  
8. Turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch back to the OFF position.  
9. Disconnect the NEGATIVE () engine or chassis clamp first, then disconnect the  
POSITIVE (+) battery clamp.

Ch a rg in g / Re ch a rg in g  
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long  
battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly  
when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging  
to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in use, Black &  
Decker recommends that the battery is recharged at least every 60 days.

Make sure the Jump-Starter Power Switch and Area Light Power Switch are turned  
OFF during AC recharge. When an AC recharge adapter is plugged into the  
recharge port, the battery charge level display will automatically activate. As  
recharge progresses, the red LEDs will light, one by one. Charge the unit until the  
battery charge level display lights or flashes the green FULL LED. Continue to  
recharge for one to two hours, and then disconnect the recharge adapter. AC  
recharge system is an automatic taper charge and can be left connected to the main  
unit for long periods. (See Figure 1 for AC recharge port location).
