• KEEP fULLY CHARgED.
This Portable Power 950 comes with a sealed, non-spillable DieHard
maintenance-free lead-acid battery. This internal battery is specifically
designed to deliver high power jump-starting as well as repetitive deep
cycling performance.

3.1
3.2
Check the internal battery’s charge level by pressing the switch marked
DISPLAY. The Digital Display will show the battery’s percentage. Charge if
under 100%
NOTE: Internal battery’s percentage is most accurate when the Portable
Power 950 has been disconnected from all devices and charging sources
for 1 - 24 hours.
To charge, plug the (external) wall charger cord into the socket on the
back of the 950. Then, plug the wall charger into a 120V AC source.
CAUTION: Operating the Portable Power 950 while the internal battery is
being charged may cause permanent damage to the unit.
3.3
3.4
While the 950 is charging, the battery’s percentage of charge will be
displayed. When the internal battery is fully charged, the display will show
100. Complete charging may take up to 48 hours. The 950 is then ready
to use.
Once the battery is fully charged, the internal charging circuitry automati-
cally switches to float-mode monitoring, which keeps the battery fully
charged without overcharging.
The internal battery may also be charged while you drive using the male-
to-male accessory cable (available separately, see “Accessories and Re-
placement Parts” section of this manual). Insert one end of the accessory
cable into the 12V DC power outlet and the other end into the vehicle’s
accessory outlet (lighter socket). Completely disconnect the accessory
cable when the engine is not running.

JUMP-STARTINg A VEHICLE ENgINE
Use in a well-ventilated area. Keep hands, hair, clothing and jewelry clear
of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that may cause injury.
4.1
4.2
Turn ignition off before making cable connections.
Place the 950 on a flat, stable surface near the vehicle battery and away
from moving engine parts.
4.3
Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle battery.
NOTE: In the rare case of jump-starting a vehicle that has a positive-
grounded vehicle electrical system, connect the black clamp to the
negative terminal of the vehicle battery. Then connect the red clamp to
an unpainted and unmoving part of the vehicle chassis or engine block. If
you are unsure of the nature of the vehicle’s electrical grounding system,
check the owner’s manual of the vehicle or call the Customer Technical
Assistance number: 1-800-SEARS-64.
4.4
Connect the black clamp to an unpainted and unmoving part of the vehicle
chassis or engine block. Do not connect to the carburetor, fuel lines or
sheet-metal body parts. The Digital Display displays the vehicle’s voltage.

CAUTION: If you have connected the clamps backwards, an audio alarm
will sound. DO NOT turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. This could
cause serious damage. Reverse the connections and the audio alarm will
stop.
4.5
Turn ON the JUMP START ON/OFF switch and then turn key and crank
the engine. If the engine does not start within 5-8 seconds, stop cranking
and wait at least 1 minute before attempting to start vehicle again. This
permits the battery to cool down.
4.6
4.7
After the engine starts, make sure to turn OFF the Jump Start switch.
Then disconnect the black clamp (-) and then the red clamp (+) in that
order.
Recharge the 950 as soon as possible after use.
CAUTION: To prevent sparking while the 950 jump start switch is in the
ON position, NEVER allow the clamps to touch together or to contact the
same piece of metal. Never attempt to charge a frozen battery.

DIgITAL DISPLAY fUNCTIONS
5.1
To check the 950’s internal battery status, push the POWER switch on the
front of the 950 to the DISPLAY position. The display will show the charge
percentage of the internal battery.
5.2
When connected to the vehicle, the display shows the vehicle’s battery
voltage. When connected and in the ON position, the display shows the
equalized voltage between the vehicle’s battery and internal battery. If
the display button is pressed, the battery percentage is shown (instead of
voltage).

POWERINg A 12V DC DEVICE
The Portable Power 950 is a power source for all 12 volt DC accessories
that are equipped with a 12V accessory plug. The DC accessory outlet
has a 15-amp automatic overload protection circuit breaker. The breaker
will automatically reset after an overload occurs.
6.1
To Operate a 12V DC Device:
• Open the protective cover of the DC power outlet on the front panel of the
Portable Power 950.
• Plug the 12V DC device into the DC power outlet, and turn the 12V DC
device “ON” (if required).
• If the 12V DC device draws more than 15A, the internal circuit breaker of
the Portable Power 950 will momentarily disconnect power to the device.
If this occurs, unplug the device and the circuit breaker will automatically
reset after several seconds.
• The DC power outlet is internally wired directly to the internal battery.
Extended operation of a 12V DC device may result in excessive battery
drain. Recharge immediately after unplugging the device.

10. STORAgE AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
• CHARgE IMMEDIATELY AfTER PURCHASE
• KEEP fULLY CHARgED.
Charge the 950 internal battery immediately upon purchase, every 30
days and after every use.
All batteries are affected by temperature. The ideal storage temperature is
between 40 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The internal battery will gradually
self-discharge (lose power) over time, and more quickly in warm environ-
ments. Leaving the battery in a discharged state may result in permanent
battery damage. To ensure satisfactory performance and avoid permanent
damage, charge the internal battery every month.
When the JUMP START ON/OFF switch is ON, the clamps are live and
will produce arcing or sparking if they come in contact with each other. To
prevent accidental arcing, always keep the clamps on the storage holders
and the JUMP START ON/OFF switch in the OFF position when not using
it to jump start a vehicle.
10.1 Replacing the built-in light
To replace the built-in light bulb:
1. Turn the light off.
2. Insert a standard (flat-blade) screwdriver into one of the two slots along
the bottom of the plastic lens and gENTLY pop the lens out. Repeat for
the other side.
3. Insert a replacement bulb of the same type and rating, and twist clock-
wise one quarter-turn to screw in the new bulb.
4. Replace the lens cover.
5. Test the light by switching the light on and off.
