How To Operate Jump n Carry

It’s simple to use the Clore Automotive JNC325 Car Jump Starter, which is made to offer a rapid and effective way to jump-start your car.

This is a detailed tutorial on how to use it:

  1. Prioritizing Safety
    Make sure all cars are off, as well as the jump starting itself, before using the JNC325. Take off any jewellery with metal, and if you have gloves and safety glasses, put them on.
  2. Getting the Jump Starter Ready:
    The JNC325 should be fully charged both before and after each use. Make sure it is sufficiently charged for a jump start by checking the charge level.
  3. Putting the Jump Starter in Place:
    The JNC325 should be positioned close to the car’s battery, but it should be solid enough to not tip over or slide.
  4. Setting Up the Clamps:
    Find the car battery’s positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Attach the red clamp to the battery’s positive connector. A sturdy surface on the car’s frame or engine block should be connected to the black clamp; it should be distant from the gasoline and battery lines.
  5. Commencing the Jump Start Procedure:
    After connecting, switch the JNC325 on. Get your car started. Wait a few minutes and try again if it doesn’t start right away.
  6. Following the Jump Start:
    After the car starts up, switch off the JNC325. Remove the red clamp and then the black clamp with caution. To recharge the battery, either drive or leave the car running for a time.
  7. Putting the Jump Starter back on:
    Recharge the JNC325 as soon as you’re done using it. To recharge it, use the charging wire or AC adapter that comes with it.
  8. Keep in mind:
    Keep the JNC325 somewhere dry and cool. Even when not in use, give it a regular recharge (every three to six months) to keep the battery in good shape.
  9. Safety Inspections:
    Check the wires and clamps frequently for wear and damage.
    If you observe any damage or flaws, do not use the jump starter.

Even though the Clore Automotive JNC325 is made to be simple to use, don’t forget to always put safety first and adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If you try starting your car multiple times and it still won’t start, there can be other problems that require professional repair.

Unit Status Indication
Press the Status/Power Button on the front of the unit to power the battery status LEDs and see the unit’s state of charge. The unit’s state of charge status is indicated by the number of status LEDs lit: 1 LED – 25%; 2 LEDs – 50%; 3 LEDs – 75%; 4 LEDs – at or near 100%.

  • If the unit has below 75% state of charge, it should be charged soon.
  • If the unit has a below 50% state of charge, it should be charged immediately.

It is recommended that the unit be at or near 100% state of charge when used as a jump starter. This will greatly improve your jump-starting success.

Recharging Your Jump Starter

WARNING: Never use a charger other than the one that was included with your unit. Using an incompatible charger could damage the internal battery, which could result in property damage or injury.
WARNING: When charging the internal battery, work in a well-ventilated area and do not restrict ventilation in any way.

  1. Connect the USB type C jack at the end of the included AC adapter cord to the jump starter through the input port marked “USB-C IN.”
  2. Connect the USB A end of the charging cord to the included AC adapter. Connect the male end of the AC adapter to the AC outlet.
  3. Using this method, the unit will be brought to full charge automatically without overcharging.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Used as a USB Power Supply
Your jump starter can be used to power or recharge a wide variety of small electronic devices.

  1. Connect your device’s charging cable to the device.
  2. Connect the USB end of the charging cable into the USB port on the jump starter.
  3. Press the Status/Power Button on the front of the unit to activate USB charging.

Used as a DC Power Supply

Your unit can be used to power a variety of DC accessories using the included DC Female Adapter. Please note that the typical output voltage of this port is 15VDC (nominal, 14.8V actual), which is similar to the voltage seen from a vehicle’s power port

when the vehicle is running.

  1. Connect the male plug from your DC-powered device to the DC Female Adapter.
  2. Connect the pin jack at the end of the DC Female Adapter cord to the output port marked “15V10A Output”.

Used as a Flashlight
WARNING: Avoid direct exposure of LED light to eyes. Do not shine into the eyes of people or animals. Keep away from children. To turn on the LED Flashlight, press the status/power button and hold for 3 seconds. Successive pushes of the button will change the light pattern from solid to strobe to SOS to off.

Used as a 12 Volt Jump Starter 

Note: For optimum performance, do not store your Jump Starter below 50°F when using as a jump starter. Never charge or jump-start a frozen battery.
Note: When using as a jump starter, it is recommended that the unit be at or near 100%
state of charge as indicated on the unit’s display.
DANGER: Never use an output cable/clamp assembly other than the one that was included with your unit. The use of another cable/clamp assembly could result in personal injury and/or property damage.

  1. Use in a well-ventilated area.
  2. Shield eyes. Always wear protective eyewear when working near batteries.
  3. Review this instruction manual and the instruction/safety manual provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle being jump-started.
  4. Connect output cables/clamps to the jump starter through the covered jump starting port. Be sure that the cable connection is fully engaged and secure.
  5. Turn the ignition off before making any vehicle connections.
  6. Clamp the positive (red +) clamp to the positive terminal on the vehicle
    battery (for negative ground system), or an alternate vehicle starting point as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
  7. Clamp the negative (black, –) clamp to the vehicle ground (unpainted portion of the chassis or non-moving metal engine part). Never connect to the fuel line, fuel injector or carburettor as the engine ground.
    Note: Many vehicles feature alternate starting points, away from the battery. Always use alternate starting points whenever available.
    Note: Make sure the cables are not in the path of moving engine parts
    (belts, fans, etc.).
  8. Upon making a vehicle connection, the BOOST STATUS indicator LED will light solid green, indicating a proper battery connection has been made.
    • If the BOOST STATUS indicator LED lights solid red and sounds an audible alarm after the vehicle connection has been made, this indicates a reverse connection. Disconnect from the vehicle immediately and correct the issue.
    • If the BOOST STATUS indicator LED does not activate after the vehicle connection has been made, this indicates that the vehicle’s battery is too low to allow the unit to activate (<1.0V) or a potential shorted connection. Disconnect from the vehicle and determine the cause of the issue before proceeding.
      Note: Before moving to the steps outlined below, please note that activating the override feature removes all safety from the unit – it is critical that you check all connections and verify that the only issue is a totally dead battery. If you check that all connections are correct and that the problem is a totally dead battery, you can override this safety feature by pressing and holding the override button for over 3 seconds but less than 6 seconds. A successful override indicator is the BOOST STATUS LED lighting solid green.
  9. Start the vehicle (turn on the vehicle ignition).
    Note: If the vehicle doesn’t start within 6 seconds, let the unit cool for 3 minutes before attempting to start the vehicle again or you may damage the unit.
    Note: During very cold conditions, the unit may not start on the first attempt. We suggest attempting to start a second or third time, as the starting attempt will warm the internal battery and improve your starting chances.
    Note: Do not attempt to jump-start after four attempts – either the unit does not have sufficient power to start the vehicle or there is a more extensive problem with the vehicle than simply a depleted battery.
  10. When the vehicle is started, disconnect the negative (–) battery clamp from the vehicle frame. Then, disconnect the positive (+) clamp.
  11. Disconnect the cable/clamp set from the jump starter and properly store them for the next use.

SERVICE, STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION

This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained. When storing the unit, disconnect output leads from the unit and return all components to the zipper case for protection. Do not expose the product to fire or excessive temperatures above 130˚C/265˚F, which may cause explosion or other harm. Care should be taken in the transport of your jump starter to follow safe practices. Always transport the unit in its storage case with output leads disconnected.
