• Prior to first use, charge unit for a
full 24 hours using the 120 Volt AC
Adapter. Do not use the 12 Volt DC
Cord for this initial charge.
• Recharging the 3-in-1 PowerPal using
the 12 Volt DC Cord will not recharge
the unit as effectively as using the
120 Volt AC Adapter. The 12 Volt DC
Cord should be used only when
absolutely necessary, otherwise
battery life may be shortened.
• If the vehicle used for recharging via
the 12 Volt DC procedure is left
running, do not charge the unit for
more than one (1) hour. After
charging for one hour, unplug the 12
Volt DC Cord and wait one hour
before checking LED Battery
Level/Charge Indicator (see Fig. 1). If
unit is not fully charged, repeat
charging process.
• Do not recharge for more than 3
hours maximum using the 12 Volt DC
method.
To charge the unit using the 12 Volt DC
Cord:
1. Turn the Master Switch to 'On' (see

2. Insert one end of the 12 Volt DC
Cord into the 12 Volt DC Power
Outlet on the vehicle or boat.
3. Insert the plug on the other end of
the DC adapter into the 12 Volt DC
Power Outlet on the front of the
unit (see Fig. 1).
4. Charge for one (1) hour. Check

2. Place the 3-in-1 PowerPal on a flat,
stable surface near the battery to be
charged. Make sure to keep clamps,
cords, clothing and body parts away
from moving vehicle components.
3. • Remove the Red Positive (+) clamp
from its holster (see Fig. 2) by
squeezing the handles and pulling
straight up.
• Connect the Red Positive (+) clamp to
the positive (+) terminal of the
battery to be jump-started.
4. • Remove the Black Negative (-) clamp
(see Fig. 2) from its holster.
• Connect the Black Negative (-) clamp
to chassis or to a solid, non-moving
metal part of the vehicle as far away
from the battery as possible. Do not
attach the black clamp to the battery
to be boosted or to fuel lines.
5. Start vehicle. Do not turn key for
longer than 3-5 seconds.
6. • After vehicle starts, remove Black
clamp first and return it to its holster.
• Next remove Red clamp and return it
to its holster.
If engine does not start, remove the
Black clamp first and place it in its
holster, then remove the Red clamp and
place it in its holster. Clean the vehicle's
battery terminals. Reconnect the clamps
as in steps 3 and 4 and try to start vehicle.
If this fails, remove the Black and then
the Red clamp. The problem may be
something other than a dead battery.
