Using Your Rescue
Before using your portable power pack, you should fully charge it. Note: The Rescue 2100
will recharge only when the voltage selector is in the 12V position. The battery display meter
will show when the unit is charging and when it is fully charged. You can check the actual
battery voltage any time by pressing the internal battery voltage button. Recharge every 30
days or anytime the internal battery voltage falls below 11.5V. Fluctuations in temperature
can accelerate battery discharge. Check your unit often. Charge using the supplied built-in
A/C charger or use the Rescue 604095 in-cab charging cord.
Use Your Power Pack Safely
• If the Rescue 2100 is not fully charged it may shut down under heavy load if it cannot
deliver sufficient voltage.
• Failure to keep internal battery charged will lead to permanent battery damage.
To Jump Start a Vehicle or Machine:
1. Determine the required battery voltage of the vehicle to be jump started, and set the
switch on the back of the power pack to the correct voltage. Verify that the correct
voltage light is illuminated on the front panel of the power pack.
2. Check vehicle battery terminals before using the power pack; clean them if necessary.
3. Connect the red (positive +) clamp to the positive terminal or post on the discharged
battery.
4. Connect the black (negative –) clamp to a ground away from the battery, such as an
alternator bracket.
• Note: Some vehicles are equipped with positive and negative start terminals away
from the battery. Use these terminals when available.
5. Verify the green Smart Polarity light is on. If it is, press Start. If it is not, refer to the
troubleshooting section.
6. Verify the Power light is on. The unit is now supplying jump starting power to your
vehicle.
7. Start the engine. After approximately 6 seconds of continuous cranking, if the disabled
vehicle fails to start, stop and wait for 2 minutes. This prevents damage to your power
pack and to your vehicle's system from overheating.
8. Turn off the power switch on the back of the power pack and disconnect the clamps,
first negative and then positive. Store clamps properly on unit.
9. Recharge power pack after use.
To Use as a 12V or 24V Power Source
1. Determine the voltage requirement for the device to be powered. Select 12V or 24V on
the back of the power pack.
2. Connect the red (positive +) clamp to the positive input terminal and the black
(negative –) clamp to the negative input terminal.
3. Verify that the Low Voltage/Smart Polarity Off light is illuminated.
4. Press and hold the Start button for 4 seconds. The battery meter display will show
a countdown.
5. Verify the Power light is on. The power pack is now supplying current to your device.
6. Turn the unit off by turning the switch on the back of the power pack off, and then
disconnect the clamps.
7. Recharge power pack after use.
