SCEPTRE POWER BOOST User Manual
WARNINGS
This product is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design
limits, and misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent the product
from being damaged, the following rules should be observed for the
installation, use and maintenance of the product. Read the following safety
instructions before operating the display. Keep these instructions in a safe
place for future reference.
The Sceptre Power Boost generates power similar to a normal household wall
outlet. Operating the Sceptre Power Boost incorrectly or misusing it may
damage the equipment or create hazardous conditions for the user.
This is a product with potential lethal power and should be kept away from
children.
The Sceptre Power Boost generates same potentially lethal power as a
normal household wall outlet. Do not insert foreign objects into the AC Outlet,
the DC Power Socket, or the large current output. Do not expose this product
to water, rain, snow, dust, moisture, sunlight or spray.
Do not use this product where there are flammable fumes or gases, such as
in the bilge of a gasoline-powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use
this product in an enclosure containing automotive-type lead acid batteries.
When working on electrical equipment, always ensure someone is nearby to
help you in an emergency.
Ensure at least 2” air space is maintained on all sides of the Sceptre Power
Boost. During operation, keep away from materials that may be affected by
high temperatures such as blankets, pillows, and sleeping bags.
Never allow jump-start cables’ red and black clamps to touch each other or
another common metal conductor. This could cause damage to the unit
and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard. Always disconnect the jump-start
cables from the unit after use and close and tighten the plastic guard over the
jump-start cable large current output port.
Jump-start cable clamps must be connected positive to positive (red clamp to
battery [+]) and negative to negative (black clamp to battery [-]). A reverse
polarity connection (positive connected to negative) may cause damage to
the unit and/or create a sparking / explosion hazard.
The jump-start feature is designed for short term operation only; less than 4
seconds. Operating the jump-start feature for more than 4 seconds may
cause damage to the unit. Allow the Sceptre Power Boost to cool down for at
least 3 minutes after each jump start.
The battery terminals exposed at the jump-start high current output port have
enough energy present to cause a spark, creating an explosion hazard, or to
cause burns if a metal object contacts both terminals. Always cover the port
with the plastic screw in cover when not in use.
Do not connect any AC appliance (with the neutral conductor connected to
ground) to the Sceptre Power Boost.
Do not expose the Sceptre Power Boost to over 140 °F.
Do not physically damage the Sceptre Power Boost i.e. dropping it on the
ground, or putting heavy objects on it.
Do not let the device come in contact with harsh chemicals such as Benzene,
diluents.
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the Sceptre Power Boost.
