1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Jazz Portable Power 250, your source for Power

That Really Mo es. Easy to use and designed for years of reliable ser ice,

Portable Power 250 can run a wide ariety of AC electrical products where er

you need household power for work or play. In addition, its the product to

ha e close at hand should your power go out at home or you need to jump-

start a ehicle.

Read this guide before using Portable Power 250 and save it for future

reference.

Be sure to charge Portable Power 250 immediately after purchase (see Section

8). Its automatic charging system is intended to be left permanently plugged

into a household AC outlet to keep its battery fully charged and ready for use.

2 Safety First 

Misuse of Portable Power 250 may result in danger to the user. We urge you to

pay special attention to all CAUTION and WARNING statements. CAUTION

statements identify conditions or practices that may result in damage to

Portable Power 250 or to other equipment. WARNING statements identify

conditions that may result in personal injury or loss of life.

WARNING! Sho k hazard. Keep away from hildren.

 This produ t generates the same potentially lethal AC power as

a normal household wall outlet. Treat it with the same respe t

that you would any AC outlet.

 Do not insert any obje ts into its AC outlet, DC Power So ket,

the Jumper Cable Port, or the ventilation holes. Do not expose

this produ t to water.

 Do not, under any ir umstan es, onne t Portable Power 250s

AC re epta le to utility power AC distribution wiring.

 Failure to follow the above safety instru tions may result in

personal injury and/or damage to the produ t.

WARNING! Explosion hazard.

 Do not use this produ t where there are flammable fumes or

gases, su h as in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near

propane tanks. Do not use this produ t in an en losure

ontaining automotive-type lead a id batteries. These

batteries, unlike the sealed battery in Portable Power 250, vent

explosive hydrogen gas whi h an be ignited by sparks from

ele tri al onne tions.

 When working on ele tri al equipment, always ensure someone

is nearby to help you in an emergen y.

WARNING! Heated surfa e.

 Ensure at least 2 in (5 m) air spa e is maintained on all sides of

the unit. During operation, keep away from materials that may

be affe ted by high temperatures su h as blankets, pillows and

sleeping bags.

CAUTION

3 Quick Start Guide

3.1 Overview

The following instructions provide a brief overview of Portable

Power 250s key features. For complete information be sure to

read this manual fully. The diagram below presents product

features and accessories.

Figure 1 - Portable Power 250s Key Features

3.2 An Explanation of Power Ratings and

Battery Life

AC powered products are rated by how much electrical power

(in watts) they consume. Portable Power 250s internal AC

in erter is capable of generating a maximum of 250 watts to

power AC products plugged into its AC receptacle. As an

example, a lamp with a 40 watt bulb can be operated from

Portable Power 250 for up to 3 hours when its internal battery is

fully charged.

12-volt DC auto and arine accessories are generally rated

according to how much electrical current (in amperes or

amps) they draw from the battery. The built-in 12- olt

fluorescent light draws less than 0.7 amps and will operate up

to 23 hours with both bulbs illuminated, or about 46 hours with

one bulb illuminated before the internal battery needs

recharging. Portable Power 250 can supply up to 12 amps from

its DC Power Socket.

Re e ber: The fewer watts an AC product uses, or the fewer

amps a DC accessory draws, the longer Portable Power 250 will

operate before recharging is required.

3.3 Operating AC Electrical Prod cts

1. Ensure the internal battery is fully charged. (See Section

8 for details.)

2. Turn the AC in erter switch ON. The switch illuminates

to indicates AC power is a ailable at the AC outlet.

3. Plug the AC product you wish to operate into the AC

outlet and switch the product ON. Portable Power 250

will operate most de ices rated up to 230 watts.

4. In the e ent of an o erload, low battery oltage, or

o erheating, the AC in erter will automatically shut

down. (See Section 5.3 for details.)

5. Fully recharge the internal battery as soon as possible

after each use.

3.4 Operating 12-Volt DC Prod cts

1. Ensure the internal battery is fully charged. (See Section

8 for details.)

2. Plug the accessory into the DC Power Socket, and switch

the accessory on (if required). Portable Power 250 will

operate any 12- olt DC auto or marine accessory that

draws 12 amps or less.

3. Because the DC Power Socket is internally wired direct to

the internal battery, extended operation of a 12- olt

accessory may result in excessi e battery discharge.

I portant: Care must be taken to ensure the battery does

not become totally discharged. (See Section 6.1 for

details.)

3.5 Recharging Jazz Portable Power 250

1. The batterys charge le el may be seen by pressing the

Battery Status Button on the front of the product.

2. To recharge, plug the AC Charger into a household AC

outlet and plug the AC Charger cord into the Charger

Input Socket located below the AC outlet. The Recharge

Indicator will change from amber to green when charging

is complete (about 35 hours). It is safe (and

recommended) to lea e the AC Charger connected when

Portable Power 250 is stored.

3. Charging may also be done from the 12- olt outlet or

lighter socket in a ehicle. (See Section 8.3 for details.)

3.6 Using Jazz Portable Power 250 to J mp-

Start a Vehicle

Please re iew Section 7 for a detailed explanation.

4 Indicators, Controls and Connectors

Refer to Figure 1 in Section 3.1 and in Figure 2 below for the location of items

described in this section.

4.1 Battery Level Indicators

The Battery Level Indicators show the state of charge of the

internal battery. Its function is similar to the fuel gauge in a car.

When pressing and holding the Battery Status Button one or

more of the four lights will illuminate showing the approximate

amount of charge remaining in the battery. Figure 3 shows the

function of each light:

When the battery is fully charged all four lights will illuminate.

When discharged (empty) only the red light will illuminate and

the battery must be recharged promptly. Figure 3 shows the

battery is approximately ¾ full.

Battery condition is indicated most accurately when the battery

has been unused for 15 minutes. Pressing the Battery Status

Button while supplying power to an AC or DC product may

result in false battery charge level reading.

4.2 Recharge Indicator

The Recharge Indicator operates only when the battery is

being recharged through the Charger Input Socket. It will not

operate when other charging methods are used. When
