specific legal rights; other rights, which vary from state to state, may apply.
Re ch a rg e a b le Po w e r Su p p ly. This compact jump-starter is unique in the
amount of energy it can supply for its size. The internal battery is a high density
sealed, lead-acid battery that stores and delivers energy comparable to full sized
ordinary jump-starters. Please read this guide carefully before use to ensure
optimum performance and avoid damage to the unit or items you are using it with.
TO REQUEST WARRANTY SERVICE FOR THIS PRODUCT: Contact Technical Support by telephone, fax
or mail (see below). We suggest that you keep the original packaging in case you need to ship the unit.

unit, we will make every effort to return it to you within four weeks.
The VEC1 0 3 1 CBD is a compact, durable, portable jump-start system for vehicles
that have a standard 12 volt battery system. This self-contained, rechargeable
system will start most vehicles without the need for a host vehicle or 120 volt AC
power supply. It can also be used as a safe, portable source of 12 volt DC electric
power in remote locations and/ or emergency situations. It is ideal for use with 12
volt DC cordless, rechargeable products and DC/ AC power inverters.

The built-in 12 volt DC inflator is the ultimate inflator for all vehicle tires, trailer tires
and recreational inflatables. Three different sized nozzles are supplied. Each nozzle
will clip on the end of the standard tire valve connector located at the free end of
the inflator hose. The inflator nozzles are stored inside the hose hatch. The inflator
hose with tire fitting is stored in a retaining channel between the jumper cable
channels on the rear of the unit. The inflator can operate long enough to fill up to
3 average sized tires before the battery must be recharged.
7. Recharge the unit before storing away.
CARE AN D MAIN TEN AN CE
This product has a sealed lead acid battery that should be kept fully charged.
Recharge before first use, immediately after each use, and every 60 days if not
used. Failure to do this may reduce battery life dramatically.

2. Insert the silver-tipped end plug into the 12 volt DC accessory outlet on the front
panel of the unit.
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long
battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly
when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging
to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use,
Black & Decker recommends the battery be recharged at least every 60 days.
3. Charge the unit until the green FULL indicator lights when the battery status level
pushbutton is pressed. DO NOT EXCEED 4 HOURS MAXIMUM.
4. When charging is complete, remove the charging cord and store in a safe place.
Check the battery charge level by pressing the battery status button. The LED charge
status display will indicate the level of battery charge. When only one red LED
lights, recharge the unit.

Technical Support: toll free (800) 618-5178. There are no user serviceable parts
inside the unit. Periodically, the cables and connectors should be inspected for
damage, corrosion, dust, and dirt. If surfaces are dirty, they can be wiped clean
with a cloth moistened with water and a drop of detergent. Contacts can be wiped

The 120 Volt AC Charging Adapter is a UL listed “wall” type unit that operates from
any 120 volt, 60 Hz AC supply that has a standard North American outlet. The
adapter has a barrel connector that plugs into the unit’s 120 Volt Recharging Port.
2. Remove the center pin and spring. Remove the fuse.
3. Replace the fuse with a same type and size fuse (8 amp).
4. Replace the center pin and spring inside the plug.
5. Replace the gold cap by turning clockwise onto the plug.
Make sure the Jump-Starter Power Switch and Area Light Power Switch are turned
OFF during AC charging/ recharging. When the 120 Volt AC Charging Adapter is
plugged into the 120 Volt AC Recharging Port, the Battery Charge Status LED
Indicators will automatically light. As recharge progresses, the red LEDs will light,
one by one. Charge the unit until the green FULL LED indicator flashes. Continue to
recharge for one to two hours, then disconnect the Charging Adapter. The AC
recharge system is an automatic taper charge and can be left connected to the main
unit for long periods (the unit cannot be “overcharged” using this method).

Contains a maintenance-free, sealed, non-spillable, lead acid
battery, which must be disposed of properly. Recycling is
required — contact your local authority for information. Failure
