The COBRA CJIC 250 features the following:

• 100W AC output for operating household appliances

• 260 PSI air compressor

• 12 Volt DC power outlet for DC accessories & appliances

• LED super bright emergency light

• 5V USB port to power up or charge cellphones, PDAs or consumer electronic devices

• 500 peak Amps of instant starting power to start vehicles

1. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.

2. Make sure the area around the battery is well-ventilated.

3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of the engine or batteries.

4. Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or allow a metal tool to simultaneously touch the positive and negative cable ends or battery terminals. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts and cause an explosion.

5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with batteries. Batteries produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or other similar objects to metal, causing a severe burn.

6. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the negative terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause an arc.

7. Someone should be within range of your voice, or close enough to come to your aid when you work near batteries.

8. Have plenty of fresh water, soap and a supply of baking soda on hand in the area of the batteries in case of contact with battery acid. Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte.

9. The product is supplied with a rechargeable, sealed lead acid battery. This battery is self contained and not consumer replaceable. Batteries must be disposed of properly when they no longer hold a charge.

The battery level indicators display the charge status based on voltage:

Note: It is recommended that you should check the battery voltage every 30 minutes during charging.

To operate AC appliances:

1. Check battery status to ensure the battery is fully charged.

2. Open the AC Outlet cover.

3. Turn the AC socket switch ON.

4. Plug the AC appliance into AC outlets.

5. Turn the AC appliance ON.

6. Recharge the power pack immediately after use.

The COBRA CJIC 250 can power devices such as a 13” TV (80W), Video Game System (20W), or Weather Radio (10W). The operating range is 80 watts or less for continuous operation and 100 watts for 5-minute operation.

In the event of an overload (>100W) or overheating, the power pack automatically shuts down power to the AC outlets. If, after a while the audible warning is ignored and a manual reset is not performed, the unit will do a complete shutdown automatically.

Yes. The output of the power pack inverter is non-sinusoidal (modified sine wave). Some equipment may be damaged by this. The following types of appliances may be damaged:

• Electronics that modulate RF (radio frequency) signals on the AC line will not work and may be damaged.

• Speed controllers found in some fans, power tools, kitchen appliances, and other loads may be damaged.

• Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged.

• Metal halide arc (MHI) lights can be damaged.

If you are unsure about powering any device with the power pack, contact the manufacturer of the device to determine whether it is compatible with modified sine wave output.

The power pack can operate one 12V DC auto, RV, marine, or other portable DC appliance that draws 10 amps or less from its DC socket. The combined load must not exceed 120 W.

1. Check battery status to ensure the battery is fully charged.

2. Open the DC socket.

3. Plug the DC appliance into the DC socket.

4. Turn the DC appliance ON.

5. Recharge the power pack immediately after use.

To inflate your vehicle, motorcycle, or bicycle tires:

1. Locate valve connector.

2. Remove from storage and uncoil hose.

3. Remove valve stem cap from tire to be inflated.

4. Put the thumb latch in the OPEN position.

5. Insert the desired adapter into the valve connector.

6. Place valve connector firmly and completely over valve stem on the tire.

7. Press the thumb latch toward the house until it locks into the closed position.

8. Insert into the valve receptacle on the item to be inflated.

9. Press the compressor switch to turn the compressor ON.

10. Inflate to desired pressure.

11. Press the compressor switch to turn the compressor OFF.

12. Remove the valve connector from the valve receptacle.

13. Put the thumb latch in the OPEN position.

14. Remove the adapter.

15. Double-check the air pressure with a pressure gauge.

16. Replace valve stem cap.

17. Store the valve connector.

Note: The compressor is designed for short-term operation only. Allow the compressor to cool down for 10 minutes after each 10 minutes of continuous operations.

No. The power pack with air compressor cannot be used to inflate large capacity inflatables such as float tubes, large air mattresses, transport truck tires, and inflatable boats. These types of products require extended inflating times, which may damage the compressor.

You can use the power pack to jump start a vehicle (or boat engine) that has a 12V starting battery.

1. Turn off the vehicle and all accessories.

2. Place the unit on a flat and stable surface near the battery which need to be started. Ensure that the unit’s jump start power switch is “OFF”.

3. Connect the red positive (+) clamp of the cables to the positive (+) terminal of the engine battery.

4. Connect the black negative (-) clamp of the cables to the engine block, cylinder head, or other stationary heavy metal part of the motor. If the red “Reverse Polarity” LED illuminates, then reverse polarity has been detected. Correct polarity must be established before proceeding. Disconnect the jump starting clamps from the vehicle’s battery and repeat steps (3) and (4).

5. Switch on the jump start power switch. Before starting the engine, make sure the jumpstarter pack and the cables are clear of the metal parts and other moving things.

6. Crank the engine for 5 seconds or until it starts, whichever is first.

7. Switch off the jump start power switch.

8. Remove the red positive (+) clamp and then the black negative (-) clamp.

Warning: Do not try to start the engine for more than 5 seconds. Allow the unit to cool down for at least 3 minutes after each start attempt.

To recharge with AC charger:

1. Turn the rotary switch to the “OFF” position.

2. Plug AC charging adapter into charging jack on the front of the unit.

3. Plug AC charging adapter into 120V AC electrical outlet.

4. Continually charge until the battery is fully charged; for about 23 hours.

While charging from an AC source, the charging status LED indicator will light red. When the battery has reached capacity, the indicator will light orange. If the voltage is less than 120V AC at the wall outlet, it may take more than 23 hours to fully recharge.
