You connect the booster cable upside down (I think)...
And you have 4 DIP switches on the back... |

Dip switch 1: Lowering the level of low voltage identification at which the booster shuts down due to undervoltage cause by overload. When this dip switch is on the booster shuts of later so it can deliver a bit more 'peak' power.
Dip switch 2: Rise time for overload protection so booster does not shut down by very short overcurrent conditions.
Dip switch 3: not used
Dip switch 4: Lower track output voltage to about 12-14 volts. |
