4 Steps to Jump-Starting a Car

Step 1: Insert Jumper Cables into the Jump Starter

Grab your FRAM Emergency Car Jump Starter and the jumper cables that come with it. Make sure the device is fully charged by looking at the battery level indicator. Now start by connecting the jumper cables to the jump starter. Ensure they’re securely attached.

Step 2: Connect Cable Clamps to the Battery

Now it’s time to hook up the cables to your car’s battery. Pop the hood and locate your car’s battery. You’ll see two terminals: positive (+) and negative (-). Clip the red clamp onto the positive terminal of your car battery. Make sure it’s snug and secure. Connect the black clamp to an unpainted metal surface on your car, away from the battery. This could be a bolt or another grounded part. This step helps prevent any sparks.

Step 3: Start the Engine

Power up your FRAM Emergency Car Jump Starter and then get into the driver’s seat and turn the ignition key or press the start button. If your car doesn’t start immediately, wait a few moments and try again. The jump starter should provide enough power to start the engine.

Step 4: Remove the Clamps from the Battery

Once your car is running, you need to safely disconnect the jumper cables. First, switch off the jump starter device. Then carefully remove the black clamp from the grounded metal part. Finally, remove the red clamp from the positive terminal of the battery. After completing these steps, let your car run for a while to ensure the battery is sufficiently charged before driving.
