Connecting to an External Battery
You can extend battery operating times by connecting the
Jazz PP 300 C to a larger external battery.
For example, an external 60 amp-hour battery gives
approximately three times the operating time of the Jazz PP
300 C internal 20 amp-hour battery.
To connect the Jazz PP 300 C to an external battery using
the jump-start cables:
1. Connect the jump-start cables to the Jumper Cable Port
on the left side of the Jazz PP 300 C.
2. Connect the red positive (+) clip of the jump-start cables
to the red positive (+) terminal of the external battery.
3. Connect the black negative (–) clip of the jump-start
cables to the black negative (–) terminal of the external
battery.
If the positive and negative clips are properly connected,
the Battery Clips Connected Properly (green light)
illuminates.
If the positive and negative clips are not properly
connected, the Battery Clips Connected Improperly (red
light) illuminates and the reverse polarity alarm sounds.
4. Remove the red positive (+) clip first, and then the black
negative clip (–) to cancel the alarm.
WARNING: Acid spills
Use a sealed, non-spillable battery for indoor use.
Common auto and marine batteries are not suitable for
indoor use unless their fumes are vented outdoors.
Common auto and marine batteries contain acid, which
is hazardous if spilled. Wear eye protection and
protective clothing when connecting the Jazz PP 300 C
to an external battery.
