Solar Charging Operation

Supports charging via compatible 80W solar panel (sold separately).

Setup: Unfold solar panel and place in direct sunlight. Connect to unit's Solar Input port.
Charging: LCD will show solar icon and input wattage. Optimal angle is perpendicular to sun.
Monitoring: Charging time varies by sunlight intensity. Full charge may take 4-6 hours under ideal conditions.
Safety: Unit will automatically regulate input voltage/current. Do not exceed 24V input.

WARNING! Never look directly at solar panel. Keep panel clean and free of shadows for best performance.

Safety Features

Overload Protection: Automatically shuts off output if exceeded. Short Circuit Protection: Cuts power if short is detected. Temperature Control: Reduces output or stops charging if overheated. Low Voltage Protection: Prevents battery damage by shutting down at low charge.

Care & Cleaning

Power off and disconnect all devices before cleaning. Use slightly damp cloth for exterior; do not use solvents. Keep ports free of debris.

CAUTION! Do not open case. No user-serviceable parts inside. Store in cool, dry place when not in use.
