Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Place on stable, dry surface.

Position Solar Panel: Unfold panel, adjust kickstand for optimal sun angle.
Connect Solar Panel: Use provided cable to connect panel to SOLAR INPUT port.
Connect to AC Power (optional): Plug AC adapter into wall outlet and DC end into AC INPUT port.
Connect to Car (optional): Plug car charger into 12V socket and DC end into DC INPUT port.

WARNING! Keep away from water, heat sources, and flammable materials. Ensure ventilation around unit.

First-Time Setup

Power on unit; check LCD display.

Initial Charge: Fully charge via AC adapter before first use (approx. 6-7 hours).
LCD Check: Verify battery icon shows 100% and no warning symbols.
Output Test: Connect a small device (e.g., phone) to USB port to confirm power output.
Solar Setup: Place panel in direct sunlight, align for maximum exposure.

CAUTION! Do not disassemble unit. Use only provided cables and adapters.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Front Panel: POWER button, LCD display, output ports. LCD shows: battery percentage, input power (W), output power (W), estimated runtime, warning icons.

Button Functions: POWER: Press to turn AC/DC outputs on/off (USB always on). Hold 3 seconds to turn unit fully on/off.

Settings via LCD: No user settings; display is informational only. Battery saver mode: Automatically turns off outputs after 12 hours of no load (AC/DC).

Connecting Devices

AC Devices: Plug into AC outlet (max 300W). DC Devices: Use car port (max 120W). USB Devices: Plug into USB-A or USB-C ports.

Check device power requirements (watts/amps).
Ensure total connected load does not exceed 300W for AC, 120W for DC.
Connect device cable to appropriate port.
Press POWER button to enable AC/DC outputs (if not auto-on).

Tip: For high-power devices (e.g., mini-fridge), start them first before connecting other devices.

Charging & Power Management

Supports simultaneous charging and discharging (pass-through).

Solar Charging: Connect panel, ensure full sun. LCD shows input power (15-30W typical).
AC Charging: Fastest method, 65W max input. Full charge in ~6 hours.
Car Charging: Use while driving, 12V/8A input. Full charge in ~8 hours.
Battery Level: LCD shows percentage; recharge below 20% for battery health.
Runtime: Varies by load. Example: 50W load = ~5 hours; 10W load = ~25 hours.

WARNING! Do not cover unit while charging. Disconnect if overheating occurs.

Safety Features

Overload Protection: Automatically shuts off output if exceeded. Short Circuit Protection: Cuts power if short detected. Temperature Control: Reduces power if over 140°F (60°C). Low Voltage Protection: Shuts off at 10% battery to prevent damage.

Care & Cleaning

Turn off and unplug all connections before cleaning. Use dry, soft cloth for exterior. For solar panel, wipe gently with damp cloth if dirty.

CAUTION! Do not use chemicals, abrasives, or water sprays. Store in cool, dry place.
