Installation & Setup

Unpack and inspect all contents. Choose a suitable location.

  1. Position the solar panel: Place in direct sunlight, facing the sun at an optimal angle.
  2. Connect solar panel to unit: Use the provided DC cable, connect to SOLAR INPUT port.
  3. Initial AC charging (recommended): Plug the AC adapter into the AC INPUT port and a wall outlet for a full charge before first use.
  4. Power on: Press and hold the POWER button for 2 seconds.

WARNING! Do not expose the power station unit itself to direct rain or extreme temperatures. Ensure all connections are dry and secure.

First-Time Use

Fully charge the unit before initial operation.

  1. Charge via AC: Connect the AC adapter. The LCD will show charging status. A full charge takes approximately 6-7 hours.
  2. Check battery level: The LCD icon indicates remaining capacity (0-100%).
  3. Connect a device: Plug your device (e.g., phone) into a USB port to test output.
  4. Monitor output: The LCD displays real-time output power in watts.

CAUTION! Use only the provided cables and adapters. Using incompatible chargers may cause damage.

Specifications

Controls and Indicators

Front Panel: POWER Button, LCD Display, Output Ports.

LCD Icons: Battery Level, AC/DC/Solar Input, AC/DC/USB Output, Warning Indicators (Overload, High Temp).

Operation: Press POWER to turn on/off. Press the LED Light button (if equipped) to turn on the emergency light. The LCD shows real-time data. Use the AC output button to enable/disable the AC inverter.

Charging the Unit

Three charging methods: Solar, AC Wall Outlet, 12V Car Socket.

  1. Solar Charging: Connect panel to SOLAR INPUT. Ensure full sun. Charging time varies (approx. 6-8 hours in ideal conditions).
  2. AC Charging: Use provided adapter. Fastest method (~6 hours).
  3. Car Charging: Use 12V car cable while vehicle is running.

Tip: For longest battery life, avoid completely draining the battery. Recharge when level drops below 20%.

Powering Devices

Supports phones, laptops (via USB-C PD), lights, small appliances (under 100W).

  1. Check device power requirements: Ensure device wattage is less than the port's maximum rating.
  2. Connect device: Plug into appropriate port (USB, DC, AC).
  3. Enable AC output: If using the AC socket, press the AC output button on the unit.
  4. Monitor: The LCD shows remaining runtime estimate based on current load.
  5. Disconnect: Turn off the device before unplugging.

WARNING! Do not connect devices exceeding 100W total to the AC outlet. Overloading will trigger protection and shut off output.

Maintenance & Storage

Clean with a dry, soft cloth. Store in a cool, dry place.

  1. Battery Care: For long-term storage (>3 months), charge to 50-60% and store in a cool place. Recharge every 3 months.
  2. Solar Panel: Wipe surface with a damp cloth to remove dust/dirt for optimal performance.
  3. General: Keep ports free of debris. Do not disassemble the unit.

CAUTION! Do not immerse any part in water. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
