Turn off unit before connecting high-power devices.
Match device power requirements to output specifications.
Turn on AC output switch for AC sockets.
Monitor LCD for overload warnings.

Tip: Start with the lowest power setting for unknown devices to prevent overload.

Charging & Operation

Supports solar, wall, and car charging.

Solar charging: Connect panel, ensure direct sunlight, LCD shows input watts.
Wall charging: Use included AC adapter, plug into standard outlet.
Car charging: Use 12V car adapter (optional accessory).
Operating devices: Power on unit, turn on AC switch if needed, connect devices.
Monitoring: Check LCD for battery level and output power.
ECO mode: Automatically turns off outputs when connected device is fully charged or removed.
LED light: Hold MODE for 2 seconds to activate emergency SOS flashing.

WARNING! Do not charge and discharge simultaneously at high loads for extended periods. Keep vents clear for cooling.

Safety Features

Overload Protection: Cuts power if load exceeds rating. Short Circuit Protection: Automatically disables output. Temperature Control: Reduces output or shuts down if overheated. Low Voltage Protection: Prevents battery damage by shutting down at 10%.

Care & Maintenance

Store in cool, dry place. Clean with dry cloth; do not use liquids. Recharge every 3 months if storing long-term.

CAUTION! Do not disassemble unit. Avoid extreme temperatures to preserve battery life.
