WARNINGS & SAFETY INFORMATION
DO NOT operate monocrystalline solar panels UNLESS YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS MANUAL and
the panel should be installed as per these installation instructions. ATEM POWER recommends that the panel be
installed by a suitably qualified person.
Please note that this solar panel is designed to charge a power station with input voltage ≥20V and input current ≥5A.
Using this solar panel to charge an incompatible power station will cause low power output.
Please bear in mind that the solar panel should be kept away from liquids and chemical solvents.
Never place your solar panel near fire or flammable materials.
Do not immerse the solar panel in water or wet it.
Any modifications to the product will void the warranty.
You should never disassemble, bend, hit or step on your solar panel. Handle and install your solar panel with care,
otherwise cells and wiring may be damaged, which can cause short circuit, local overheating and decrease in efficiency.
Ensure nothing sharp or heavy could potentially break or damage the solar panel during transport or storage.
Do NOT connect the solar panel directly to a battery.
An unconnected panel exposed to light may generate voltages greater than 20V on their leads. Completely cover all
panels with an opaque material during installation, and when connecting or disconnecting to reduce the chance of an
electrical spark.
Never touch terminals when the panel is exposed to light or during the installation. Use insulating gloves and properly
isolated tools.
Do not use mirrors or other devices to artificially concentrate sunlight on the panel.
Remove any shades (such as shades from weeds, trees, buildings, etc.) which cover your solar panel while it is working.
You must not use fabrics or other stuff to directly cover the whole or part of the surface of the product while it is working.

OPERATION
Find a dry and flat location with good ventilation where your solar panel will enjoy the most sunlight and longest sun
hours to generate solar power. Open the solar panel and unfold the kickstands. Fix the kickstands with the holes on them.
Note: When setting up your system, the panel should be out of the sun or covered for safety reasons.
Fix your solar panel with its four holes if you mount it onto the roof, the back, or the side of your vehicle.
Take out the Anderson plug from the accessory bag and connect it to ATEM POWER portable power station.
Note:Please make sure connection is tight.
When uninstalling, you are required to repeat the steps from last to first.

TIP
Solar panels should be installed in a location where there is no constant shading. In the northern hemisphere, panels
should ideally face south, and in the southern hemisphere, panels should ideally face north.
