TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Unit is not recharging. Make sure wall charger is property connected.
Make sure the contacts at the bottom of the Unit
and at the top of the M-DOCK are clean and free
from foreign objects.
Make sure Unit is within operating temperature
range. If Unit is too cold or too hot, it will not charge.
Unit is not charging or powering
my device.
Make sure the Unit is powered on. If the Battery Level
indicator is o, press the power button to turn the
Unit on.
If the battery level is too low, the bottom battery
level indicator will blink rapidly. In this case, the Unit
must be recharged before use.
Unit is not charging or powering my
devices and the top 4 LEDs blinking.
This occurs when the Unit has detected it is outside
of its operating temperature range.
If too hot, make sure the fan vents are not
obstructed to ensure proper air ow bring the Unit to
a cooler location, and allow the Unit to return to
normal operating temperature.
If too cold, bring the Unit to a warmer location and
allow the Unit to return to normal operating
temperature.
Bottom LED is blinking.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION !
1. Read all the instructions before using the Duracell M250
(hereinafter referred to as Unit).
2. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when the Unit
is used near children.
3. Do not expose the Unit to rain or snow or use the unit when lightning is expected or
present.
Do not place the Unit in direct sunlight. Only place the Unit in clean, dry places.
4. Use only recommended Duracell accessories and chargers.
5. Do not expose the Unit to re or excessive temperature. Any such exposure to re or
temperature above 140°F (60°C) may cause an explosion. Do not use near ammable
gases or fumes.
6. Do not use the Unit with damaged wires or plugs.
7. Do not use the Unit if it is damaged or modied. Damage or modication of the Unit,
including the lithium-ion battery pack within the Unit, may exhibit unpredictable
behavior resulting in re, explosion, or risk of injury.
8. Make sure to use the Unit in a ventilated environment. Do not restrict the ventilation of
the Unit in any way during usage.
9. During storage, keep the Unit in a dry and ventilated place to avoid moisture and
electric shock.
10. This Unit has no serviceable parts.
11. Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the Unit. It may cause re, explosion, injury, and
unpredictable risks.
12. Do not remove power cables by pulling on the cable itself, as it may fray and cause a
short circuit. Cables should be properly removed by holding their connectors and pulling.
13. Do not put coins, metal credit cards, or any other metal objects between your phone
and the tiltable lid during wireless charging.
14. AC output is Simulated / Quasi / Modied Sinusoidal AC Waveform. See caution
statement on the next page before connecting the appliances to the Unit.
15. Please visit www.duracell.com or call Duracell Consumer Relations at 800-551-2355 if
you experience any problems with the Unit.
If instructions are not followed, it can cause hospitalization, serious injury, or death. Serious
injuries include blindness, burns, electric shock, etc., leading to complications.

WARNING AND HAZARD TYPES !
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Do not subject the Unit to mechanical shock. Keep away from children.
The Unit generates the same potentially lethal 120V AC Voltage as a standard
household wall outlet. To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not open the enclosure
or expose the Unit to rain or moisture. Do not insert foreign objects into the AC connection
or the ventilation holes. All USB and AC plugs must be appropriately inserted and avoid
using damaged cables. Do not operate outside of its operating temperature range of 4°C
to 40°C.
FIRE HAZARD
Do not burn or incinerate the Unit. Exposing the Unit to heat or re may cause an
explosion and personal injury or damage. Do not use near ammable gases or fumes or
apparatus that produces large amounts of heat.
APPLIANCE CAUTIONS (for Simulated/Quasi/Modied Sinusoidal AC Waveform):
The Unit’s AC output is a 100W 120V/60Hz modied sinusoidal wave intended for charging
portable electronic devices such as Laptops, Tablets, and Mobile phones.
The AC output can also be used for small fans and lights and charging of other portable
electronic devices.
Some fans with synchronous motors may create noise when powered by a modied
sinusoidal waveform AC Voltage.
Some devices require a pure sinusoidal wave AC output and can be damaged by a modied
sinusoidal wave. Please check the manufacturer's recommendation. Devices rated more
than 100W (e.g. Toaster, Coee Maker, Refrigerator, Hair Dryer, etc.) will not function.
DO NOT plug small appliances into the Unit’s AC receptacle to directly recharge their
nickel-metal hydride batteries.
DO NOT use a modied Sinusoidal Waveform AC voltage with the below two types of
equipment or appliances that are susceptible to damage:
•Small, battery-operated appliances such as ashlights, cordless razors, and
toothbrushes that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
•Certain battery chargers for battery packs that are used in some cordless hand
tools. Chargers for these tools have a warning label stating that dangerous voltages
are present at the battery terminals.
