Safety Instrucons
!
WARNING:
Failure to follow these safety instrucons could result in re, electrical
shock, release of harmful vapors, personal injury and other damages. Only
manufacturer authorized personnel can open/repair the PowerPad. The
warranty will be voided if these instrucons are not followed.
• Do not dissemble, open, abuse, drop, crush, bend, deform or puncture the PowerPad.
• Do not change the factory sengs of the PowerPad.
• Do not charge the PowerPad from DC input and AC input simultaneously.
• Do not store the PowerPad for more than 30 days. Charge or use the PowerPad at least once
within a 30 day period.
• Maintain the temperature range between 5°C (41°F) to 45°C (113°F) during operaon and 0°C
(32°F) to 35°C (95°F) during storage.
• Do not short-circuit the PowerPad. Charging the PowerPad incorrectly or bringing metal objects
close to the PowerPad can result into short-circuit.
• Do not insert any foreign object inside the ports.
• Avoid the PowerPad from excessive shock or vibraon.
• Do not expose the PowerPad to re, water or any liquid.
• Keep the PowerPad away from children.
• Do not use the PowerPad for electronic devices other than for its intended use.
!
CAUTION:
Lithium ion baeries contain electrolyte, which is a ammable material in
the form of liquid or vapor. Electrolyte may ignite, explode or release harmful
vapors. In case any of these events occur, evacuate the area immediately.
If contact with electrolyte occurs, immediately ush the area with water
thoroughly unl no evidence of the uid remains and seek medical aenon.
If you inhaled the vapor, seek medical aenon immediately.

• When the PowerPad is charged, the charging indicator LED will have a steady green light and
the baery level indicator LEDs will blink sequenally starng from the red light according to the
baery level.
• When the PowerPad is in use, the baery level indicator LEDs will have a steady light according
to the baery level.
!
WARNING:
When the PowerPad is overcharged, all the baery level indicator LEDs
will blink 2 mes. If this happens, the PowerPad cannot be used. Contact
customer service.
Alarm
• When the PowerPad is in use and the baery level is close to 0%, the alarm beep 3 mes
with 3 second intervals for 100 seconds. Then it will make a steady beep for 60 seconds. The
PowerPad will shut down automacally aer the steady beep ends.

PowerPad can be charged either from AC or DC power source according to the specicaons
below.
PowerPad AC Input Specicaons
Frequency 50/60 Hz, single phase
AC Input Voltage 110 - 230V
PowerPad DC Input Specicaons
DC Input Voltage 12 - 18 V
!
WARNING:
Do not charge the PowerPad from the AC and the DC input simultaneously.
Only charge the PowerPad from one charging source.
1: Plug-in the AC input connector or DC input connector to the charging ports
Open the lid of the AC or DC input port and be certain that there are no foreign objects inside the
port. Plug-in the AC input connector to the AC input port or plug-in the DC input connector to the
DC input port. The numbers on the connectors must be connected to the same numbers on the
input ports. Check that the plug is inserted completely ght and not loose.

2: Check if the charging indicator lamp is green
When the input connector is inserted into the input port, the PowerPad will turn on automacally.
Check if the charging indicator light is green. If the light does not turn on, be sure that the
specicaons of the AC or DC input are the same specicaons with the PowerPad.

• When the 1st PowerPad that is connected to the electronic device has low baery level, the 2nd
PowerPad will provide power to the electronic device and charge the 1st PowerPad.
• When the 2nd PowerPad has a low baery level, the 1st PowerPad that is connected to the
electronic device will provide power to the electronic device.
!
IMPORTANT:
In order to link 2 PowerPads, prepare a connector that is compable with the
DC output connector on one side and the DC input connector on the other
side. (See What to Prepare Secon on Page 6)
!
WARNING:
Do not link the PowerPad and use it to provide power for another electronic
device simultaneously.

Operang Temperature
The operang temperature of the PowerPad is between 5°C (41°F) to 45°C (113°F). However, to
extend the life of the baery, it is recommended to maintain the temperature range between 10°C
(50°F) to 35°C (95°F).
!
WARNING:
The PowerPad will stop operang when it’s exposed to temperature below
5°C (41°F) and above 45°C (113°F). However, the PowerPad can resume
operaon once it’s brought back to its operang temperature range, between
5°C (41°F) to 45°C (113°F).
Storage
Store the baery in its original packaging. Do not store the PowerPad for more than 30 days.
Charge or use the PowerPad at least once within a 30 day period. Always store the baery in a cool
and dry place between 15°C (59°F) to 35°C (95°F). If the PowerPad is stored for 30 days, make sure
the PowerPad is turned OFF and has at least 60% of capacity.
!
WARNING:
When the PowerPad is heated or exposed to temperature above 45°C (113°F)
while it is stored, it may lead to heat, smoke, re or explosion.
Maintenance
Although lithium ion baeries require no maintenance, it is recommended to periodically clean the
PowerPad. Before you clean your PowerPad, rst put the PowerPad on a stable surface and turn it
o. Be sure to unplug all the connectors from the PowerPad. Wait for the PowerPad to cool down.
Then use a dry cloth to remove the dirt and debris from the PowerPad.
!
WARNING:
Do not open the PowerPad. Do not use any cleaning solvents, soap, water or
any liquid to clean the PowerPad.

Transportaon
Transporng rechargeable lithium ion baeries are in most cases, limited or prohibited without
obtaining permits and following regulaons. Check all applicable local, naonal, and internaonal
regulaons before transporng the lithium ion baery.
As of January 2013, lithium ion baeries are required to be compliant with IATA (Internaonal Air
Transport) regulaons for air shipment. Full informaon of the IATA regulaon can be found at:
hp://www.iata.org/lithiumbaeries
Disposal
Many countries prohibit the disposal of waste electronic equipment. Lithium ion baeries are
subject to disposal and recycling regulaons that vary by region. Check your local regulaons
before disposing PowerPad.
!
IMPORTANT:
Before disposing or recycling the PowerPad, make sure it is turned o and
fully discharged.
