Operation instructions and precautions
▇ Charge the power unit before using it
The battery is intentionally set below 100% to ensure safe
transport
▇ Low power alert
When battery has only 10% left, the outline of the battery
frame will flash. You should charge the power pack at this
time.
▇ Use the original charger provided by the manufacturer
In order to ensure the safety of charging, please use the
original charger provided by FNXSolar, or use solar panels
with 36V 540Wmax.
Warning : Please pay attention the power unit when it's
charging.Please disconnect the charger and stop charging
when the power is fully charged.

How to charge the power unit
12
At this stage, we can charge the battery through the
following ways:
1. Use our power adapter to charge. When charging, we
need to plug the end of the power cord into the socket at
the end of the adapter. Connect the other end of the
adapter to the power charging port then connect the
other end of the power cable to a 110V AC source.
Electric supply
2. Charge the battery with original car charging cable
(optional):When you use the car charger(after starting the
car engine), you only need to insert the cigarette lighter plug
into the car cigar socket, and then connect the
other end of the DC output port with the powerstation. Do
not use the car charger when the car has not yet started.

13
2.Charge the battery with solar panel. connect one end of
the solar PV connection cable to the solar panel and the
other end to the power charging socket. (maximum voltage
of solar panels not more than 36V)
Warnings :
1. Only use original accessories and don't operate the
device when wet .
2. Before car charging and solar charging,Please pay
attention to the polarity of the terminals,NEVER reverse
the polarity, this may cause equipment damage.
3. When you leave the portable power supply unused
for a long period of time,the battery will run out.Make
sure to charge it every 6months.

How to use AC output
Please note the following before using it：
1.The input voltage and frequency of the appliance must be
the same as that of the FLEX-GEN 600.
2.Please ensure that the rated power of the appliance is
less than the rated power of the 600W power station,
preferably within 80% of the rated power.
* The appliances/unit will be damaged if is not within the
range of the power station
Remarks : since the consumed power of some appliances
is greater than its rated power on power-on, the overload
protection will occur and power output will turn off. For
example, the general starting current for inductive load
equipment is up to 3~8 times of its rated power. And its
starting power for energy saving lamp is up to dozens of
times of its rated power; Their starting power is much more
than the instantaneous maximum power that the power
pack can bear, so the load protection works automatically.
FLEX-GEN 600 is equipped with overload protection, short-
circuit protection, over-temperature protection, over
voltage protection,etc.

3.E1000/E1500 will stop working to protect the device once
following conditions occur.
① When external load exceed the load power limit
② AC output or load circuit
③ Internal temperature of the device is too high.
④ The voltage of the internal battery is too low.
Step 5 : Turn off the AC output switch after using it.

How to use AC output：
Step 1 : Press the AC/DC switch to see the remaining power
capacity.
Step 2 : Check the working voltage and frequency of the
load.
Step 3 : Check the load power and ensure it’s not higher
than the rated power of FLEX-GEN 600
Step 4 : Plug the load into socket of FLEX-GEN 600 and
turn on the load switch.
