Frequently Asked Questions
What will my NOMAD 7charge?
The NOMAD 7 will directlycharge most USB and and 12V devices (not tablets).
Can I use
the USB and 12V ports to charge devices simultaneously?
Yes. The NOMAD 7 will split the incoming solar power between the two ports to charge devices simultaneously.
Some devices may not be compatible.
Why am I
having trouble charging my smart phone?
Smart phones require very specific, consistent input.
If your NOMAD 7 is angled perfectly, there shouldn't be an issue.
However, most charging issues
with a smart phone are made simpler by incorporating a GOAL ZERO power pack as an
intermediary (such as GUIDE 10 PLUS).
Is
the NOMAD 7 waterproof?
The NOMAD 7 is weather-resistant and will not be harmed if exposed to rain or snow.
What kind of solar cells do you use in the NOMAD 7?
We use state-of-the-art monocrystalline technology in the NOMAD 7 because it delivers more power per square inch
than any other solar technology
on the market.
Can
the NOMAD 7 be chained with other devices?
No.

USAGE TIPS FOR NOMAD 7M:
1. It is often helpful to let the Nomad 7M warm up, opened to the sun for a moment , prior
to connecting any electronics.
2. The performance of this panel is highly dependent upon weather and placement.
Please observe placement
tips given in the user-guide.
3. Excellent results are achieved when used outside, in direct sunlight.
4. Usage indoors, in cloudy, or overcast conditions, may work , but will not yield opt imal
results. Any o
bstructions to direct sunlight-- even faint shadows -- may also
significantly reduce
power output .
5. iPhone and ot her smart devices: these devices will charge with the Nomad 7M , but
special attention is sometimes needed. If power is disrupted , the device may cancel
the charging session. Restore by re-plugging-in the device.
6. Ke ep panels wiped clean of grit and grime.
7. Many ele ctronic devices will overheat in direct sunlight. While charging, place them
in shade
or behind the Nomad 7M, to avoid direct sun exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What batteries can be used?
• Any AA or AAA** NiMH batteries can be used and recharged.
•
We do not recommend other types of batteries.
• 4 same-sized batteries MUST
be charged at once, but not all batteries need to be empty.
How do I charge?
• From Solar: Use GOAL ZERO Nomad 3.5 or Nomad 7 with solar charge cable for fast charging.
• From USB: Use any USB power source, such
as a computer or any GOAL ZERO power pack.
Is it waterproof?
No, but it is weather-resistant. Care should be taken to shield it from direct sunlight
and the elements. Unexpected rain storms probably won't harm it.
How is it protected?
Usage is plug-and-play. The built-in battery management system prevents over-charging and
over-discharging
of batteries. The USB output will only supply the amount of power needed.
