Charging The Solar Charger

Before the solar charger is used for the rst time, the unit must be
charged via a computer USB port or similar for at least 10 hours.
1. Connect the external charging source to the solar charger’s input
(3) using the supplied cable.
2. The blue LED indicates the battery is charging.
3. When the Blue LED goes out, the battery is fully charged.
After the rst charge you can then use the sun to charge the built in
battery. Point the solar panel directly at sunlight to start charging.
The blue LED will then be shown on the status indicator.
The charger requires at least 400 LUX of sunlight to charge. This is the
equivalent of dawn/dusk on a day with good weather. In ideal
conditions, with the solar cell directed towards strong sunlight,
the battery will take at least 20 hours to charge.
Please Note: The product is intended to provide instant power to
a drained or low on power digital device. It is ideal for
situations where a conventional charger or the mains socket
is not available. The solar charger charges compatible digital
devices. Despite that, it does not replace conventional
chargers.
