*To change heads
press tab and pull
Switch your powermonkey explorer (1)
on by holding down the black on/off button for 3
seconds. Select the appropriate tip (5) for your
digital device and attach to the powermonkey
explorer output cable (or use standard Nokia
tip already attached to the output cable). The
LCD screen will turn itself off after a device is
attached, to re-illuminate the blue LCD screen,
press the on/off button briey. The power bars
displayed on the LCD screen will decrease as
the device is charged.
When the device is fully charged, the unit
will automatically switch off to protect your
device from overcharging. To switch off your
powermonkey explorer at any time, hold down
the black on/off button for 3 seconds.
The solarmonkey solar panel (2) can also be
used to charge many of your digital devices
in the same way.
Place the solar panel (2) in a sunny area and,
using the attached output cable, plug it into the
input socket on the powermonkey explorer (1).
The LED on the powermonkey explorer unit will
turn red to indicate it is being charged – when the
LED turns green, the unit is fully charged. The
solar panel‘s green LED light indicates that it has
solar power - the brightness will alter depending
on the strength of the sun.
Charging time varies by the amount of direct
sunlight that reaches the solar panel. It is
estimated that 8 hours of sunlight will charge the
powermonkey explorer by one third, equivalent to
one full mobile charge.
Select the correct interchangeable head for the
AC mains plug, depending on which country you
are in. Plug the International AC Mains Charger
(3) into the wall socket and plug the AC mains
lead into the powermonkey explorer (1) input
socket. The powermonkey explorer’s red LED
indicates it is being charged – when the LED
turns green, the unit is fully charged.
To fully charge the powermonkey explorer from
the AC mains takes 5-6 hours.
Output voltage: 5V 600mA
Take the retractable USB cable (4) and pull both
ends apart together, so as not to snag the cables.
Plug the USB tip into the USB port of a laptop
or other USB socket and connect other end into
the powermonkey explorer (1) input socket. The
red LED on the powermonkey explorer indicates
the unit it is being charged – when the LED turns
green, the unit is fully charged.
To fully charge the powermonkey explorer using
the USB cable takes 6-8 hours.
