How to Use the χeMilo
The χeMilo has been designed to help simplify your life. The
χeMilo will charge any small electronic device that accepts
5V DC (USB standard) – even iPad and other tablet devices!
You no longer need to carry multiple power supplies for your
devices. Plus, the χeMilo has a built in battery to provide
power to compatible devices on the go.
Connecting to Power
IMPORTANT: Conrm compatibility of χeMilo power inputs
and outputs with external device(s) before making any
external connection(s) (see specications).
To connect the χeMilo to a power source:
Place it in direct sunlight.
Plug it into an AC outlet.
Connect the χeMilo power
input to an external power
source such as a computer or
car charger with a USB cable.
Or, connect to any combination of A, B, or C !
Special Note: If you connect the χeMilo to a car charger that
is not iPod/iPhone‑compatible, the CHARGE/SYNC output on
the χeMilo will not be iPod/iPhone‑compatible. We recom‑
mend Revolve’s χePico charger to maximize compatibility.
Charging External Devices
IMPORTANT: Install and fully charge the xeSuperPack
battery prior to use.
To charge external device(s), connect up to two compatible
devices to the χeMilo’s USB power output(s) using USB
cable(s).
Note: Some devices require a proprietary connector to connect
to a power source. Since USB adapters are widely available to
accommodate such connectors, we have not included adapters with
the χeMilo to eliminate the potential waste that could result from
including adapters that you may not use or need.
Note: Approximately 15 hours of
direct sunlight are needed to fully
recharge the χeMilo. Exposing the
χeMilo to temperatures above 104°F
(49°C) may cause damage that is not
covered by the limited warranty.

Device Compatibility
Both χeMilo outputs have been designed to be compatible
with a wide variety of devices that accept 5V DC power (USB
standard), with the following limitations:
Checking Charging Status
When the χeMilo is generating Light
Assisted Power®, the green LED on the
face of the χeMilo will illuminate. When
the χeSuperPacks is storing energy from
any sources, the charge status LED will
illuminate red. When the χeSuperPack is
completely charged, the charge status
LED will illuminate green.
Checking Backup Battery Status
To determine the amount of energy stored in the χeSuperPack,
press the Battery Status Button.
This output is compatible with iPad and most smart devices, but is
only compatible with certain iPod models when the χeMilo is also
connected to a computer or external iPod charger, like the χePico.

You Are Making a Dierence
Reducing Your Carbon Footprint
When using a traditional AC charger to recharge your
electronic devices, you connect to an AC outlet and draw
power from the power grid. Grid power is typically generated
using carbon emitting fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas.
As a result, when you use regular AC chargers to recharge your
devices, you are contributing to environmental pollution.
The χeMilo’s exclusive Light Assisted Power® generates and
stores clean, green power to recharge your compatible
electronic devices. By making the choice to place your χeMilo
in the sunlight and recharge with Light Assisted Power®,
you reduce your need for grid power by using energy from
the sun to trickle charge your batteries. With Light Assisted
Power®, the χeMilo empowers you to make a positive change.
Eliminating Waste
The χeMilo’s packaging has been made from 100% post
consumer recycled material. We encourage you to keep these
materials out of the landll by separating and recycling them,
so that they may be used again.
Unlike proprietary AC chargers that become obsolete
and battery backups that wear out, the χeMilo has been
designed to be compatible with a wide range of devices
and deliver many years of use. The χeMilo uses USB standard
power specications that have been widely adopted by the
electronics industry. Organizations like the International
Telecommunications Union are implementing initiatives
designed to expand the
adoption of these power
standards to make them
truly universal. As a result,
your χeMilo will provide
power to a wide range of
products both now and in
the future.
After hundreds of charge
cycles, dead batteries
won’t turn your χeMilo into
waste – the χeSuperPack
is easily replaced. The χeSuperPack battery uses advanced
lithium ion technology to provide maximum service life.
However, no battery will last forever. When you are ready
for a new batteries, contact Revolve Electronics Support
either at www.revolveUSA.com or by calling [phone]
to purchase replacements and participate in our hassle-free
battery recycling program.

Troubleshooting Guide
Step 1: Verify Compatibility – Before connecting any device
to the χeMilo, check the power requirements for the device.
The device must match the input or output requirements of
the χeMilo. For example, the χeMilo’s output is 5V DC and
the external device(s)’ current demand must not exceed 2.1A
(peak). If the voltage does not match (i.e. 6V, 9V, etc.), or the
current draw exceeds 2.1A (i.e. 2200mA, 2.2A, etc.), do not
connect it to the χeMilo.
Step 2: Check the Cable – Unplug, then reconnect the cable.
Revolve cables are high-quality and designed to meet the
χeMilo’s requirements. Some cables do not connect all lead
points and cables can easily get damaged or short out. If
problem persists, replace cable with a new cable and retest.
Step 3: Check Battery Status Indicator – If your compatible
device is not charging from the χeMilo and you have replaced
the cable, check the χeMilo’s battery status by pressing the
battery status indicator button next to the USB outputs on
your χeMilo. If the green light does not illuminate, connect the
χeMilo to a power source and allow the χeMilo to recharge.
Note: Your χeMilo has built in battery protection circuitry that
will automatically turn o your battery when the charge level
is too low. To recover, simply connect your χeMilo to a power
source and allow 4‑6 hours for it to fully recharge.
