Instructions for use
Power appliances:
1. Simply connect the appliance’s power plug into the
corresponding socket: A, B, C or D.
2. Press the on/off switch. The LED indicator should
illuminate to show the power is supplied to the
socket.
3. Press the USB switch ON when charging 5V DC
appliances via the USB port. The USB (GREEN)
indicator light will illuminate.
4. Insert Anderson style plug from the appliance
directly into the Anderson style plug socket on
the side of the Power Pack. The digital display
will show the VOLTAGE (V) of the Power Pack. The
CURRENT (A) amperage display will be zero (00.0).
Overload protection:
12V DC output:
When an overload of 15 Amp power draw is detected
on a single DC output socket, the circuit breaker will
automatically turn off the power to the socket to
protect the Power Pack. Switch OFF the DC output
socket and disconnect the appliance from the Power
Pack. Press the circuit breaker reset button to
resume the power supply. Reconnect the appliance
and switch ON the DC output socket.
When an overload of 16 Amp combined power draw
is detected from both DC output sockets, both circuit
breakers will automatically turn off the power to
the sockets to protect the Power Pack. Switch OFF
one of the DC output sockets and disconnect that
appliance. Press both circuit breaker reset buttons
to resume the power supply and reconnect one of
the appliances only. Switch ON the DC output socket.
5V DC USB port:
If a power overload is detected while charging
a 5V DC appliance, the USB power supply will
automatically reset within 2 minutes after the
appliance has been disconnected from the
USB port.

Digital display:
When the Power Pack is in use with an appliance
connected, press the DISPLAY SWITCH and the
digital display will show the VOLTAGE (V) of the
Power Pack and the CURRENT (A) amperage used
by the appliance.
When you press the DISPLAY SWITCH with no
appliances connected, the digital display will show
the VOLTAGE (V) of the Power Pack and zero (00.0)
CURRENT (A) amperage.
When charging with the AC adaptor, the digital
display will show the VOLTAGE (V) and the CURRENT
(A) that the Power Pack is receiving.
When charging with a solar panel via the Anderson
style plug socket, the digital display will show the
VOLTAGE (V) only that the Power Pack is receiving.
The CURRENT (A) display will be zero (00.0).
If the Power Pack is connected with an appliance
and charged at the same time, the digital display
will show the VOLTAGE (V) and CURRENT (A) that the
Power Pack is receiving.
RESET switch:
To restore power to the digital display screen or
the on/off switches, press the RESET switch
before recharging.
Note: All appliances and any charging adaptor
(or solar panel) must be disconnected from the
Power Pack for the RESET switch to operate.
The Power Pack will beep ‘twice’ to confirm power
has been restored. The Power Pack can now be
recharged.
Low Voltage Warning:
The Power Pack is equipped with a Low Voltage (low
battery capacity) Warning system that activates
automatically when the Power Pack voltage
decreases to a low voltage level.

WHEN THE POWER PACK IS IN USE and the voltage
decreases to 10.5V, the unit will automatically
switch OFF and the Low Voltage Warning indicator
(RED) will commence flashing with an audible single
beep every 5 seconds for 10 minutes and then
remain illuminated.
WHEN THE POWER PACK IS STORED AND
NOT IN USE and the voltage decreases to 11.5V
a single beep will continue every 10 minutes as
a first alert warning to charge the Power Pack.
If the Power Pack is not recharged and the voltage
continues to decrease to 10.5V, the unit will
automatically switch OFF and the Low Voltage
Warning indicator (RED) will commence flashing with
a single beep every 5 seconds for 10 minutes.
The Low Voltage Warning indicator (RED) will then
remain illuminated and the audible beep will stop.
IMPORTANT: THE POWER PACK MUST
NOW BE RECHARGED - FULLY RECHARGE EVERY 3
MONTHS.
To restore power to the digital display screen or
the on/off switches, press the RESET switch
before recharging.
Note: All appliances and any charging adaptor
(or solar panel) must be disconnected from the
Power Pack for the RESET switch to operate.
IMPORTANT: STORE FULLY CHARGED
to maximise performance and battery life of
the Power Pack.
Charging the Power Pack:
1) Using the 240V AC charging adaptor (included);
Insert the 5.5mm Jack Plug into the ‘Charge Input’
socket (7) on the front of the Power Pack and other
lead to mains 240V AC. The ‘Charging’ LED (10)
indicator will illuminate (GREEN) once the power is
turned on indicating that charging has commenced.
The fully charged indicator (11) will illuminate
(YELLOW) once the Power Pack is fully recharged.
Estimated charge time using the 204V AV adaptor is
approximately 8-10 hrs.
2) Using the 12V DC charging lead (included);
Insert the 50A Anderson style plug into the ‘Charge
Input’ socket (8) on the side of the Power Pack.
Note: The ‘Charging’ LED (10) indicator and the ‘Fully
Charged’ LED (11) indicator WILL NOT illuminate
when the Power Pack is being charged by the 12V DC
charging lead.
Press the ‘DISPLAY SWITCH’ (13) to check the Power
Pack voltage capacity on the digital display (1).

3) Using a Solar Panel Kit (not included):
IMPORTANT:
A Solar Charger/Regulator MUST be used in between
the Solar Panel and Power Pack to control the
voltage and current input. Failure to do so, will result
in catastrophic failure of the Power Pack, causing
potential explosion and or severe personal injury.
Insert a 50A Anderson style plug into the ‘Charge
Input’ socket (8) on the side of the Power Pack.
Note: The ‘Charging’ LED (10) indicator and the ‘Fully
Charged’ LED (11) indicator WILL NOT illuminate
when the Power Pack is being charged by a Solar
Panel Kit.
Press the ‘DISPLAY SWITCH’ (13) to check the Power
Pack voltage capacity on the digital display (1).
Refer to the Solar Charger/Regulator LED indicators
or LCD readout for charging status.
IMPORTANT: When using appliances with high
current draw i.e. portable fridge, it is recommended
to use a solar panel in conjunction with the Power
Pack. The solar panel MUST be equipped with a
regulator/charge controller.
Maintenance
• Check the Power Pack voltage capacity regularly
(minimum once a month) and charge the Power
Pack as required.
• When the Low Voltages Warning occurs, fully
charge the Power Pack immediately before use.
