Charging with the solar panel
CAUTION
► Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 45°C.
This is particularly important when using the device inside a
motor vehicle.
You can charge the battery of the device with the solar panel .
Ensure that the solar panel is receiving sufficient sunlight.
As soon as there is sufficient sunlight, the solar LED lights up
orange to show that the battery is being charged. If the solar
LED does not light up, there is not enough sunlight available.
In this case, change the location of the device or place the device
in direct sunlight. Once the solar LED lights up green, the battery
is fully charged.

■ 12 │ GB│CY SLS 2200 C2
Charging with the USB cable
If there is no sunlight available, you can charge the battery of the
device with the USB cable . To do this, connect the micro-USB
plug of the charging cable to the device’s micro-USB port .
Connect the USB plug of the USB cable to a USB port on your
computer. The charging progress will be indicated by means of
the charge level LEDs .
Charge level LEDs Charge level
One LED is flashing < 25%
One LED is on, the second LED is flashing 25–49%
Two LEDs are on, the third LED is flashing 50–74%
Three LEDs are on, the fourth LED is flashing 75–99%
All LEDs are on 100%
NOTE
► Some computers deactivate the power supply to the USB
ports when they are switched off. If the solar charger’s
battery is not being charged, check to see whether your
computer is turned on.
► Alternatively, you can charge the battery of the solar charger
with an external USB power supply (not supplied).
To do this, use the USB cable supplied with the product.
You can purchase a suitable 5 V USB power adapter with
an output of at least 500mA from most electronics stores.

Three LEDs are on 75–99%
Two LEDs are on 50–74%
One LED is on 25–49%
One LED is flashing < 25%
All LEDs off 0%

■ 14 │ GB│CY SLS 2200 C2
Compatible devices
You can use the solar charger to charge end devices that require
a charging current of at least 60 mA and a maximum of 1A.
If the connected end device requires a current of less than 60 mA
or more than 1A, the solar charger will switch itself off immedi-
ately after being switched on with the ON/OFF button . In this
case, check the charger’s suitability for your end device on the
basis of the technical data of your end device.
Charging external devices
Connect the charging cable of your end device to the USB port
on the solar charger and to your end device.
♦ If charging does not start automatically, press the ON/OFF
button briefly to start the charging process.
The LED lights up for as long as the connected device
is being charged. Once your device is fully charged, the solar
charger switches off. To interrupt the charging process, you can
disconnect the end device. If your end device is not fully charged
and the LED goes out during charging, this means the solar
charger’s battery is discharged. The solar charger’s battery must
be recharged again before you can charge end devices.
Simultaneous charging of the built-in battery and a connected
device is only possible in solar operation. Simultaneous charging
of the built-in battery via the micro-USB port and a connected
device is not possible.

SLS 2200 C2
Troubleshooting
A connected device is not charging.
♦ Press the ON/OFF button briefly to start the charging process.
♦ The solar charger’s battery is empty. Charge the battery.
♦ No connection to the device. Check the connection.
♦ The solar charger can be used for end devices that require a
charging current of no more than 1A. If the connected end
device requires a current of more than 1A, the solar charger
will switch itself off immediately after being switched on with
the ON/OFF button . In this case, check the charger’s suit-
ability for your end device on the basis of the technical data
of your end device.
The solar charger’s battery is not charging via the solar
panel.
♦ Check that the solar panel is receiving sufficient sunlight.
The solar charger’s battery is not charging via the USB
cable.
♦ Connection is faulty. Check the connection.
♦ Some computers deactivate the power supply to the USB ports
when they are switched off. If the solar charger’s battery is not
being charged, check to see whether your computer is turned on.
NOTE
► If the above-mentioned solutions do not resolve the problem,
please contact Customer Service (see chapter Service).

■ 16 │ GB│CY SLS 2200 C2
Cleaning
CAUTION
Damage to the device!
► To avoid irreparable damage to the device, ensure that no
moisture can penetrate the device during cleaning.
► Do not use caustic, abrasive or solvent-based cleaning
materials. These can damage the surfaces of the device.
♦ Clean the surfaces of the device with a soft, dry cloth. For stub-
born dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent.
Storage when not in use
♦ If you do not intend to use the device for a long time, store it in
a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
♦ If the solar charger is not going to be used for some time, the
battery should be recharged at regular intervals. This helps to
preserve battery performance.
