Solar Panel
ThesolarpanelchargestheSurvivalLightstick’sinternalbattery.Makesurethispanelhasthebestexposuretodirectsunlight

IMPORTANT: Don’t force the hand crank. Make sure you turn from the handle only–don’t grab the entire crank. Never use
the hand crank when the Survival Lightstick is connected to a USB power source (like a computer or USB charger). This could
damage your power source.
Low-Battery Indicator
The low-battery indicator illuminates when it’s time to recharge the Survival Lightstick’s internal battery. Follow the recharging
instructions on the previous page.
NOTES: The low-battery indicator will not light up when you start recharging the battery unless the battery is low. If you do not
recharge the battery when the low-battery indicator comes on, eventually the Survival Lightstick will shut off the indicator and
power to protect the battery from discharging completely. Follow the recharging instructions on the previous page.
