INTENDED USE
The device is designed to be used as a rechargeable portable charging system for all
supported devices. The torch featured on the device also allows it to be used as an illumi-
nation device in inconvenient situations or emergencies (e.g. illuminating the keyhole on
a door, illuminating the pocket of a backpack, etc.).
UNINTENDED USE
There is no use other than those described in the paragraph titled DESCRIPTION and
INTENDED USE.
It is also absolutely prohibited:
• To use the device with non-compliant power lines.
• To use the device for applications different from those indicated.
• To modify the device (hardware and rmware)
• Exposing the device to atmospheric agents
The reuse of any unit after the device has been taken out of service releases the manu-
facturer from any liability deriving from its use.
NOTE
THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT BE HELD IN ANY CASE RESPON-
SIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM THE UNIN-
TENDED USE OF THE DEVICE. MOREOVER, ANY UNINTENDED USE
ALSO CAUSES THE TERMINATION OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Rolland S.r.l. carried out an in-depth risk analysis on the device in question during the
design phase. This analysis revealed risks that cannot be eliminated due to their nature.
These risks were then examined individually and the instructions on how to avoid them
were emphasized in this manual. It is therefore important that any user in charge of use,
and maintenance of the ELIO has previously read the manual.
NOTE
THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT BE HELD IN ANY CASE RESPONSI-
BLE FOR ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM THE UNINTEN-
DED USE OF THE DEVICE CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART
OF THE USER.

10
In particular:
• It is absolutely forbidden to make any changes to the device. Any damage to peo-
ple, animals, or things resulting from the use of the device improperly modified by an
unauthorized operator shall relieve the manufacturer of all responsibility.
• Carefully keep a copy of this manual, which is necessary for the correct and safe
use of ELIO.
• Should the external structure have sharp edges due to accidental impact such as
to make it dangerous, it is necessary to contact Rolland S.r .l.
Important:
- Do not wet the electrical connections and the electric diffuser with water or other liquids.
- The maintenance operations described in the manual must be carried out.
- Maintenance operations must be done following the instructions described in this manual.
Operations which may cause risks for the user
During start-up operations, follow the general accident prevention regulations.
In particular:
- if working on electrical parts, make sure they are not live.
Already during the design phase, solutions have been adopted aimed at making the use
of the device safe in all phases of use: transport, assembly, adjustment, use, and mainte-
nance. Nevertheless, not all possible risks for either users or the environment have been
eliminated, both for technological reasons (device reliability) and for management reasons
(excessive difculty); consequently, the residual risks present are reported in the manual.

Use procedures
Recommendations before use:
• After the first use, it is possible to charge the powerbank by exposing it to direct
sunlight. The charging process will be signalled by a green light. Charging times de-
pend on atmospheric conditions, and require direct, prolonged exposure of the power
bank to solar radiation.
• If you would like a faster charging process, it is possible to connect the power bank
to a power outlet (Time needed to fully charge the device: around 4 hours).
• Connect the device to be charged to the power bank via the power cable provided.
The charging process starts automatically. If it does not start, press the ON/OFF
button to restart the power bank. Charging speed depends mainly on the input of the
device to be charged and the efficiency of the cable used.
• Once the device is fully charged, disconnect the cable.
