2. Package Contents

Please verify that all items are included in your package:

  • 1 x 20W Foldable Solar Charger
  • 4 x Hooks (Carabiners)
  • 1 x Micro USB Cable
  • 1 x Instruction Manual

3. Setup

To ensure optimal performance, follow these steps for setting up your X-DRAGON Foldable Solar Charger:

  1. Unfold the Solar Panel: Carefully unfold the solar charger completely to expose all solar panels. Ensure the panels are flat and facing the sun.
  2. Position for Optimal Sunlight: Place the unfolded solar panel in direct sunlight. For best results, position the panels perpendicular to the sun's rays. The integrated kickstand system allows for easy angling to maximize sun exposure.
  3. Secure the Panel: Use the provided hooks (carabiners) to secure the solar panel to a backpack, tent, or other stable surface, especially in windy conditions.

4. Operating Instructions

The X-DRAGON 20W Foldable Solar Charger is designed for simple and efficient charging:

  1. Connect Your Device: Locate the dual USB output ports on the control unit. Connect your device's charging cable (e.g., micro USB cable provided, or your device's own USB cable) to one of the USB ports.
  2. Initiate Charging: Once connected and exposed to sufficient sunlight, the charger will automatically begin charging your device. The built-in SolarIQ Technology will detect your device's power requirements and deliver the fastest possible charge up to 2 amps per port or 3 amps overall.
  3. Monitor Charging: While the charger does not have a visible indicator for charging status, your connected device should display its charging progress.
  4. Optimal Charging Conditions: For best charging speeds, ensure the solar panels are in direct, unobstructed sunlight. Partial shade or cloudy conditions will reduce charging efficiency.

6. Maintenance

To prolong the life and efficiency of your solar charger:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the solar panels with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
  • Storage: When not in use, fold the charger and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Handling: Avoid dropping or subjecting the panel to excessive force, as this can damage the solar cells.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your X-DRAGON Solar Charger, consider the following:

  • No Charging: Ensure the solar panels are in direct, strong sunlight. Check that your device is properly connected to the USB port.
  • Slow Charging: Charging speed is highly dependent on sunlight intensity. Move the panel to a location with more direct sun, adjust its angle, or wait for clearer weather. Ensure no shadows are cast on the panels.
  • Device Compatibility: Confirm your device is a 5V USB-chargeable device.
