Setup
- Unfold the Panel: Carefully unfold the solar panel until both sections are fully extended.
- Position the Panel: Place the solar panel in a location with direct sunlight, free from shadows.
- Adjust Tilt Legs: Extend the integrated tilt legs to angle the panel towards the sun for optimal energy capture. Adjust the angle throughout the day as the sun's position changes.
- Connect to Power Station: Connect the built-in solar cables from the panel directly to the compatible input port on your Lion Energy power station (e.g., Lion Safari ME). Ensure the connection is secure.
- Verify Connection: Confirm that your power station indicates it is receiving a charge from the solar panel.

Operating Instructions
Once the solar panel is set up and connected, it will begin converting sunlight into electrical energy to charge your compatible power station. The charging efficiency depends on several factors:
- Sunlight Intensity: Direct, unobstructed sunlight yields the best results. Cloudy conditions will reduce output.
- Panel Angle: Adjusting the panel to face the sun directly maximizes energy capture.
- Temperature: Extreme heat can slightly reduce panel efficiency.
- Cleanliness: Keep the panel surface clean from dust, dirt, and debris.
Monitor your power station's display to track the charging status and input wattage. For optimal performance, ensure the panel is not shaded by trees, buildings, or other objects.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the panel.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the panel for any physical damage, such as cracks in the glass or frame, or frayed cables.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the solar panel and store it in its neoprene carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
