4. Setup

1. Unfold the Solar Panel: Gently unfold the solar charger to expose both solar panels.
2. Position for Sunlight: Place the solar panels in direct sunlight. For optimal charging, ensure the panels are angled towards the sun to maximize exposure. Avoid shaded areas.
3. Secure the Panel: Use the included carabiners to attach the solar charger to a backpack, tent, or other suitable location to maintain optimal sun exposure and prevent movement.
4. Connect Your Device: Open the flap covering the USB output ports. Connect your device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, power bank) to either the USB-A or USB-C port using the provided cable or your device's charging cable.
5. Charging Indicator: A red indicator light will illuminate on the USB junction box when the solar panels are receiving sufficient sunlight and generating power.

5. Operating Instructions

• Ensure the solar panels are fully exposed to direct sunlight for optimal charging speed.
• The red indicator light confirms that power is being generated. If the light is off, adjust the panel's position or check for obstructions.
• You can charge two devices simultaneously, but be aware that the 10W output will be shared between the two ports, potentially reducing the charging speed for each device. For faster charging, connect one device at a time.
• For sensitive electronic devices, it is recommended to charge a power bank first and then use the power bank to charge your device. This provides a more stable power supply.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the solar panels with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Water Resistance: The solar panel itself is IPX4 water-resistant, meaning it can withstand splashes. However, the USB junction box containing the ports is NOT waterproof. Protect the junction box from rain, heavy moisture, and submersion.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the solar charger and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the charger or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this may damage the solar cells or internal components.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Charging Indicator Light:
  • Ensure the panels are in direct, unobstructed sunlight.
  • Check if the panels are clean and free of dirt or debris.
  • Verify that the ambient light is sufficient for solar charging (e.g., not too cloudy or dark).
• Slow Charging:
  • Charging speed is directly dependent on sunlight intensity. Adjust the panel's angle for maximum sun exposure.
  • Ensure only one device is connected for faster charging, as output is shared.
  • Some devices may draw more power than the 10W output can consistently provide, leading to slower charging.
• Device Not Charging:
  • Check the connection cable for damage and ensure it is securely plugged into both the solar charger and your device.
  • Try a different USB cable or device to rule out compatibility issues.
  • Ensure the solar charger is receiving adequate sunlight (red indicator light should be on).
