3. Setup
Before initial use, fully charge the power bank using a wall adapter to ensure optimal performance.
- Unpack: Remove the power bank and any included cables from the packaging.
- Initial Charge: Connect the power bank to a wall charger using a compatible USB cable (Type-C, Micro USB, or Lightning input). The power indicators will illuminate to show charging status. A full charge is indicated when all four LED indicators are solid.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Charging the Power Bank
The power bank can be charged via a wall adapter or solar energy.
- Adapter Charging (Recommended for fastest charge): Connect the power bank to a 5V/2A wall adapter using a Type-C, Micro USB, or Lightning cable. The LED indicators will show charging progress.
- Solar Charging: Place the power bank in direct sunlight. The solar panel will convert sunlight into electrical energy to charge the internal battery. Solar charging is slower and primarily intended for emergency power maintenance or topping up the battery in outdoor environments. A dedicated solar charging indicator will light up when solar charging is active.

4.2 Charging External Devices
The power bank supports wired and wireless charging for various devices.
- Wired Charging: Connect your device to one of the USB-A output ports or the Type-C input/output port using a compatible charging cable. The power bank will automatically begin charging your device.
- Wireless Charging: Place your Qi-compatible device on the wireless charging pad area of the power bank. Ensure the device is centered for optimal charging. The wireless charging indicator will illuminate when a device is being charged wirelessly.

- Storage: Store the power bank in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Charging Cycle: For optimal battery health, fully charge and discharge the power bank at least once every three months if not in regular use.
- Avoid Impacts: Despite its shock-resistant design, avoid dropping or subjecting the power bank to severe impacts.
6. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Power bank not charging | Charging cable or adapter faulty; power bank fully charged; poor connection. | Try a different cable and adapter. Ensure connections are secure. Check LED indicators for full charge status. |
| Device not charging from power bank | Power bank battery low; device cable faulty; device not Qi-compatible (for wireless); poor wireless alignment. | Recharge the power bank. Try a different device cable. Ensure device supports Qi wireless charging and is centered on the pad. |
| Solar charging is slow or not working | Insufficient direct sunlight; solar panel obstructed or dirty. | Place the power bank in direct, unobstructed sunlight. Clean the solar panel surface. Note that solar charging is supplementary and slower than adapter charging. |
| Flashlight not turning on | Power button not pressed correctly; power bank battery low. | Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. Recharge the power bank. |
