5. Initial Setup and Charging the Power Bank

It is highly recommended to fully charge the power bank via a wall charger before its first use to ensure optimal battery performance.

5.1. Wall Charging (Recommended)

1. Open the protective cover on the side of the power bank to reveal the charging ports.
2. Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the Type-C input port on the power bank. Alternatively, use a Micro USB cable with the Micro USB input port.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a compatible USB wall adapter (not included) and plug it into a power outlet.
4. The battery indicator lights will illuminate to show the charging progress. All lights will be solid when fully charged.
5. Charging time via wall adapter is approximately 9-12 hours.

5.2. Solar Charging (Emergency Use Only)

The solar panel is designed for emergency charging and maintaining battery levels, not as a primary charging source. Direct sunlight is required for effective solar charging.

1. Place the power bank with the solar panel facing direct sunlight.
2. The solar charging indicator light will illuminate when charging via solar power.
3. For best results, ensure no obstructions block the solar panel from sunlight.

5.3. Hand-Crank Charging (Emergency Use Only)

The hand-crank feature provides an alternative emergency charging method when no other power sources are available.

1. Locate the foldable hand crank on the side of the power bank.
2. Unfold the crank handle.
3. Rotate the crank clockwise at a steady pace to generate power. The battery indicator lights will show charging activity.
4. Continuous cranking is required to provide a meaningful charge.
