Setup

Initial Charging

Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the power bank via a wall adapter using the included USB-C cable. This ensures the internal battery is at its optimal capacity.

1. Connect the included USB-C charging cable to the USB-C port on the power bank.
2. Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to a compatible USB wall adapter (not included).
3. The LED indicators will illuminate to show the charging progress. All LEDs will be solid when fully charged.

Operating Instructions

Charging the Power Bank

• Wall Charging (Recommended): For the fastest and most efficient charge, use the USB-C port with a wall adapter. A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours with a 20W PD adapter.
• Solar Charging (Emergency Use): The integrated solar panel is designed for emergency power replenishment and trickle charging. It is not intended as a primary charging method due to its slower speed. For optimal solar charging, place the power bank in direct sunlight. The LED indicators will show charging activity.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to your device.
3. The power bank will automatically begin charging your device. If not, press the power button once.
4. The LED indicators will show the remaining battery level of the power bank.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the power bank. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the power bank in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, ensure the battery is charged to about 50-75% to prolong its lifespan.
• Water Resistance: The power bank is IPX5 water-resistant, meaning it can withstand splashes and light rain. Do not submerge it in water or expose it to heavy downpours. Ensure port covers are securely closed when not in use.
• Avoid Drops: While durable, excessive drops or impacts can damage the internal components.

Troubleshooting

Power Bank Not Charging:

• Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the power bank and the wall adapter.
• Verify that the wall adapter is functioning correctly and plugged into a live power outlet.
• Try using a different USB-C cable or wall adapter.

Devices Not Charging from Power Bank:

• Check if the power bank has sufficient charge (indicated by the LED lights).
• Ensure the charging cable is properly connected to both the power bank and your device.
• Try pressing the power button on the power bank once to initiate charging.
• Test with a different charging cable or device to rule out cable or device issues.

Slow Solar Charging:

• Solar charging is designed for emergency and supplemental power, not as a primary charging method. It is significantly slower than wall charging.
• Ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct, unobstructed sunlight. Cloudy conditions or indirect light will drastically reduce charging efficiency.
• Keep the solar panel clean from dust and debris.

Flashlight Not Working:

• Ensure the power bank has sufficient battery charge.
• Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to activate the flashlight.
