4. Setup

1. Unfolding the Solar Panel: Gently unfold the solar panel. The magnetic handle allows for easy and secure folding and unfolding.
2. Positioning for Optimal Sunlight: Place the solar panel in direct sunlight. The integrated sun direction indicator helps you accurately position the panel towards the sun for maximum power generation. Adjust the angle of the panel using its built-in kickstands to ensure the indicator shows optimal alignment.
3. Connecting Devices:
   • For Smartphones/Tablets (Direct Charging): Locate the USB-A and Type-C output ports on the control unit. Connect your device using a compatible USB cable. The smart IC chip will provide the optimal current for your connected device.
   • For Portable Power Stations: Use the provided 5-in-1 connection cable and the appropriate DC conversion plug from the 10-piece set. Connect the cable to the solar panel's output port and then to your portable power station's input port. Ensure a secure connection.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Power Generation: Once the panel is unfolded and positioned towards the sun, it will automatically begin generating power. The indicator light on the control unit will confirm active power generation.
2. Charging Devices: Connect your devices or portable power station as described in the Setup section. The solar panel's smart IC chip will detect the connected device and deliver the appropriate charging current.
3. Monitoring Charging: Monitor the charging status on your connected device or power station. For optimal charging, ensure the panel remains in direct sunlight and adjust its angle periodically as the sun moves.
4. Disconnecting: Disconnect devices once fully charged or when power generation is no longer required.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the ETFE coating.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the solar panel and store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The compact, foldable design makes storage convenient.
• Water Resistance: The panel section is IP67 rated, meaning it is protected against dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submerging the control unit. Ensure all ports are dry before connecting devices.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the cables and connectors for any signs of wear or damage. Do not use if any components are damaged.

7. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• No Power Output:
  • Ensure the panel is in direct sunlight and not shaded.
  • Check all cable connections to ensure they are secure.
  • Verify that the sun direction indicator shows optimal alignment.
  • Confirm the connected device or power station is compatible and functioning correctly.
• Low Power Output:
  • Adjust the panel's angle to face the sun directly.
  • Clean the panel surface to remove any dirt or dust that may be obstructing sunlight.
  • Cloudy weather or partial shading will reduce output. This is normal.
  • Ensure the ambient temperature is within the optimal operating range.
• Device Not Charging:
  • Check if the charging cable is properly connected to both the solar panel and the device.
  • Ensure the device's charging port is clean and undamaged.
  • Some devices may require a minimum power input to initiate charging. Ensure sufficient sunlight.
