INSTALLATION:
Place the solar panel outdoor in the sunlight. Adjust the solar panel position at a 30-degree angle.
Connect the solar panel to the charging unit.
Insert the safety fuse in it’s place.
If the sunlight is enough, the charging indicator will light to show you the battery is charging.
If the battery voltage is over 14V the charge level indicator will blink to let you know the battery is full.
Note: if this is the first time you use the system or you didn’t use it for a long time we recommend charging the battery for at least 10 hours before use.
Turn on the charging unit.
Connect the included LED lamps or other electronics you want to power.
Turn on the FM radio or MP3 player if you want to listen to music.
Turn off the charging unit if you don’t need it anymore, to avoid discharging the battery.
When offering the panels and extension cords, we have taken full consideration of the usage for customers, please do not randomly lengthen or change them.
If you do have a reason to adjust or change them, please make sure that the dimension of the solar panel cable is no less than 0.5mmp, and the dimension of the cable for LED lamps cables no less than 0.3mmp.
What’s more, all the lead wires have negative and positive polarity, please be sure to notice the distinction.

NOTES:
The loading unit can be used only indoors. Do not expose it to direct sunlight for a prolonged period of time and keep it away from moisture. If the unit gets wet accidentally turn it off and let it dry before you use it again. If you don’t use the system frequently you should not leave it switched on and fully charge the battery at least once a month to not diminish its lifespan.
The battery capacity is 7Ah. To keep the battery life the load of the system must not exceed 1/5 of the battery capacity. Please avoid keeping the battery under voltage for a long time otherwise, the capacity and lifespan of the battery will be affected.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
| Problem: | Cause and solution |
| Battery charging indicator is off | Check if the solar panel is placed in direct sunlight or if the battery is full |
| The output is inactive and the load indicator is off | Check cable connections Check if the battery is low (battery level indicator is under 20%) |
| The output is inactive and the battery level indicator is flashing | Check if the charging unit is not OFF The battery is discharged, please wait for it to charge before using the system |
| The output is inactive and the load indicator is flashing | The system is overloaded: turn off the system, remove consumers then wait 2 min before reuse |
| The output is inactive and all indicators are off | The system is OFF or the battery is completely discharged |
| FM radio does not work | Check if the radio/MP3 player function in ON and that you selected the correct mode. Search all radio stations then save them |
| The charging unit does not respond to commands | Check the safety fuse if it is not missing or burnt |
