Replacing the Internal Battery

Recharging From a Solar Panel

Small, unregulated 12 volt solar panels rated to produce a maximum of 2.5 amps (or 30 watts) can be used to charge Jazz PP 300 C through the Charger Input Socket.

You will need to purchase a standard 5.5 mm OD x 2.5 mm ID DC Coaxial (barrel type) connector to mate with the Charger Input Socket.

To recharge with a solar panel:

1.Connect the solar panel’s red positive (+) wire to the coaxial plug’s inner contact.

2.Connect the solar panel’s black negative (–) wire to the plug’s outer contact.

Once the connector is inserted into the Charger Input Socket and the solar panel is placed in the sun, Jazz PP 300 C charges automatically just as with the AC Charger. See “Recharging with the AC Charger” on page 27.

It takes about ten hours in direct sunlight to recharge Jazz PP 300 C from a 3 amp solar panel.
