Figure 3-4Charging with the Solar Panel

To recharge with a solar panel:

1.Connect the solar panel to the unit.

2.Place the solar panel in direct sunlight.

It takes about 45 hours in direct sunlight to recharge the Powerpack Solar 400 from the 5 W solar panel.

The indicator light located on the solar panel flashes intermittently when the panel receives power from sunlight. The control panel digital display and AC charging indicator lights do not come on when charging with the solar panel.

Note: You have the option to detach the solar panel from the unit or you can leave the solar panel attached while choosing a location and repositioning the unit to face direct sunlight.

CAUTION: Risk of Equipment Damage

Use only the supplied solar panel. Connecting an after-market or third-party solar panel to use for recharging the internal battery may damage the unit and void the warranty.
