A built-in Battery Protection Circuit is included and audible beeps and visual cues on the LCD
Display will alert any over voltage, low voltage, or over heating conditions.
CHARGING THE POWER CENTER
120V Charging:
1. Plug the included 120V AC adapter into an electrical wall outlet
2. Plug the other end of the adapter into the DC IN #1 PORT of the unit
3. The BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR will blink with the available battery capacity on the LCD
DISPLAY while charging.
12V Charging:
1. Plug the included 12V DC adapter into a vehicle power recepticle
2. Plug the other end of the adapter into the DC IN #2 PORT of the unit
3. The BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR will blink with the available battery capacity on the LCD
DISPLAY while charging.
Dynamo Hand Crank Charging:
1. Open the HAND CRANK arm and rotate clockwise at approximately 80-120 cycles/minute.
CAUTION: Turning at speeds greater than 120 cycles/minute may cause the unit to overheat.
2. The BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR will blink with the available battery capacity on the LCD
DISPLAY while charging. Charging times will vary depending on crank speed and existing
battery level.
3. Close the HAND CRANK.
Solar Charging (solar panel not included):
