HOW THE SOLARBOOK WORKS

The SolarBook™ uses an advanced solar panel technology that is exible, water resistant and durable. An on-board dual lithium ion battery stores electrical energy collected by the solar panel, so it can be used to recharge your portable electronic devices even at night or on a cloudy day. The SolarBook battery can also be charged from an AC outlet, ready to provide immediate power on demand. After the battery power is depleted, fold out the solar panel and let the sun charge it during the day, so you can recharge your devices anytime.

CHARGING THE SOLARBOOK FROM THE WALL CHARGER

Connect USB cable to micro-USB INPUT port (A) from the USB port on the supplied AC charger (pg. 2), and plug it into a wall outlet (100-240v). Press the Power button. All four LEDs on the Power Gauge (Fig. 1) will light up (for 10

min.) when the SolarBook’s internal battery has been fully charged (you may leave it connected to the charger overnight without risk of overcharging), and

you’re ready to connect and charge your device.

CHARGING THE SOLARBOOK FROM THE SUN

Flip open the two clamps at the front end of the SolarBook and open the lid (C). Unfold all the solar panels out to full length. Place the SolarBook in a location where all the solar panel surfaces will be exposed to as much direct sunlight as possible (D). The hang tabs on the battery cylinder of the SolarBook (E) can be used to stake it to the ground to keep it securely in place on a windy day, or hang it from a tree or your backpack with carabiners. Allow up to 4 hours (PP1085) or 6 hours (PP1060) to solar charge the internal battery from a fully discharged condition. The Power Gauge LEDs near the INPUT port will monitor the charge level (Fig. 1). All four LEDs on the Power Gauge will light up (for 10 min.) when the SolarBook’s internal battery has been fully charged, and you’re ready to connect and charge your device.

CHARGING YOUR DEVICE FROM THE SOLARBOOK

Press the power button on the INPUT end of the battery cylinder (A) to check the SolarBook’s charge status, then connect the supplied USB cable from the OUTPUT port (B) of the SolarBook to your device to recharge it. If your device uses a non-standard type of connector, use the cable that came with it to connect to the SolarBook’s OUTPUT port. Check the charge indicator on your device to determine when it’s ready to use.

STORING & TRANSPORTING THE SOLARBOOK

Fold the solar panels back up, starting at the end, with the solar side facing inward. Fasten the lid in place to help keep the panels protected from accidental damage when you are charging your device from the SolarBook’s battery, and anytime you transport the SolarBook to a new location. Cover the INPUT and OUTPUT ends of the battery cylinder with the attached caps when storing or transporting the SolarBook, to help keep dirt and debris out of the USB ports.

UNDERSTANDING THE POWERSYNC POWER GAUGE

The 4 LED charge indicators on the INPUT end of the battery cylinder (F) allow you to monitor the status of the SolarBook’s internal battery. While the battery is charging from the AC wall charger or the solar panels, the LEDs will light up in sequence to show the charge level as shown in Fig. 1. The LED indicating the current battery level will blink rapidly while charging. When charging is complete, all LEDs remain on for 10 min., then shut o until the Power button is pressed.

* Two devices may be charged simultaneously. They will not charge any slower than if only one device was connected, however the SolarBook’s internal battery charge will be depleted more rapidly. ** Rechargeable batteries in electronic devices charge at dierent rates, depending on many factors including temperature, age and circuit design. Bushnell provides examples of charges per device, based on typical product use and are not intended to be specic to any single device.
