CHARGE BEFORE USE

Use the built-in cable to charge up Venture
30 from a live USB source. A new Venture
30 comes in a protective mode to prevent
self-discharge, potentially caused by long
periods of inactivity, like shipping.

The Venture 30 will not charge your gear
until it is plugged into a live USB source.

1. Unplug the USB end of the cable and
plug it into a live USB port.

2. Know it’s charging when blue indicator
lights on the top illuminate and pulse.
Each blue indicator light represents
20% battery capacity. Blue indicator

lights will flash according to how quickly
Venture 30 is charging. A slow flash

indicates a slow charge, while quicker
flashing indicates faster charging.

3. Venture 30 is full and ready to go when
all lights are pulsing together.

Venture 30 allows for pass-through power
so you can charge your gear and Venture 30
at the same time. When Venture 30’s battery
is dead, the first blue indicator light will flash
when the Battery button is pushed.

SMART CHARGE SEQUENCE

Venture 30’s advanced smart charging
feature allows you to optimize and adapt its
USB outputs to charge your gear as fast as
possible. This sequence runs independently
for both USB ports – meaning you can set
different charging profiles for each port.
Fastest profiles will be applied and saved
until reset or the sequence is run again.

1. With your gear plugged into Venture 30’s
USB port, press and hold the Battery
button for approximately 5 seconds to
activate the smart charge sequence.

2. The blue indicator lights will begin
to flash as different profiles are
automatically tested with your gear.

3. When the lights finish flashing, the
fastest profile has been selected.

Battery Button

HOW IT WORKS: You might have noticed if you plug
your device into a charger claiming a high output your
device still charges slowly. How quickly your device
charges comes down to communication between the
charger and what you plug in. Every device has its own
preference when it comes to charging, the challenge
is identifying the language used by the manufacturer
to decode that preference. Venture 30’s smart
charging feature acts as a translator, identifying your
device’s language, decoding and applying the fastest
charging profile possible, without overcharging or
overheating. This feature makes Venture 30 one of
the most compatible chargers on the market.

We recommend running the smart charge sequence
anytime you experience slow charge times or when
plugging in new gear.

Blue Indicator Lights

2. If your device charges from micro USB,
use the built-in cable.

3. The blue indicator lights will flash

according to how quickly your gear is
charging. A slow flash indicates a slow

charge, while quicker flashing indicates
faster charging. If you’re experiencing
slow charge times, run the smart charge
sequence (see next section) and ensure
Venture 30 is fully charged.

FLASHLIGHT

Venture 30 comes with a built-in 65 lumen
flashlight with three settings:

high, low, and strobe.
TURN ON/OFF

Press the Flashlight button to turn on the
65 lumen flashlight.

Flashlight

FLASHLIGHT SETTINGS

1. Press and hold the Flashlight button for
approximately 5 seconds – all the lights
will flash once indicating you’ve entered
flashlight selection mode.

2. With the Flashlight button still held
down, press the Battery button to cycle
through 5 light modes.

Whichever mode you are in when you release

the Flashlight button will become the default
mode. Avoid looking into the light when you

turn it on – it’s pretty dang bright.

RUGGED DESIGN

Venture 30 comes equipped with an IPX6 rating. Spray it down, take it to the beach, leave
it in the rain – and never worry about rubber plugs. It’s engineered to get out, stay out and
handle whatever Mother Nature can throw your way – even a quick drop in a puddle.

Do not submerge Venture 30.

CHARGER AVANT PREMIÈRE UTILISATION

Utilisez le câble intégré pour charger votre
Venture 30 à partir d’un port USB d’alimentation.
Un Venture 30 neuf est vendu dans un mode
de protection pour empêcher une décharge
automatique, potentiellement causée par une
longue période d’inactivité, comme le temps de
sa livraison.

Venture 30 ne pourra recharger vos appareils
qu’une fois branché sur un port USB
d’alimentation.

1. Débranchez l’extrémité USB du câble et
branchez-le sur un port USB d’alimentation.

2. Vous savez qu’il est en mode de recharge
lorsque les voyants bleus s’allument et
clignotent. Chaque voyant bleu représente
20% de capacité de sa batterie. Les voyants
bleus clignotent selon la rapidité de recharge
du Venture 30. Un clignotement lent indique
une charge lente, tandis qu’un clignotement
rapide indique une recharge plus rapide.
