2. You‘ll know your device is working when the LCD displays the pe rcentage charge remaining.

3. Plug in your device for mobile powe r.

Best-use strategy

• When charging devices with Explorer 440, take note of the LCD Display..

•

If you plug in devices that have a high power requrement, the charge lever of Explorer 440 can drop quickly and you may not get be able to extract the enti re 440Wh of energy.

• If you’ re charging devices that draw power slowly (e.g., a tablet), you will be able to extract close to the full 440 Wh out of Explorer 440. If you’re experiencing shorter run times,you can check the device’s power requirements.

App ropriate temperatu re usage

• Cold temperatures can impact both the Explorer 440 battery capacity and the output power.

• The Explorer 440 can power your devices at temperatures ranging from 0 - 40°C (32 - 104 °F). If your working

temperature is outside this range, the Explorer 440 may stop working.

9. Solar panels

1. Solar panels don’t store energy from the sun, they collect it.

Use your solar panel to charge your Explorer 440 so that you can use it day or night to power your devices.

2. Not all solar charge times are created equal.

Most solar panel manufacturers calculate recharge times using the following equation: Devices Watt Hours / Solar Panel Watts = Solar Recharge Times.

So theoretically, a 13 watt solar panel would charge a 50 watt-hour battery pack in 3.84 hours (50/13 = 3.84) –

results across all manufacturers, these tests are completed in laboratory settings. The truth is, on a good, sunny day, you’ll received about 50-75% of your solar panel’s rated wattage.

3. Solar panels generate power even in overcast conditions.

Solar panels utilize IR, UV, and visible rays from the sun that can penetrate through clouds. Although the

the sun.

4. Don‘t place the solar panel in shaded areas or behind windows.

Although you should seek out the shade on sunny days, your solar panels will collect more energy when fully

in the bright sunlight.

5. Proper alignment works wonders.

mother nature do the rest.

10. Troubleshooting

If your device is not being powered correctly or isn‘t charging when connected to your Explorer 440, check the remaining charge by pressing the ON/OFF button.

1. Ensure the device has been switched on and the LED is showing the percentage of remaining charge.

2. Check the battery display. If it is at 20% or below, recharge your Explorer 440.

3. Verify your device is suitable for use with the Explorer 440.

a. All Explorer 440 output ports have their own max. power. Check the Explorer 440’s technical speciﬁcations to ensure you device is compatible.

What should I do if the unit gets wet?

Immediately turn oﬀ the unit and wait until you are certain that it is completely dry before turning it back on. If you are unsure about when it is safe to turn it back on, please contact after sales service.

11. Storage

1. Charging to maximum capacity

Fully charge the power supply unit prior to long-term storage. Charge the power supply unit at least once every three months.

2. Turn oﬀ all switches

As soon as the Explorer 440 power supply unit is charged fully, switch oﬀ the main switch and the other ON/OFF buttons and disconnect the adaptor from the main unit.

3. Cleaning

Wipe away any dirt using a damp cloth.

ATTENTION

Gasoline, thinner, kerosene, petroleum, etc. have the characteristics of solvents.

4. Storage

Store the power supply unit only in a dry and dust-free environment which is out of reach of children. Suitable storage temperature: 0 to 40°C (32 - 104 °F). Keep out of direct sunlight. Make sure that the unit rests on a stable surface.

Do not use.

12. Service life of lithium ion batteries

Charge, supply current and store between 0 and 40°C (32 - 104 °F).

Using the battery at temperatures outside the lower and upper limits reduces the battery‘s running time.

Do not connect a continuous load of more than 300 W.

The unit‘s output stops automatically in case of overloading, since it reduces the running time of the battery.

Do not continue to charge the battery after it has charged completely.

Pay attention to the indicated capacity. Do not charge the battery once it has been fully charged or the charging process has been concluded. Otherwise the service life of the lithium battery may be reduced.

Switch oﬀ the unit if it is not being used.

Unnecessary power consumption also reduces the running time of the lithium battery.

Fully charge the battery prior to placing it in storage.

Fully charge the power supply unit prior to lengthy periods of non-use for storage and recharge the unit. After prolonged storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the battery several times in order to reach full capacity.
