Please fully charge your Power Bank before using the rst time.

Charging Power Bank

To charge, connect the included USB cable’s Micro-USB connector
to Power Bank’s charging port (Fig. 2) and the other end to the USB
wall adapter that came with the device you want to charge or a
computer. When connected, the LEDs on the side of the unit will
ash indicating that it is charging. Charge time for Power Bank
alone is about 3.5 hours from a standard 2.1A iPad® USB
wall adapter, or about 6.5 hours from a standard 1A iPod®/

®

iPhone

USB wall adapter. Note: USB wall adapters not included. Note: It is
normal for Power Bank to be warm to the touch while in use.

Powering On and Off

To keep your Power Bank fully powered and ready to charge, keep the

function switch (Fig. 1) in the off/sync position when not in use. This deactivates all

connectors as well as the level check button so there is no unintentional drain on the battery. To

turn your Power Bank on, move the function switch left into the on/charge position (green indicator).

All connectors can now charge devices, and the level check button will report the current status.

Note: It is normal for Power Bank to be warm to the touch while in use.

Charging Devices

A Micro-USB, Mini-USB and Apple® connector are built-in to let you charge hundreds

of devices without the need for any additional adapters, as well as a full

size USB port for charging almost anything else.

6

To charge a device, connect it to the appropriate connector and move the

move the function switch left into the on/charge position (green indicator). To charge a device
with your own USB cable, connect the cable to your device and insert the USB connector into
Power Bank's full-size USB port. Power Bank is capable of charging up to 4 devices at the same time.

When Power Bank's internal battery is depleted beyond the ability to charge the connected devices, all
LEDs will ash for 30 seconds indicating it's time to connect a power source. Use a standard USB iPad
or iPod/iPhone wall adapter, or one that came with your device rated for 1A output or more. The

charge time of your Power Bank with devices attached will vary depending on the current

charge level of those devices and its internal battery.

7

Overload Protection

Power Bank enables you to charge multiple devices. Because devices

vary in their power requirements, it's possible to connect a group of devices that need

more than what Power Bank can supply. When this occurs, Power Bank implements overload

protection. LEDs will ash indicating which device cannot be charged because its power needs are

too great:

• Left 2 LEDs ash - A device connected to the Micro or Mini USB connector

• Middle 2 LEDs ash - A device connected to the USB port with your cable

• Right 2 LEDs ash - A device connected to the Apple connector

8

In the event of an overload, unplug the last device connected. To

manually reset, disconnect all devices, move the function switch to the off/sync position
and then back to on/charge before reconnecting devices in the priority order you prefer.

Syncing

Your iPod, iPhone or iPad can be synced to a computer while connected to Power Bank. Simply
connect Power Bank to your computer with the provided USB cable, move the function switch
to the off/sync position (right) and connect your device to the Apple connector. Note: Power

Bank does not support sync through the built-in Micro-USB or Mini-USB connectors.

9

Battery Indication

To check how much battery is left, make sure the function switch is in

the on/charge position (green indicator) and press the level check button on Power

Bank’s side. (Fig. 1).

• LED 1 is lit - 00-17% Power

• LED 2 is lit - 17-34% Power

Troubleshooting

• My device is not charging or (The status indicator lights

are not glowing): Conrm that your device is properly connected to the appropriate

connector on Power Bank. Make sure the function switch for Power Bank is in the on/charge
position (left with green indicator). Press the level check button to verify that Power Bank's battery
has a charge. If no status is shown, please connect Power Bank to a power source with the included
USB cable.

• My device is not charging and Power Bank's LEDs are flashing in pairs: Power
Bank is in overload protection. Unplug the last device connected, noting that it may take some

time for the lights to stop ashing. To manually reset, disconnect all devices, move

the function switch to off/sync and then back to on/charge before

reconnecting devices. If the overload

13

occurs again, you may have a combination of

devices that require too much power to connect simultaneously.

• My device is not charging and all Power Bank's LEDs are flashing: Your

Power Bank is out of power. Connect the included USB cable to Power Bank and the other end

to a power source.

• My Apple device is not syncing: Conrm that your device is properly connected to the Apple
connector. Conrm that the Power Bank is properly connected to your computer with the included

USB cable. Make sure that the function switch is in the off/sync position (right with red indicator).
