ways, by exposing the solar panel to sunlight or by
connecting it to a desktop or notebook using the USB
charging cable included.
Charging the Battery Using the Solar Panel
Expose the face of the solar panel to sunlight. LED C will
go on indicating that the charge has begun. The time
required to fully charge the battery is dependent on the
quality of light available. The stronger the light is, the
faster the battery will be charged.
