Using PowerRunner
To use Po werRunn er to power and /or charge your portable device,
you must:
A djust the vo ltage level to match that of your device
Select an adapter pl ug to connect the output cord
Adjust the Voltage Level
1. L oca te the vol tag e specification
for your portable dev ice. This
can be found on the dev ice
charger label (Fig ure 3) or
dev ice specification la bel
(Figure 4), wh ich is ty pically
found on the bottom of the unit.
(If available, use the voltage
specification shown on the charger.)
2. Move the vo lt age selector
(Figure 5) to the vo ltage stop
that is eq ual to or one stop larger
than the v oltage specification
identified in step 1. For example,
if your dev ice requires 6V, move
the slider to 6. If your device
requ ires 3.3V, move the slider to
4.5.
It is important to set the voltage
selector NO MORE than one step
higher than the voltage requirement
for the portable device as an incorrect
setting may prevent PowerRunn er
from working with your device, or may
harm your devic e in the rare instance
that the device a cc epts the higher
voltage. However, for all devices,
adjusting the slider ONLY one step
higher than required will not harm the
device.
Select an Adapter Plug
3. Select and co nnect the appropriate
adap ter plug in to the po wer jack on
your p ortable device*. The plug sho uld
fit securely.
4. Connect the selected adapter
pl ug into the open end of the
po wer output cord exactly as
shown in Figure 6, and connect
the other end of the po wer
ou tput cord into t he OUTPUT
jack (Figure 7) on the end of
Pow erRu nner.
If your portable device displays a low
voltage/low capacity or double-bee p
warning while PowerRunn er is
connected, move the slider one
voltage step higher.

*Obtaining Adapters
Five adapter plug s that fit a variety of por tab le devices are inclu ded
with Pow erRu nner. The list of devices compatible w it h these p lu gs is
inclu ded o n the back of the package. If your portab le device jack does
no t accept an y of the plugs pro vided in the adapt er plug k it, you can
ob tain an adapter by contacti ng Tekkeon at
www.tekkeon.com/pradapters or by pho ne at 88 8-78 7-5 888 or 1714-832-1266. If available thro ugh Tekkeo n, the adapter will be sen t

Troubleshooting
If PowerRunner does not power the portable dev ice or charge the
dev ice battery, take these steps:
1. Verify that the current con sumption of the portab le device is not
more than 2Amp. If the device con sumes more than the maximum
pro vided b y PowerRun ner, the device w ill s hut down when
turned on and canno t be po wered/charged by PowerRunner.
2. Insert t he o utput cord in to the P owerRun ner OUTPUT jack to
determine the capacity a s shown here:
Capacity Indication
When LED is on
% Capacity Rem aining
Third Green LED
85 - 95
Second Green LE D
65 - 75
First Green L ED
30 - 40
Red L ED
1 – 5
If you do not have at lea st 65% capacity remaining (one red and
two green lights on), charge Pow erRu nner.
3. Check that the o utp ut cord is connected to both Po werRun ner and
the portable dev ice, and t hat the adapter plug fits snugly in to th e
po wer jack on your portable device. If not, try ano ther adapter.
4. Verify that the polarity of the portable
dev ice ’s power jack matches the adapter
pl ug. In most cases, the po larity is center
po sitive (Fig ure 8). If the p olarity is center
negative, disconnect the adap ter plug from
the ou tp ut cord and reconnect the plug in
the op posite directio n (Figure 9).
5. Check that the o utp ut voltage for you r portable
dev ice matches or is just below th e outpu t
vo ltage set on Po werRunn er. If the outp ut
vo ltage is not correct, ad ju st the vo ltage
selector.
6. Verify that a battery is installed in th e portabl e
dev ice as some devices w il l not functio n
with out a battery installed.
