INSTRUCTIONS

Battery installation and replacement
The portable station is compatible with two replaceable batteries: APW-PSBP1 (1616 Wh) and APW-PSBP2 (2000 Wh). Follow these steps to install or replace the battery:

Open the lock and open the lid.
Hold the battery in both hands and carefully insert it vertically into the interior of the station. You can insert the battery in both directions.
Close the lid and secure the lock. The portable station turns on automatically when the battery is installed.

Note:
When replacing the battery, first remove the inserted battery and then insert a new one.

Charging the station
Only charge the station with the supplied charging adapter. Charge the station fully before use.

Input connectors intended for charging are:

AC input port for charging from an AC outlet; super fast charging (max. power 1,200 W)
XT60 input port for charging from the solar panel (solar panel not included); or
input port DC5521 for charging e.g. from a car battery.

Note:
If you will not be using the station for a long time, we still recommend charging it regularly, at least every 3 months. This will extend the life of the built-in battery.

Serial / parallel charging via solar panel
The portable station supports charging via a solar panel with a maximum output of 600 W.
The solar panel is not included in the package and must be purchased separately, including a connecting cable, which will be equipped with a terminal suitable for connection to the station. This is the only way to achieve fast and efficient charging.

WARNING:
The maximum voltage of the solar panels that the portable station supports is 60 V and the maximum current is 10 A.

Attention:
The portable station must be charged via a single solar panel with a voltage of less than 60 V. An input voltage exceeding 60 V can seriously damage the station.
Each input connector of the XT60 serial input cable must be connected to the corresponding solar panel before you can use it.

Charging the backup battery
You can charge the backup battery either by inserting it into the station, via an external charging module (not included).

Press and hold the on / off button (for about 5 seconds) and the station will turn on. The number of lit LEDs indicates the battery charge status.
The external charging module supports two charging methods – via a solar panel and via a car battery. Connect the backup battery to the external charging module via the charging cable and then connect the module to either the solar panel or the car battery.
The charge status LEDs will flash during charging. As the backup battery charges, the LEDs will light up gradually. Once all 4 LEDs light up, the backup battery is fully charged.
When the station is on, the charge status indicator will still be on. Press and hold the on / off button and turn off the backup battery

Using the station
Make sure before each use that the battery is installed and fully charged.

Station use – alternating current
The portable station allows to supply up to 5 appliances with alternating current at the same time, provided that the total power does not exceed 2,000 W.

Press and hold the power switch to turn on the station. The power switch indicator and the display light up. The station switches to standby mode.
Insert the plug of the appliance into the power outlet in the station.
Press the AC button to turn on the AC power for the appliance.
After use, press the AC button to turn off the power. The station switches to standby mode. Unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
To switch off the station completely, press and hold the main switch.

Station use – direct current

Press and hold the power switch to turn on the station. The power switch indicator and the display light up. The station switches to standby mode.
Plug the cable end of the device you want to charge to the DC connector.
Press the DC button to turn on the DC power of the device.
After use, press the DC button to turn off the power. The station switches to standby mode. Pull out the connector from the port.
To switch off the station completely, press and hold the main switch.

Station use – USB output

Press and hold the power switch to turn on the station. The power switch indicator and the display light up. The station switches to standby mode.
Press the USB button to turn on the device via USB.
Plug the end of the USB connecting cable into the USB port. Plug the other end of the USB connecting cable into a port on your device.
After use, press the USB button to turn off the power. The station switches to standby mode. Pull the terminal out of the USB port.
To switch off the station completely, press and hold the main switch.

Use of the UPS backup function

Connect the portable station to the power outlet using the supplied power adapter. The station turns on automatically and starts charging.
Plug the appliance into the power outlet in the station.
Press the AC button to start the alternate current. The connected equipment enters UPS backup mode.
If you disconnect the portable station from the electrical outlet, the station will continue to supply power to the connected device.

Attention:
Make sure that the portable station is plugged into a properly grounded AC outlet with a stable and normal voltage.
To make sure that the UPS backup function is used correctly, the total power of the connected devices must be less than 1,300-1,500 W. If the power is greater than 1,300-1,500 W, the portable station will automatically shut down power for safety reasons, and shut off charging from an AC outlet and will only power the connected devices.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Keep the portable station clean. Before cleaning, make sure that the station is disconnected from the power supply and that all connectors of the connected devices are disconnected.
Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the station. Do not use a cloth soaked in clean water or water containing detergent to clean it.
If the station is very dirty, we recommend using a piece of cotton swab with a small amount of high-percentage pure alcohol to wipe the surface of the station.
Do not use chemicals, harsh cleaners, solvents, gasoline or other similar substances to clean the portable station.

Warning:
Never immerse the portable station in water or any other liquid. Do not rinse the portable station under running water or any other liquid.

Storage
If you are not going to use the portable station, store it in a dry and well- ventilated place.
Charge the portable station regularly, at least once every three months. This will extend the life of the built-in battery.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Question	Answer
Is it possible to take the station on board a plane?	No. The station contains

a lithium battery and according to the valid international rules of air transport, only equipment with a lithium battery with a total power not exceeding 100 W can be transported on board the aircraft.
It does not charge the station, even though the total power of the connected devices is within the total power of the station.| The station is not fully charged. Charge it and then you can use it.
The station emits noises sometime.| The station is equipped with an air cooling sys- tem. This makes it easier for the built-in fan to dissipate heat, so you may hear the sound of the fan during use. This is a normal occurrence.
