How to check power status

Pressing the TEST button beside the 5 V input port will display the charge level. Full charge will be indicated with all of the LEDs showing Red.

INSTALLATION

Find a location where the panel will receive as much direct sunlight as possible and use the supplied brackets to mount the panel. Typically, the panel should be facing South. Be sure to use the 12 V output port on the back of the panel and the supplied 1.5 mm output cable.

Using anything other than the 12 V port and output cable could damage your device and void the warranty.

Insert the black tipped end into the power pack and the yellow end to your camera. When in normal use the red LEDs do not light up unless you push the TEST button.

It is not recommended to leave batteries in your camera while using the external solar panel.

Note : The other output ports and cables included with the solar panel allows it to be used with other cameras, phones, and devices.

TIPS

Panel requires 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for best performance.
Adjusting the angle of the panel can ensure it receives as much sunlight as possible every day.
Keep your solar panel clean of pollen, dirt, and debris for best performance.
Route the cables along the mounting bracket and as close to the camera as possible to avoid chewing or tearing from animals. Excess cable length should be tucked behind the panel or camera.
Ensure both ends of the cables are installed completely and securely.
Turn the camera ON, trigger a photo and check your app to ensure proper network connection before leaving the area.

CAUTION

Do not drop, disassemble or puncture the power pack.
Do not place in fire, extreme high temperature, or water.
If you notice something not right when in use or when charging, like melting, a bulge in the housing or the unit gets extremely hot stop using it immediately.

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in fire, electric shock, damage, or other injury. This power pack is not a toy. Keep away from children and operate outside.

DISPOSAL

Only use original spare parts and accessories.

If, one day, your solar panel has been used so intensively that it has to be replaced, or if you no longer have any use for it, you are obliged to dispose of it at a recycling center. Information on return points for your electrical appliance can be obtained from your local waste disposal company or from your local administrative offices.

Electrical appliances not only contain valuable recyclable raw materials, but also substances which, if disposed of improperly, can affect public health and the environment. Help ensure that valuable raw materials are recycled by returning your old appliance to a central collection point.

The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) symbol represents the obligation.
