Quick Start

Unfold the appropriate built-in connector from its storage position and connect it to the device you want to charge. You can also supply your own USB device cable and connect it to the full-size USB port.
Move the function switch left into the on/charge position (green indicator) to begin charging. (Fig. 1)
When finished, move the function switch back into the off/sync position (red indicator) to prevent unnecessary discharging.

Controls

Charging Power Bank

Please fully charge your Power Bank before using the first time.

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 flash 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.

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 flash 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.

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 flash indicating which device cannot be charged because its power needs are too great:

Left 2 LEDs flash – A device connected to the Micro or Mini USB connector
Middle 2 LEDs flash – A device connected to the USB port with your cable
Right 2 LEDs flash – A device connected to the Apple connector

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.

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
