  • If the on board socket is not live with the ignition off, modifications on the voltage socket should be carried out only by a professional for automobile electronics.
  • After charging process, disconnect the plug from the cigarette lighter socket.
  • Before starting a drive, disconnect the plug from the on board voltage.
  • Do not stress the cord. Do not bend the cord and keep it away from hot and sharp surfaces. Do not wind the cord around the unit.
  • The solar panel is protected against splashing water (IP44). However, do not immerse it in liquids of any kind.

  • Should the unit become damaged do not use it any further and have it repaired by a professional or contact our customer service. Do not disassemble the unit or try repairing it yourself.

OPERATION

Connect the unit to the vehicle battery using the contact clamps. Alternatively, use the 12 V on-board power socket (cigarette lighter socket).

  1. Connect the intermediate plugs to one another. Plug the connector into the on-board voltage socket of your vehicle. The socket must be live when the ignition key is removed, otherwise the battery cannot be charged.
  2. Position the solar panel so that the sun shines on it, for example, the dashboard, windscreen or rear window.
  3. Switch off all power consumers such as lights, radio, fan, rear window heater, etc. As long as the solar panel receives sufficient sunlight, the indicator light will flash and the battery will be charged.

Notes:
The solar panel can be left connected overnight as a protection circuit prevents the battery from discharging.

Mounting inside and outside the vehicle:
Attach the solar panel with the enclosed suction cups to the inside of a window of the vehicle or to a suitable location on the outside.
Note, however, that when used outdoors, the solar panel is only splash-proof and must not be operated permanently outdoors. For permanent outdoor use, you must seal all joints, including the panel surround, with suitable sealant, e.g. transparent silicone.
Remove an externally mounted solar panel before starting a journey.

Maintenance, cleaning and storage:
Clean the solar battery charger with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners or aggressive chemicals to avoid damaging the surfaces.
Store the solar battery charger in a dry place protected from dust and moisture.
The solar battery charger is protected by a fuse in the plug. If the fuse has been activated, unscrew the tip (A) and replace the old fuse (B) with a new one (C) of the same rating and dimensions:
