  Press output switch to select the desired outlet type. The output port must press the corresponding button to activate the port. When activated, the LCD display will turn on and provide detailed information about the charging output. When no output is activated, the LCD screen will automatically turn off.

• Overload condition
  If the AC and USB outputs are overloaded or short-circuited, the device will automatically turn off the output power. The code “E07” will be displayed on the LCD screen.
  If the DC output is overloaded or short-circuited, the device will automatically turn off the output power. The code “E08” will be displayed on the LCD screen.

• Discharging
  Press the “Power on/off” button for 1 seconds to turn on the device. Press the “Power on/off” button for 3 seconds to turn off the device. The device uses an advanced battery management system that allows it to charge the connected device through AC or DC output or USB output.

• How to switch frequency?

  • The device can intelligently identify the frequency of voltage when charging, and can automatically set the frequency, so please charge before using. After plugging in the charging cable, the display will show the frequency of current grid voltage if it displays “F50”, it is 50Hz, if it displays “F60”, it is 60Hz.
  • You can also manually set and change the voltage frequency. Before using the power station, please confirm the voltage frequency of your electrical equipment, 50 Hz or 60 Hz?
  • Then press the “Power on/off” button for 1 seconds to turn on the device. If “50” is displayed on the LCD, it means that the operating frequency of the power station is 50 Hz. If’ 60′ is displayed on the LCD screen, it means 60 Hz.
  • If the frequency displayed on the LCD display does not match the frequency of the local power grid, you must change the frequency according to the following steps:
  • Step 1: press the button ‘Power on/off’ for 3 seconds to power off (the LCD display screen will turn off).
  • Step 1: keep pressing the button ‘AC on /off’ with your right finger first and then press the button  ‘Power on/off’ for 1 seconds with your left finger, then release the both fingers off the buttons. You will see the frequency.

• Cooling fan
  The equipment is designed with an internal cooling fan to ensure that the product runs within the proper temperature range. When the device experiences a high output load, it will automatically turn on the fan. During discharging and charging, the fan may run intermittently to keep the internal temperature within the operating range. When the AC circuit is activated, the fan is likely to start to ensure normal operation.

• Power saving sleep mode

  • No charging (AC input + PV), no discharging (DC + USB + AC). When charging is not connected and only the main switch is turned on: sleep after 5 minutes.
  • Any charging is connected (regardless of whether there is power), and it does not sleep.
  • USB <5W, DC <5W, AC <25W, three conditions are met at the same time, and sleep after a delay of 8 hours.
  • The self-consumption of whole machine is less than 5mA after shutting down all switch and sleeping;
  • Please turn off the main power switch during transportation or it will not be used for a long time. Self-consumption after switching off is less than or equal to 200μA.

• Equipment cleaning
  Please make sure that the device is disconnected from all input power and output devices. Wipe with a clean, dry, non-soft cotton cloth. Remove all any foreign objects, dirt or other obstructions on the vents on both sides. While cleaning foreign objects in the side vents, do not allow debris, dirt or other blockage to enters the equipment.
  Do not use corrosive cleaners or solvents.
  Do not use compressed air to clean the side cooling vents, as it will cause foreign particles to enter the interior and cause a short circuit.
  Note: To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not use metal objects to clean the ports.

• Storage
  If it will be stored for more than 1 month, please charge it to 50% capacity and keep it indoors, at normal temperature, and the maximum storage time shall not exceed 6 months. Please keep it away from direct sunlight.
  Excessive temperature will lead to reduced service life, overheating and fire. Extremely cold conditions below the specified storage range can also impair the performance and service life of the equipment. Please keep away from corrosive chemicals and gases.
  After taking it out of storage, perform a visual inspection to ensure that the appearance of the equipment and all accessories are qualified. Check the vents on the intake and exhaust sides to make sure they are free of foreign objects.
