THE LED FLASHLIGHT
There are three modes of light emission from the LED flashlight as: strong, weak, and S.O.S. signal flashing. Press the button once to emit the strong light. Press the button for a second time to emit the weak light. Press the button for a third time to emit the S.O.S. signal. Press the button for a fourth time to turn off the LED flashlight.

THE MAIN POWER ON/OFF
Press and hold the power button to turn on or turn off the RUNHOOD Portable Power Station. Press and hold for 1 second to turn it on; Press and hold for 3 seconds to turn it off. When the RUNHOOD Power Station is turned on, the LCD screen lights up. Press the power button, adjust the brightness of the LCD backlight, and keep the RUNHOOD Power Station running. If the RUNHOOD Power Station becomes idle for 5 minutes, the brightness of the back light for the LCD is to be tuned down. If the Portable Power Station becomes idle for more than 20 minutes (idle means that there is no charging or discharging), the RUNHOOD Portable Power Station automatically turns off.
DC INPUT: THE POWER ADAPTER/THE CAR CHARGING CABLE WITH A 6530 CONNECTOR /THE SOLAR PANEL CHARGING CABLE
With the DC6530 connector as the DC input port, there are three charging methods for HE600 MINI-US: charging with the adapter of the RUNHOOD Power Station, charging with the car charging cable with a 6530 connector, and charging with the PV charging cable. It supports parallel connection of PV panels. To protect the system, the DC input limits the input power to a maximum of 200W. It supports input of 12V/24V at a maximum of 10A from a car charging port. (Ensure that the engine is started to avoid battery depletion).
AC ON/OFF
Press the AC ON/OFF button to turn on or turn off the AC power output from the RUNHOOD Portable Power Station. When the AC output is powered on,both the indicator in the AC ON/OFF button and the “AC” icon in the LCD will be illuminated. When the AC output is powered off, both the indicator in the AC ON/OFF button and the “AC” icon in the LCD will not be illuminated. When the energy in the Portable Power Station decreases to a level of 0%, the AC output will be cut off. Accordingly, the AC indicator and the “AC” icon in the LDC will not be illuminated. When the energy in the Portable Power Station increases to a level over 2%, the AC output returns to normal. In the event of an overload, although the AC output stops working, the AC indicator will remain lit. At the same time, the “AC” icon and the “OVERLOAD” icon on the LCD will flash together with a warning beep to remind you that the power source is being protected. Press the AC ON/OFF button to reset.
DC ON/OFF
Press the DC ON/OFF button to turn on or turn off the DC output from the RUNHOOD Power Station. The corresponding indicator is illuminated accordingly. This button has the control over the car charging output port, one wireless charging pad, 1 USB-C output ports, and two USB-A output ports of the RUNHOOD Power Station. When both USB ports are used simultaneously, the output voltage becomes 5V. When the overload indicator and DC indicator (or the USB-A indicator or the car charging port indicator) flash simultaneously with the buzzing, it means that the relevant output is cut off. Please disconnect the Power System and press the DC ON/OFF button to reset. When the remaining energy of the Power Station decreases to a level below 2%, the DC output is cut off. If the DC ON/OFF is pressed, the DC output remains failure. The buzzer then alarms three times. In this case, it is necessary to charge the Power Station. If the energy of the Power Station exceeds a level over 2%, it will return to normal.
THE ON-BOARD CAR CHARGING PORT
The on-board car charging port supports a maximum output current of 10A and can be used for general equipment on-board. It can be used to charge the 12V lead-acid battery in the car (It must be operated under the guidance of a professional). This is not a feature that can help you to start a successful ignition immediately. However, it helps to charge the lead-acid battery in the car to a certain level, making it convenient for the car to start a successful ignition with the battery. The actual charging time depends on the real-time status of the car.

USB-A QC 3.0
It can be used to charge various devices, such as smartphones, tablets, cameras, speakers, and other devices that can be charged through USB ports, with a maximum output power of 28W per port (for devices that support the QC 3.0 charging protocol).
WIRELESS CHARGING PAD
It can be used to charge mobile phones and other devices suitable for wireless charging with a maximum power of 15W (The actual charging power depends on the device).
USB-C PD3.0 100W
It can be used to charge devices including laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other devices with USB-C ports, with a maximum power of 100W per port (for devices that support the PD3.0 charging protocol).
120V AC sockets
Two sockets supplying 120V pure sine wave AC power are designed to provide your devices with a maximum rated power output of 600W. This product does not support devices with power rates greater than this value. Please check and confirm before use of this product to avoid property damages and personal injuries.
