How to Recharge Your Nature’s Generator
Recharging from Solar Panels

Recharging from Solar Panels

1.  Place your solar panel where it will get as much direct sunlight as possible. While direct sunlight in always preferred, solar panels should be connected at all times to provide a consistent trickle charge to your battery. Solar panels will also send a charge to your unit while in hazy or overcast skies.
2. Insert solar panel plug into Solar Input port on the front of your Nature’s Generator. You will know it is recharging when LCD display lights up, solar panel icon is illuminated and battery bar starts to register. The battery bar will stop registering when the battery on the LCD display is full or there is not enough power from solar panel.
3. It takes about 10 to 15 hours to recharge Nature’s Generator if using 100 watt solar panel, and also depends on the the strength of the sunlight.
4. To increase the recharging speed, you can daisy chain multiple solar panels in parallel connection. The Solar Input port can handle up to 200 watts of solar power. Visit Naturesgenerator.com for information on purchasing additional solar panels.

Recharging from the Wind Turbine

1. Place your wind turbine where it will get as much wind as possible.
2. Insert wind turbine plug into Wind Input port on the front of your Nature’s Generator. You will know it is recharging when LCD display lights up, wind turbine icon is illuminated and battery bar starts to register. The battery bar will stop registering when the battery on the LCD display is full or there is not enough power from wind turbine.
3. The recharging speed depends on the wind turbine power rating and the strength of the wind. The Wind Input port can handle up to 300 watts of wind power. Visit Naturesgenerator.com for more information about the wind turbine.

Recharging from AC Power

1. Locate the power cord in the rear storage compartment on the back of the Nature’s Generator.
2. Insert the power cord to the AC Input Port on the front of the Nature’s Generator.
3. Plug the other end of the power cord into the wall outlet. You will know it is recharging when LCD display lights up, AC input icon is illuminated on the LCD display and battery bar starts registering. The battery bar stops registering when the battery is full.

How to Use Your Nature’s Generator

1. Press the Main Power Switch to turn on your Nature’s Generator. USB ports will be on automatically when Main Power Switch is on.
2. Press the AC Outlet Switch to turn on the AC outlets. When not using the AC outlets, make sure to turn off AC outlet switch to conserve power.
3. You’ll know the port is turned on when the icon is illuminated on the LCD display.
4. Plug in any of your devices for power.

Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) Mode

1. You can recharge your Nature’s Generator and recharge your devices at the same time.
2. If you recharge your Nature’s Generator at the same time when you power your AC devices from the AC Outlet Ports, your Nature’s Generator turns into an Uninterrupted Power Supply. Your AC devices will receive power directly from the AC outlet. If power goes out, your Nature’s Generator will already be running and ready to supply power to your connected AC devices.
3. LCD display shows UPS when it is in UPS mode.

How to Expand the Capacity of Your Nature’s Generator
You can extend the run time of your Nature’s Generator by connecting it to the Nature’s Generator Power Pod. Visit naturesgenerator.com to purchase a Nature’s Generator Power Pod.

1. Open the top cover of the Nature’s Generator Power Pod, locate the expansion cable, and run the expansion cable out of Nature’s Generator Power Pod through the opening on the back of the Nature’s Generator Power Pod.
2. Locate Expansion Port on the back of your Nature’s Generator and open the rubber cover.
3. Connect the expansion cable to the expansion port.
4. The Expansion (Chain Link) Icon will be illuminated on the LCD display to indicate it is connected.

You will experience an increased run time of approximately 167% by adding one Nature’s Generator Power Pod, approximately 333% by adding two Nature’s Generator Power Pods and 500% by adding three Nature’s Generator Power Pods.

How to Maintain and Store Your Nature’s Generator
Please recharge your Nature’s Generator once every four months and store in a ventilated, cool and dry location. If possible, please connect your Nature’s Generator to a power source, like the wall outlet, solar panel or wind turbine while in storage to top off the battery voltage. This keeps the battery healthy and prolongs its life. Failure to maintain Nature’s Generator by these steps can result in battery damage which will void the product warranty.
Please clean your Nature’s Generator with a soft, lint-free cloth. If your Nature’s Generator is especially dirty, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth in a weak detergent solution, squeeze the excess moisture from the cloth, then wipe the cabinet with the cloth. Use a clean cloth to dry your Nature’s Generator.

Troubleshooting

My Nature’s Generator won’t charge when I connect my solar panel to it.
Please follow these steps.

1.  Make sure the solar panel is pointed directly towards the sun. It is preferred to position the solar panel facing south. The solar panel may produce little or no power if it is positioned in the shade.
2. Check the cable connection on your Nature’s Generator and make sure it is properly connected.
3. The LCD lights up but the battery bar is not running. It means the Nature’s Generator has been fully recharged by the solar panel or the solar panel does not have high enough voltage to recharge the Nature’s Generator.

My AC device(s) are not powering up from my Nature’s Generator.
Please follow these steps:

1. Verify your device is suitable for use with your Nature’s Generator. The Nature’s Generator AC outputs work only with 120V AC and up to 1800 watts on three outlets combined.
2. Make sure the Main Power Switch is turned on.
3. Check the battery bar. If there are only three bars or less, recharge your Nature’s Generator. Some AC devices draw large amounts of power and it is recommended to recharge your Nature’s Generator full before heavy use.
4. Make sure the AC outlet switch is turned on. The LED light should be green.
5. If LED light is red, please check the failure icons on the LCD display.
   a. Battery Fail Icon: replace your battery.
   b. Battery Low Icon: recharge your battery before use.
   c. Temperature Warning Icon: The internal temperature is too high. Please let it cool down before trying to use again.
   d. FUSE Icon: Replace the fuses.
   e. AC! Icon: The AC inverter is being protected. Unplug your AC device, turn off AC outlet switch and back on to try it again.

My Nature’s Generator battery drains fast.
Please follow these steps.

1. Check the wattage of your AC device(s). Some devices like a hair dryer, microwave or vacuum draw large amounts of power and thus the battery drains fast. Please always monitor the wattage output information on the LCD display.
2. When your AC device is not in use, turn off AC outlets of your Nature’s Generator to conserve power. The AC outlets consume a considerable amount of power while being in standby mode.
3. When Nature’s Generator is not in use, turn off the Main Power Switch and to eliminate unnecessary battery drainage to shut off the LCD display and USB ports.
