Frequently Asked Questions - AMW10US TARGUS

How do I charge my device with the Targus AMW10US solar panel?

Place the solar panel in direct sunlight, connect your device via the USB-A port using the included cable. The panel will automatically start charging when sufficient light is available. The output is 5V/2A, compatible with most smartphones and tablets.

Can I use the solar panel in cloudy weather?

Yes, but charging speed will be significantly reduced. The panel works best in direct sunlight. On cloudy days, it may still provide a trickle charge for small devices.

Is the Targus AMW10US waterproof?

The panel has an IPX4 rating, meaning it is splash resistant. It can withstand light rain, but should not be submerged or exposed to heavy rain for extended periods.

How long does it take to fully charge a smartphone?

Charging time depends on sunlight intensity and device battery capacity. Typically, a 3000mAh smartphone can be charged in about 3-4 hours under direct sunlight.

Can I charge a power bank with this solar panel?

Yes, you can charge power banks with a USB input. Ensure the power bank's input current is compatible (up to 2A). Charging may be slower than mains.

Does the panel have any safety features?

Yes, the panel includes short circuit and overcharge protection to safeguard your devices. It also has a built-in current limiter.

How should I clean the solar panel?

Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Clean regularly to maintain efficiency.

Can I connect two panels together?

The AMW10US is not designed for daisy-chaining. Only one panel can be used at a time to charge a single device via the USB port.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Targus offers a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Retain your proof of purchase.

Is the panel repairable if damaged?

The solar panel is sealed and not user-repairable. Contact Targus support for warranty or replacement options.

Operating Hints

For optimal performance and RF reception:

- For instances where the PC is positioned under a desk or other places that might impede wireless connectivity, use of the extension seat is recommended. (See the diagram on page 7.)

- Avoid using the mouse on a metal surface. Metals, such as iron, aluminum or copper, shield the radio frequency transmission and may slow down the mouse's response time or cause the mouse to fail temporarily.

- The mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same time your computer does. Click any mouse button to wake it.

- If your computer has a metal case that contains aluminum or magnesium, use the mouse to the side. The display panel may interfere with the radio frequency

signal if you use the mouse directly in front of the computer.

• Never use the mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as these surfaces will cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
• To maximize battery life, use the mouse on a light colored surface. Dark surfaces cause the mouse's light emitter diode (LED) light to glow brighter, which causes the battery to discharge more rapidly.

Comfortable Usage

Research suggests that physical discomfort and injury to nerves, tendons, and muscles may be related to repetitive motion, an improperly set up work area, incorrect body posture, and poor work habits.

To reduce the risk of injury, follow these precautions:

• Stand, stretch, and move around several times every hour.
• Switch hands while performing tasks. Use shortcut keys to avoid repetitive or awkward mouse movements.
• Relax your shoulders and keep your elbows at your sides. Adjust the keyboard's position so that you don't have to stretch to reach it.
• Adjust your position so that you don’t have to bend your wrists to type; avoid placing your wrists on a sharp edge.

If you feel discomfort or numbness in your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, or back while typing, consult a qualified medical professional.

Troubleshooting

Whatdoldoifthemousedoesnotwork?

• Make sure that the polarity of the battery is correct. The positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the battery must match the positive (+) and negative (-) connections in the battery housing.
• The battery may need recharging. See “Charging the Mouse” on page 7.
• Check that the receiver's USB connector is firmly attached to the USB port on your computer or to the extension seat, and that the extension seat's cable is connected to your PC.
• Make sure you have established a communication link between the mouse and its receiver. See “Synchronization” on page 8.

Whenlusethemouse,otherwirelessdevices workmoreslowlyorfailtemporarily-what shouldIdo?

- The mouse may cause interference with any cordless, radio-based device that operates at 27 MHz, such as a telephone, baby monitor, or toy. To reduce interference, move the mouse's receiver and the base unit of the affected device as far away from each other as possible.

Whatdoldoiftheresponsetimeofthemouse issloworthemouseintermittentlystops working?

• Increase the distance between the mouse’s receiver and the rest of your computer equipment. Use the USB extension seat if necessary.
• Increase the distance between the mouse’s receiver and the base units of other wireless devices.
• Turn off any wireless devices and their base units that are near the mouse’s receiver.
• If you are using the mouse on a metal surface, move it and the receiver to a non-metal surface. Metals, such as iron, aluminum or copper, shield the radio frequency transmission and may slow down the mouse's response time or cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
