 11 ■ SPBS 5000 A1 Charging with the solar panel CAUTION ► Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 45°C. This is particularly important when using the device inside a motor vehicle. You can charge the battery of the device with the solar panel

Ensure that the solar panel is receiving sufficient sunlight. As soon as there is sufficient sunlight, the solar LED lights up orange to show that the battery is being charged. If the solar LED does not light up, there is not enough sunlight available. In this case, change the location of the device or place the device in direct sunlight. Once the solar LED lights up green, the battery is fully charged.■ 12 

SPBS 5000 A1 Charging with the USB cable If there is no sunlight available, you can charge the battery of the device with the USB cable

CAUTION ► Due to the high battery capacity and bearing in mind the charging time, we recommend charging the power bank using a USB mains adaptor (not supplied). ► Use only a USB mains adapter with an output voltage of 5 V and an output current of at least 2.1 A to charge the power bank ■ To do this, connect the micro-USB plug of the charging cable to the device’s micro-USB port

■ Connect the USB plug of the USB cable to the USB connec- tion of a USB mains adapter. A rough estimate of the charge level is shown during charging by means of the charge level LEDs

Charge level LEDs Charge level One LED is flashing < 25% One LED is on, the second LED is flashing 25–49% Two LEDs are on, the third LED is flashing 50–74% Three LEDs are on, the fourth LED is flashing 75–99% All LEDs are on 100%GB

 13 ■ SPBS 5000 A1 Handling and operation Switch the device on/off Switching on ♦ Press the ON/OFF button briefly to switch on the device. The charge level LEDs light up for about 10 seconds. The LED lights up blue as long as a connected device is being charged. Automatic switch-off ♦ If no device is connected for charging within 10 seconds, the charger switches off automatically to conserve its battery. Switching off ♦ Press and hold the ON/OFF button for at least 3 seconds to switch off the device and stop the charging process. The LED goes out. Display charge level ♦ Press the ON/OFF button briefly to show the charge level of the non-loaded battery for a few seconds. The charge level LEDs provide you with information about the approximate charge level. Charge level LEDs Charge level All LEDs are on 75 -100 % Three LEDs are on 50 - 74 % Two LEDs are on 25 - 49 % One LED is on 5 - 24 % One LED is flashing < 5 % All LEDs off 0 %■ 14 

SPBS 5000 A1 Compatible devices You can use the solar charger to charge end devices that require a charging current of at least 80 mA and a maximum of 2,1A. If the connected end device requires a current of less than 80 mA or more than 2,1A, the solar charger will switch itself off immedi- ately after being switched on with the ON/OFF button . In this case, check the charger’s suitability for your end device on the basis of the technical data of your end device. NOTE ► If the device switches off automatically, it can only be switched back on if it has been charged for a short time beforehand with a USB mains adapter. Charging external devices Connect the charging cable of your end device to the USB port on the solar charger and to your end device. ♦ If charging does not start automatically, press the ON/OFF button briefly to start the charging process. The LED lights up for as long as the connected device is being charged. Once your device is fully charged, the solar charger switches off. To interrupt the charging process, you can disconnect the end device. If your end device is not fully charged and the LED goes out during charging, this means the solar charger’s battery is discharged. The solar charger’s battery must be recharged again before you can charge end devices. Simultaneous charging of the integrated battery and a connected end device is possible in solar operation and via the micro USB port .GB

 15 ■ SPBS 5000 A1 Troubleshooting A connected device is not charging. ♦ Press the ON/OFF button briefly to start the charging process. ♦ The solar charger’s battery is empty. Charge the battery. ♦ No connection to the device. Check the connection. ♦ The solar charger can be used for end devices that require a charging current of no more than 2,1A. If the connected end device requires a current of more than 2,1A, the solar charger will switch itself off immediately after being switched on with the ON/OFF button . In this case, check the charger’s suit- ability for your end device on the basis of the technical data of your end device. The device will not switch on. ♦ The device has switched itself off automatically. You need to charge the device for a short while with a USB mains adapter before you can switch the device back on. The solar charger’s battery is not charging via the solar panel. ♦ Check that the solar panel is receiving sufficient sunlight. NOTE ► If the above-mentioned solutions do not resolve the problem, please contact Customer Service (see chapter Service).■ 16 

SPBS 5000 A1 Cleaning CAUTION Damage to the device! ► To avoid irreparable damage to the device, ensure that no moisture can penetrate the device during cleaning. ► Do not use caustic, abrasive or solvent-based cleaning materials. These can damage the surfaces of the device. NOTE ► A contaminated device will not perform as well. ♦ Clean the surfaces of the device with a soft, dry cloth. For stub- born dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent. Storage when not in use ♦ If you do not intend to use the device for a long time, store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight. ♦ If the solar charger is not going to be used for some time, the battery should be recharged at regular intervals. This helps to preserve battery performance.GB
