BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• The solar panel requires full, direct sunlight to charge your camera. Grey skies, rainy days, and other inclement weather conditions may hinder the ability of the solar panel to generate power.
• For best results, the solar panel should be tilted in the direction that captures the most sunlight over the course of the day. The optimum angle varies throughout the year, depending on the season and your geographical location. As a general rule, in the northern hemisphere, the solar panel should face south; in the southern hemisphere, the solar panel should face north. Not sure which direction north or south sits? Download a free compass app to your phone.
• Avoid placing in a shady area where objects such as trees and buildings may block the sun. This will substantially reduce the power output of the solar panel.
• The solar panel is designed to provide a “trickle charge”, topping up and maintaining the camera’s battery charge level based upon the amount of sunlight received daily. If, during the day, the solar panel does not receive enough sunlight (e.g., cloudy weather), it may not sufficiently charge your camera and replenish any usage.
• Periodically clean the solar panel with a soft cloth and warm water. Keep the solar panel surface clear of leaves and debris for optimum performance.

INSTALLING THE SOLAR PANEL

1 Attach the solar panel mounting bracket (black) to a solid surface with the supplied screws. Make sure to allow enough extension cable to reach your camera from the mounting location of the solar panel.
- If mounting to a wooden surface, screw the mounting bracket directly to the surface.
- If mounting to a masonry surface (bricks, concrete, or stucco), drill three holes and insert the supplied wall plugs into holes. Then secure the mounting bracket to the surface with supplied screws.

INSTALLING THE SOLAR PANEL

3 The solar panel produces power only when it is exposed to sunlight. To generate the most power and achieve best charging performance, tilt the solar panel in the direction that captures the most sunlight over the course of the day.

PEAK SUNLIGHT HOURS ~10AM-3PM Loosen the locking nut slightly to adjust solar panel angle. Tighten back the locking nut to hold solar panel in position. Charging performance is directly related to the amount and strength of sunlight received. Charging rate will be slower in cloudy conditions or in the shade. GOOD NOT OPTIMAL Solar Panel Solar Panel

INSTALLING THE SOLAR PANEL

4 Connect the solar panel to your camera, as shown in the diagram below.

Connect one end of the extension cable to the solar panel's micro USB output and the other end to your camera's micro USB port.
