Default standby time: 2 hoursIf the AC power button, DC/USB power button, and LED light button are all turned o and there is no charging input, the product will automatically shut down after 2 hours.*The standby time can be set in the Jackery App. Prerequisite: The product is turned on.DC 12V/USB OUTPUT ON/OFF Press oncePress once

• The DC 12V port is only compatible with 12V car batteries and not suitable for 24V systems.• Do not start the car while the product is charging the car battery through the 12V DC output port, as this may damage the product.• This feature is intended for emergency use only and cannot charge a dead or damaged car battery.The product can charge your car battery using the Jackery 12V automobile battery charging cable, which is sold separately and available on our website. Prerequisite: The product is turned on. The LED light has two modes: Light mode and SOS mode.* The default setting is Light mode.* In any mode, press and hold the LED light button to turn off the light.

LIGHT Press the LED Light button once to turn on the light.Press it again to enter SOS mode.Press it a third time to turn off the light.

• If the Energy Saving Mode is disabled, the product will not automatically turn off the AC or DC/USB output.

• Energy Saving Mode resumes previous state after power-on. Manual switching is required for mode changes.

• Please set the Energy Saving Mode duration in the Jackery App. To prevent unnecessary battery consumption from forgetting to turn off the output, the product enables Energy Saving Mode by default. When AC or DC/USB output is turned on, the Energy Saving Mode icon will be displayed on the LCD screen. If no device is connected or the connected device's power consumption is below a certain threshold (AC output≤ 25W; USB+DC 12V port output≤2W), the product will automatically turn off the outputs after 12 hours.

• This product does not support 0 ms switching. Do not connect it to equipment that requires an uninterrupted power supply, such as data servers or workstations.• Before use, please test compatibility with your device multiple times.• It is recommended to connect one device at a time. Do not use multiple devices simultaneously, as this may trigger overload protection. Connect the product to a wall outlet with the AC charging cable, then press the AC output button and power your appliances at the same time.An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a type of continual power system that provides automated backup electric power to a load when the mains grid power fails.In the event of a sudden loss of grid power, the Explorer 1500 will automatically switch to stored power within 10 ms to keep your appliances running.In UPS mode, the unit's peak output reaches 1440W before power outages. As simultaneous charging/discharg-ing is enabled in Bypass Mode, the actual output power is lower than the rated output power in this mode but returns to rated output power during outages.

CHARGING VIA AC WALL OUTLET

Fully charge the product before its first use.

• The recommended charging temperature for the product ranges from -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C), and the discharging temperature ranges from -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C). Operating the product beyond this temperature range may restrict its charging and discharging capabilities, or even prevent it from charging or discharging.• The charging power and battery capacity of the product may vary due to temperature fluctuations. NOTE Make sure the AC charging cable is fully and securely plugged into the AC input port. An incomplete connection may cause unstable current, overheating, poor contact, or device malfunction. CAUTION

CHARGING VIA SOLAR PANELS

Connect the AC charging cable to the AC input port of the power station and plug it into the wall outlet. Emergency Charging Mode Under this mode, you can rapidly power up the portable power station using the AC charging method. This emergency charge function can be activated or deactivated through the Jackery app. When in emergency charging mode, the circular light indicating the state of charge (SOC) will blink at an increased pace.

• To maximize battery life, it is best to charge at normal speed. We recommend using emergency charging mode only when necessary. It’s not recommended for regular, long-term use. Ensure that the input voltage for both DC input ports is the same. Failure to do so may damage the product. For example:

• It is recommended to use the same model of Jackery solar panels and the same number of panels when connecting solar panels to both DC8020 Input ports.

• Do not charge the product using both a car charger and a solar panel simultaneously. Doing so may blow the car fuse or result in charging failure. Green energy first: We advocate to use the green energy first. This product supports two modes of charging at the same time: solar charging and AC wall charging. When AC wall charging and solar charging are turned on at the same time, the product will give priority to solar charging and both methods will be used to charge the battery at the maximum permissible power. Jackery Explorer 1500 has two DC8020 input ports and is compatible with the Jackery solar panels. If one DC8020 input port needs to connect two solar panels simultaneously, please refer to the figure below for charging through the solar panel connector (sold separately, not included as standard).SolarSaga 100 Air × 4 CAUTION

CHARGING WITH A CAR CHARGER

This product can be charged using a 12V car charger. Ensure that the car charger and the 12V car power outlet provide a good connection. It is recommended to use the Jackery Solar Panel to charge the Explorer 1500. Ensure that the open-circuit voltage (V

) of the solar panel falls within the Jackery Explorer 1500's DC input voltage range (16V–60V). Jackery is not responsible for any losses caused by using solar panels from other brands. Vehicle *The car charging cable is sold separately.

One DC8020 input port can be connected to at most two solar panels. CAUTION

• Please start the vehicle before charging your power station.

• If the vehicle is running on bumpy roads, it is forbidden to use the car charger in case it causes non-standard operation. The Company will not be responsible for any loss caused by non-standard operation.

• Vehicle charging is only applicable to vehicles with 12V DC, not 24V DC. Please do not charge this product in 24V vehicle to avoid personal injury and property loss.13 STORAGE Store the product in a dry clean place with proper ventilation. Storage temperature and humidity:
