Recharging From the Solar Panel
The solar panel is very convenient in places where you do not
have access to AC or DC sources for charging. You can take
the Powerpack Solar 400 with you and use the solar panel to
charge it during the day when sunlight is available and have
some power available in the night depending on how much
energy was stored in the battery.
The 5 W solar panel is made of amorphous silicon material
and mounted on the front side panel of the unit. The solar
panel itself can be detached from the unit to allow you to
position it better to catch direct sunlight.
The solar panel is connected to the charging assembly via an
electrical cord that is joined together by male/female
connectors.
To reconnect the solar panel to the unit:
1. Align the male plug of the solar panel’s connector to the
female receptacle of the unit’s connector.
2. Align the female receptacle of the solar panel’s connector
to the male plug of the unit’s connector.
3. Push the two connectors together until they are securely
joined.
