4.1. Charging the power pack
• Start the power pack charging process by connecting the enclosed USB-C to USB-C cable to the
USB-C input on the power pack (
IN 5V/3A; 9V/2A
) and to a suitable USB-C charger. Alternatively,
the power pack can also be charged via the micro-USB socket. To do this, connect a micro-USB
cable to the micro-USB input
(
IN 5V/A; 9V/2A
) on the power pack and a suitable USB charger. Consult the operating
instructions for the USB charger you are using.
• The charging process begins and ends automatically.
• Fully charge the power pack once before using it for the first time.
Note - capacity
• During the power pack charging process, the capacity is displayed constantly.
• Each status LED corresponds to 25% of the capacity. The permanent illumination of an LED
indicates that the capacity has already been reached. If three LEDs light up and the fourth one
flashes, the power pack is at least 75% charged.
• If all four status LEDs light up, the full capacity is available.
• Press the button on the power pack to switch this on and to determine the power pack's current
capacity.
• Press the button twice until the status LEDs go out to switch the power pack off.
