6. CHARGING
before use or storage, plug your kodak ppS600 into the wall until it is fully charged. if the display shows
less than 20% capacity, plug it into a power source, like an ac outlet or a solar panel as soon as possible.
to preserve battery lifespan, please use and recharge at least every 3 month.
you will know that the kodak ppS600 is charging when you see the red led indicator flashing once per
second. it is fully charged when all battery segments stop blinking and remain solid. the kodak ppS600
will be fully recharged after 6-7 hours.
Always use the supplied AC charger.
ATTENTION
only charge the unit when the ambient temperature is between 0 and +40 °c (32 - 104 °f).
end the charging process by switching off the unit and pulling the plug out of the socket.
kodak ppS600 8mm input port is compatible with both kodak Solar panels Sp50 and Sp100 with an
input voltage of 18V. place your solar panel where it will get as much direct sunlight as possible. Solar
charge times depend on weather conditions.
it is fully charged when all battery segments stop blinking
and remain solid.
NOTE
don‘t place the solar panels in shaded areas or behind windows.
although you should seek out the shade on sunny days, your solar panels will collect more energy
when fully exposed to the sunlight. windows are decreasing the efficiency.
the lcd display indicates the charge level of your kodak
ppS600. the battery icon on the display is divided into
five segments, approximating 20%-40%-60%-80% -100%
capacity. as you use the unit, the number of lit segments
will reduce, indicating the remaining charge. once your
kodak ppS600 is fully charged, all battery segments will
be lit and remain solid.
the
INPUT section
in the upper part of the display indi-
cates the power to the kodak ppS600 from your char-
ging source (mains supply or solar panel). when char-
ging from a solar panel, this charging power will change
as you change the orientation of the solar panel relative
to the sun.
the
OUTPUT section
in the lower section of the display indicates the amount of power your devices are
drawing from kodak ppS600. this information is displayed in watts (w).
please note that the charging time may vary depending on the ambient temperature involving the solar
charger.
