PowerPort™ Solar - Portable Battery & Charger

PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR UNIT.

Owner’s manual

Thank you for purchasing the PowerPort Solar Portable Charger and Battery. Take the compact, lightweight

PowerPort Solar with you wherever you go and have a handy charger or rescue battery that works anywhere!

The PowerPort Solar charges your PDA, mobile phone, MP3 player, game system, or any device that can be 

charged via a USB cable connection.

Included in the package you have purchased:

• PowerPort Battery / Charger

• USB charging cable

• Adapter Tips for various mobile devices

• User Manual

Caution

- Do not overcharge the PowerPort. This will shorten the life span of the device.

- Disconnect the PowerPort as soon as it is practical after the charge is complete.

- Recycle or dispose of the PowerPort properly. If disposed of in fire or short–circuited, the PowerPort 

  may leak or explode, causing personal injury.

- When not in use, unplug the PowerPort Solar from all cables and devices.

- Do not drop.

From a USB powered port: 

Attach the Mini USB adapter tip to the small end of the cable (B), and then 

plug into the Mini USB port on the bottom of the PowerPort Solar.

Then plug the other end of the USB cable (A) into any powered USB port.

While charging from a powered USB port, the PowerPort’s Solar LED battery 

status indicator will light up green.  When the charge has been completed, the 

charging LED will turn “OFF”. Once the charging indicator shows the charge 

has completed, disconnect the battery from the USB power source. 

Approximate time for a full charge is 2.5 - 4 hours from a USB port.

Place your PowerPort Solar in direct sunlight to start the charging process; you 

will see the red charging LED if you have optimal sunlight. 

The charging time depends upon the intensity of sunlight, charging times may 

be longer or shorter depending upon factors such as residual battery charge 

and weather conditions.

Note: A one hour charge using direct sunlight will provide enough power for a 

5-10 minute phone call, and a three hour charge will provide enough power for 

a 15-25 minute phone call.
