FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
•
If I accidentally left my powergorilla turned on with no device
attached, how long would it stay on for?
It will automatically turn off after 1 minute.
•
My powergorilla will not turn on. It shuts down when it still has
power left in it.
A safety feature may have been triggered. Connect the powergorilla
to the AC electrical wall socket with the included AC mains charger
(6) for at least 10 seconds. This will reset the powergorilla.
•
I’ve attached a device and the LCD screen is flashing and the
powergorilla shuts down.
This happens when the device attached is drawing too much
power from the powergorilla. Try using a lower power consumption
setting on your device or charging with the device turned off.
•
Can I use 2 or more powergorilla’s to speed up the powering
time of my device?
Yes, from DC out (3) you can power from multiple powergorilla
chargers with our Y or 4 way cable (available separately).
•
The DC out port turns off when my device is not fully charged.
•
Which voltage should I use to charge my smartphone?
The USB port can charge your smartphone.
Yes, the powergorilla only comes 30% pre-charged. This limit is
set according to airline regulations and is ready to use straight
out of the box. However, we do recommend fully charging the
powergorilla within 7 days of receiving it, and at least once
every 4 months thereafter.
This may happen when your device is only drawing a very small
amount of power and is not being recognised by powergorilla.
Select the correct DC voltage for your device. Press the on/off
button (4) twice in quick succession. The LCD screen will
illuminate and stay on until the powergorilla is manually turned
off. Refer to Permanent DC on mode on page 11.
