Solar Panel Connector Port

To connect, lift the cover, and 
oriented as shown with the boss on 
top, slide the connector into the 
socket. Please note that the cover 
has a latch-pawl to prevent the jack 
from creeping out. To remove, lift 
the cover slightly to disengage the 
latch, and remove the jack.

(Although both connectors are shown connected in the upper photo for illustration 
purposes, it is not recommended that both the AC charger and the solar charger operate 
at the same time.)
