Introduction
As you will soon find out, the
s
Charger-5 is a very unique high powered solar charger. It is capable of charging USB
rechargeable devices like cell phones directly from the sun. It does not use any internal batteries that can become
discharged. It will run a cell phone directly from the sun. It utilizes fairly complex circuitry that makes it very simple to
use. With proper use and care, the
s
Charger-5 will provide many years of service.
Most smart phones now come with their own USB connector cable so that they can communicate with personal
computers. This is the same cable that can be used to charge your device with the
s
Charger-5. We found that most of
the new phones now include a cable that has a mini or micro USB connector on one end and a standard “A” connector
on the other end. If you don’t have a cable, you should most likely be able to find your USB cable on the internet or at a
local store.
Getting Started
Simply unfold the
s
Charger-5 and place it in the sun with solar cells facing up. The solar cells are the black squares with
tiny lines on them. The little box on the back has a female USB connector and an LED indicator. The indicator should
light up when the solar panel sees light. It will light up even in the slightest sunlight.
In order to get maximum power,
the panel should be in full sunlight
. Simply plug your USB device into the USB socket on the back of the
s
Charger-5
using your device’s USB “A” type connector. Also note, as the sun moves, the solar panel could eventually get blocked
by an obstruction like a tree or a building etc. Try and strategically place it where there will be no obstructions. If you
are having problems, please see the troubleshooting section.
