lighter input cable or vehicle installation cable) into the input
connector.
• The green INPUT LED will be turned on to indicate the presence
of input power.

for the internal battery pack. When the battery is fully charged, this
LED will be switched off.
5.2 Stand-Alone Mode
Main Output:
• DO NOT connect anything to the main output before setting the
voltage correctly!!!
• Set the output voltage to 5V or 15V by sliding the selection switch.
• Plug the appropriate 3-way main output cable into the main
connector.
• Plug the other end of the cable into your equipment, for example,
PotsDOCK.
• If your equipment draws more than 2A current, the red Overload
LED will be turned on!
USB Output:
• Plug the type A end of your USB cable into the USB output.
• Plug the other end of the cable into your equipment, for example,
the 9555 phone.
• If your equipment draws more than 1A current, the red Overload

Please note that both main output and USB output can be used
simultaneously providing up to 3A current.
5.3 UPS Mode
• Plug the input power source as per instructed in 5.1.
• Connect your equipment to the main and/or USB outputs as per
instructed in 5.2.
• In case a power failure occurred, the UPS Pack would continue to
power your equipment and the duration will depend on the battery
capacity at the power failure.
• When the battery capacity in the UPS Pack is low and your
equipment is drawing full current from the outputs, it will take much
longer to charge the UPS Pack. Thus, it is recommended to fully
charge the UPS Pack before using it as a UPS.
