STEP 1: Charge the Mobile Power Pack
1.
Turn on the Mobile Power Pack. With the Socket logo facing upwards,
slide the power switch left. If needed, use a pen.
2.
Slide the appropriate wall plug for your country into the AC adapter.
3.
Plug the AC adapter into the input jack. Plug the other end into an
electrical outlet.
If you forget to turn on the Mobile Power Pack, the LED may blink once
after you plug it into an outlet, but the device will not charge.
If your Mobile Power Pack has very low charge, it will get warm while
starting to charge and gradually cool down.
STEP 2: Connect the Mobile Power Pack to Your Device
1.
With the Mobile Power Pack turned on, insert a USB cable/adapter
into the USB port at the top. If needed, use another adapter and/or
booster. Connect it to the charging input jack of your device.
2.
Check your device’s LED or battery icon to verify that it is receiving
power, and to determine when your device is fully charged.
3.
After you have finished using/charging your device, disconnect the
Mobile Power Pack, or it can lose charge, even if your device is turned
off.
To prevent unnecessary discharge, disconnect the Mobile Power Pack
when not in use, including during shipping and storage. Some devices,
even when fully charged, will continue to draw power if left connected.
