The Ascent XD12 is designed for outside use to charge smartphones, tablets, and other 5V
USB-enabled devices.
Ensure that the panel is angled towards the sun to receive the most direct sunlight.
The solar charger does not store power; it uses the power of the sun to then directly charge the connected device.
If you would like to store power for when the sun is not available, we recommend connecting the solar charger into
a portable battery.
For device charge times, please visit www.AscentSolar.com.
1. Unfold:
Completely unfold the Ascent XD12 USB Solar Charger to ensure all four panels are
solar-side up and exposed to the sun.
2. Connect to Panel:
Locate the USB output connection end of your charging cable. Plug the USB
connection end into the solar output port on the solar charger. (Note: Charging cable not included.
For best results, use the original cable that came with your device or a certified third-party cable.)
3. Connect to Device:
Locate the opposite end on the charging cable and plug into the input port on
your device.
* For optimal charging performance with Apple devices, we recommend users disconnect and reconnect their
electronics every hour when dealing with cloudy or overcast conditions.
