• Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold room into
a warm one. The condensation that forms can ruin the product under certain
circumstances.
Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to the power
supply and putting it to use. This may take several hours.
• Handle the product with care, it can be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental
falls, even from a low height.
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around. It may become a dange-
rous plaything for children.
• If you are not sure about the correct operation or if questions arise which are not
covered by the operating instructions, please do not hesitate to contact our techni-
cal support or another specialist.
NOTES ON RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
• The rechargeable battery is permanently installed in the housing of the power
bank and cannot be replaced.
• Never throw the device into a fire. There is danger of fire or explosion due to the
rechargeable batteries!
• Charge the power bank on a regular basis even if it is not used (approximately
every 3 months). Otherwise, it may result in a deep discharge of the battery, thus
making it permanently unusable.
No initial discharge is required during charging due to the rechargeable batteries
used.
• During charging, place the device on a heat-resistant surface. A slight warming
during the charging process is normal.
• If your skin comes into contact with leaking or damaged batteries, you may suffer
burns. For this reason you should use suitable protective gloves in this case.
• Liquids leaking from rechargeable batteries are very chemically aggressive.
Objects or surfaces coming into contact with these liquids might be considerably
damaged.
COMMISSIONING
Charge the built-in rechargeable battery completely before each use.
Make sure that the power rating of your mobile device matches that of the device
(see “Technical Data” chapter).
Always read the operating instructions of your mobile device.
Do not short circuit the USB input/output of the power bank.
a) Checking the charge level of the built-in rechargeable battery
Press the operating button of the power bank briefly to check the charge level of the built-in
rechargeable battery. A running light appears and the power bank checks the battery. Then,
the LEDs indicate the charge level (1 LED illuminated = 25%, 2 LEDs = 50%, 3 LEDs = 75%,
4 LEDs = 100%). A single flashing LED indicates that the charge level is below 25%.
If no USB device is connected for charging, the power bank switches off automatically
after a few seconds and the blue LEDs are illuminated again.
b) Charging the internal rechargeable battery with the USB power adapter
• First, disconnect the device connected to the charging output of the power bank.
It is not possible to use the charging output and to charge the power bank at the same
time.
• Connect the micro USB port to a suitable USB power adapter (e.g. the power adapter that
came with your mobile device/smartphone) using the provided USB cable. It must be able
to supply a current of at least 1 A.
It is irrelevant which of the two USB-A plugs of the USB-Y cable is used.
• During the charging process, the LEDs indicate the respective charging level.
Here, the permanently lit LEDs indicate the charging level (1 LED permanently lit = battery
25% charged, 2 LEDs = 50%, 3 LEDs = 75%, 4 LEDs = 100%) and flashing LEDs indicate
the content to be charged.
Example: 3 LEDs are permanently lit, one LED flashes: The battery is 75% recharged and
the remaining 25% are currently charged.
• The charging duration is dependant on the charging level of the battery and may be several
hours (for charging duration of a completely flat battery, see chapter “Technical Data”).
• Once the built-in rechargeable battery is fully charged, disconnect the power bank from the
voltage/ current supply. The power bank is now ready for use.
