PowerFilm LightSaver Max Manual

LightSaver Max Technology

The LightSaver Max is made with amorphous silicon solar material which is incredibly thin, exible, lightweight and
durable. Our thin lm solar technology is also extremely sensitive to light. This means it works better in cloudy or shaded
environments than traditional solar panels, turning on earlier and staying on later each day.

Operation

The LightSaver Max collects energy from the sun when available, storing it in the internal battery. That energy is then
available to charge a USB or 12V device anytime, eliminating the need to leave your device out in the sun. The LightSaver
Max can also be charged using USB or 12V inputs if the solar panel is fully rolled up. A second LightSaver Max or other
PowerFilm Solar panel can be connected to the 12V input to increase solar charging speed.
Single button press - Turns the outputs on allowing the LightSaver Max to charge devices. Outputs will stay enabled
until the system is shut o , or about 90 minutes have passed with no load on the outputs. If the LightSaver Max is fully
discharged, it will disable outputs. This protects against draining a device's battery by turning it on and o , which is
common in many other solar chargers.
Double button press - Changes the state of the ashlight. With the ashlight turned o , the rst double press will turn
the ashlight on to the high setting, the second double press will change the ashlight to the low setting, and the third
double press will shut it o .
Press and hold - Turns o the unit. After a press and hold all LEDs on the outputs will be shut o indicating the unit has
been turned o .

Caring For Your LightSaver Max

Avoid Physical Damage
The LightSaver Max's solar material is thin, light and durable, but creasing or puncturing the solar panel will reduce
e ciency. Reasonable care in handling will assure a long life.
Charging Temperatures
Avoid leaving the LightSaver Max on the dashboard of a hot car or in other similarly hot environments as the heat may
damage the battery.
The LightSaver Max charges most e ectively between 35 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit.
When charging the LightSaver Max from solar, roll the tube under the solar panel to prevent potential overheating of the
batteries.
Avoid Excessive Water
A little water on the LightSaver Max is not a problem, but allowing signi cant water inside the unit may corrode
components. Saltwater is particularly corrosive and should be kept out of the device.
