Getting Started Simply unfold the sCharger-5 and place it in the sun with solar cells facing up. The solar cells are the black squares with tiny lines on them. The little box on the back has a female USB connector and an LED indicator. The indicator should light up when the solar panel sees light.
These devices are fully supported. You will most likely be surprised how quickly your iDevice will charge with the sCharger-5. Most of the time it is not even necessary to aim the panel at the sun. You can lay it on any flat surface and it should work fine.
Charging other devices If you can get your USB device to charge from a PC USB port then it should solar charge from the sCharger-5. The sCharger-5 can also charge USB backup batteries. USB batteries can be found on our website and other retailers. These battery packs are inexpensive and many are less sensitive to heat than your phone.
Water Resistance The sCharger-5 is water resistant. If it falls in water, take it out of the water and gently shake the water out of the USB box with USB port hole facing down. If condensation collects in the USB box, you can also blow out the water then let it dry completely by leaning the sCharger-5 so that the USB port is facing up.
The sCharger-5 does not charge at full capacity through glass especially UV filtered glass. Glass blocks a large portion of the sun’s rays, so charging through glass (such as on the dash of a car or energy efficiency windows) may not work very well.
After you plug your iDevice into the sCharger-5 and you see the charge icon activate then you are charging. If not, then unplug the phone and plug it back in while the sCharger-5 is in the sun then let the sCharger-5 do its job.
Limited warranty Warranty covers malfunction or defects that may appear in the solar panel or circuitry of the sCharger-5. Not covered is any observable abuse. Abuse is in the form of damage that may have occurred from mishandling the product. Charges may incur if any damage is found.
