Insert the USB Type C charging cable into the battery rescue port. 4. Plug the USB Type C cable and plug into a mains power supply. NOTE: This method takes a long time (approx. 10 Hours). Once the LCD display lights up, change to another charging method.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com CHARGING BY BATTERY 1. If charging through a separate battery, the user needs a battery clip adapter cable, as shown (not supplied). 2. Insert the DC plug of the adapter into the charging port on the rear of the device. 3. Insert the 12V DC adapter into the battery clip adapter, as shown. 4. Clamp the battery clip adapter onto the battery, making sure the red (+) clamp is attached to the positive battery terminal and the black (-) clamp is attached to the negative battery terminal. NOTE: Make sure the battery holds enough power to charge the power station.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com LED LIGHT Short press the LED switch for the 3 different settings of the light as follows:

  • 1 Press: Low Light
  • 2 Presses: High Light
  • 3 Presses: Flashing SOS mode
  • 4 Presses: Off NOTE: After the light has been on for over 1 minute in any setting, the light will turn off when the switch is next pressed. STORAGE & MAINTENANCE 1. Use and store the power station at an ambient temperature of 10°C to 30°C, away from water, heat and other metal objects. 2. For safety reasons, DO NOT store the product in an ambient temperature above 45°C or below -10°C for extended periods of time. 3. For long term storage, discharge the battery to approximately 30% and recharge to 30% every three months. 4. If the remaining power is less than 1% after you have finished using the power station, recharge to 30%. If the power station is left idle for an extended period of time with a critically low battery, it may damage the cells and shorten the life of the product. 5. If the power station has been idle for a long period of time, the battery power is seriously insufficient and cannot be charged normally. In this case, charge through the battery rescue charging port until the LCD screen lights up, then it can be charged in a normal way. NOTE: The maximum charging current for the Battery Rescue Charging Port is 5V DC / 2A.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com TROUBLESHOOTING FAULT SOLUTION Battery high temperature protection Put the power station in a cool and ventilated place so it can be restored after the temperature is lowered. NOTE: DO NOT directly cool the power station by freezing, as this may damage it. Battery low temperature protection Put the device in a warm environment so it can be restored after the temperature rises. NOTE: DO NOT put the power station in an oven, dryer or directly heat the device by other means, as this may damage it. DC can not charge (12V DC & Solar Panel) Check if the charging voltage meets the device requirements: DC charging requirements: 11 - 30V DC Check if the indicator light of the power adapter is on, if not check: 1. If the adapter is correctly connected. 2. Whether the AC socket and supply is working normally. Battery high or low temperature protection has activated. See LCD Display Descriptions or Storage & Maintenance for more information. No AC output Check whether the AC switch is on (green light showing) Check whether the loaded device is connected to the AC output correctly. The equipment is overloaded or short-circuit protected. After reducing the load or eliminating the fault, it can be restored after restarting. Battery under voltage protection. The power station needs to be charged before use; AC switch should be turned off and the turned back on.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com If these remedies are unsuccessful, consult your CLARKE dealer. No output from 12V DC, DC ports, USB & Type C connection ports Check whether the DC switch is on (green light showing). Check whether the green indicator light on the switch is flashing, if it is flashing it may be: 1. Overload Recovery: reduce the load to within the rated range. 2. DC Short Circuit Recovery: Check the load equipment and eliminate the short circuit. 3. Module Over Temperature Recovery: Suspend use and resume after cooling. Battery under voltage protection. Needs to be charged before use. Battery high or low temperature protection has activated. See LCD Display Descriptions or Storage & Maintenance for more information. LED light does not light up Check whether the Light switch is on (green light showing). Battery under voltage protection. Needs to be charged before use. Battery high or low temperature protection has activated. See LCD Display Descriptions or Storage & Maintenance for more information. LCD Display, no reaction Battery high or low temperature protection has activated. See LCD Display Descriptions or Storage & Maintenance for more information. The battery power is seriously low, charge it through the battery rescue port until screen is lit, then fully charge it in a usual way. FAULT SOLUTION
