Remove the fi lm before fi rst use! Operation Instructions: 1. To charge using the USB charge cable Insert the USB plug into a desk top PC, lap top or other suitable device which is switched ON. Insert the other end of the cable (mini USB) into FreeLoader’s body. The central LED (B) will turn red. Once fully charged the LED will turn green and the USB charging cable should be removed. Note - do not leave the USB charge cable plugged in overnight as damage to the battery may occur. Do not charge using USB whilst delivering power to a devise at the same time. Important - This method of charging is recommended for the fi rst charge from new and may take up to 8 hours 2. To charge from the solar panels Remove the clear fi lm from both solar panels before fi rst use. Detach the solar panels from the body of FreeLoader and separate the two halves exposing the face of each solar panel. The end of the solar panel that has the two locating lugs should then be inserted into the side of FreeLoader’s body – one solar panel each side. When the solar panels are facing the sun, the two LED’s (A and C) will turn red. The brighter the light, the faster the charge. Note - be careful not to scratch the surface of the solar panels and do not clean with strong detergent. .2. .1. .3. .4. 3.
