Check the package contents

(See fold-out page for illustrations)

The product includes the following components:

▯ Power Bank with supporting solar charging function SPBS 5000 B2

▯ Charging cable

▯ 2 x brackets for suction cups

▯ 4 x suction cups

▯ These operating instructions

▯Check the package for completeness and signs of visible damage.

▯If the delivery is incomplete or damage has occurred as a result of

defective packaging or during transport, contact the service hotline

(see section 3 year limited warranty).

Disposal of packaging materials

The packaging protects the device from damage during transport.

The packaging materials have been selected for their environmental friend-

liness and ease of disposal, and are therefore recyclable.

Returning the packaging into the material cycle conserves raw

materials and reduces the amount of waste generated. Dis-

pose of packaging materials that are no longer needed in

accordance with applicable local regulations.

Note the marking on the diﬀerent packaging materials and

separate them as necessary. The packaging materials are

marked with abbreviations (b) and numbers (a) with the

following meanings:

1–7: Plastics

20–22: Paper and cardboard

80–98: Composites

■ 8 │ US-EN SPBS 5000 B2

Attaching the suction cups

▯To make sure that the suction cups hold ﬁrmly, the surface must be

completely free of dust, oil and grease.

Variant A

Variant A is suitable for attaching the device to a ﬂat, level surface.

♦ Attach all four suction cups to the underside of the device, as shown

in "Figure A."

♦ Push the suction cups into the large holes.

♦ Now fasten the suction cups by sliding them into the narrow openings.

Figure A

♦ You can now attach the device on a ﬂat, level surface using the suction

cups .

SPBS 5000 B2

Variant B

Variant B is suitable for attaching the device to a pane of glass.

♦ Attach the four suction cups to the two brackets , as shown in

"Figure B."

♦ Push the suction cups into the large holes.

♦ Now fasten the suction cups by sliding them into the narrow openings.

♦ Now mount the brackets on the underside of the device by pushing

and locking them in place.

Figure B

♦ You can now attach the device to a pane of glass using the suction cups .

Charging with the solar panel

► Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 95°F. This is

particularly important when using the device inside a motor vehicle.

You can charge the battery of the device with the solar panel . Ensure

that the solar panel is receiving suﬃcient sunlight. As soon as there

is suﬃcient sunlight, the solar LED lights up orange to show that the

battery is being charged. If the solar LED does not light up, there is not

enough sunlight available. In this case, change the location of the device

or place the device in direct sunlight. Once the solar LED lights up

green, the battery is fully charged.

■ 10 │ US-EN SPBS 5000 B2

Charging with the charging cable

If no sunlight is available, you can also charge the device's battery using the

charging cable .

► Only charge the device in dry, indoor areas. When the protective cover

is removed, the device is no longer splash-proof.

► Due to high power consumption, a USB power supply (not included

in package contents) must be used to charge the power bank. Do not

charge the power bank on a desktop computer or laptop USB port.

► To charge the power bank, only use USB power supplies with an output

voltage of 5V and an output current of at least 2.1A.

► Only use the supplied charging cable to charge the power bank!

► Be sure to remove the charging cable after charging is complete

and put the protective cover back in place.

♦ Open the protective cover and connect the Micro-USB plug of the

charging cable to the Micro-USB port of the device.

♦ Connect the USB plug of the charging cable to the USB port on a

USB power supply.

An estimate of the charge level is shown by means of the charge level LEDs .

Compatible devices

You can use the device to charge end devices that require a charging

current of at least 70 mA and a maximum of 2.1A.

If the connected end device requires a current of less than 70 mA or

more than 2.1A, the device will switch itself oﬀ immediately after being

switched on with the ON/OFF button . In this case, check the charger’s

suitability for your end device on the basis of the technical data of your

end device.

▯If the device turns oﬀ automatically due to overload, it can only be

turned back on if it has been charged brieﬂy with a USB power supply

ﬁrst. The device has turned oﬀ automatically due to overload.

Charging external devices

Connect the charging cable of your end device to the USB port on the

device and to your end device.

♦ If charging does not start automatically, press the ON/OFF button

brieﬂy to start the charging process.

The LED lights up for as long as the connected device is being

charged. Once your device is fully charged, the device switches oﬀ. To

interrupt the charging process, you can disconnect the end device. If your

end device is not fully charged and the LED goes out during charg-

ing, this means the device’s battery is discharged.

The device’s battery must be recharged again before you can charge end

devices. Simultaneous charging of the built-in battery and a connected

device is possible in solar operation and via the micro-USB port .

US-EN │ 13 ■

SPBS 5000 B2

Troubleshooting

A connected end device is not charging.

♦ Press the ON/OFF button brieﬂy to start the charging process.

♦ The device’s battery is empty. Charge the battery.

♦ No connection to the device. Check the connection.

♦ The device can be used for end devices that require a charging current

of no more than 2.1A. If the connected end device requires a current of

more than 2.1A, the device will switch itself oﬀ immediately after being

switched on with the ON/OFF button . In this case, check the charg-

er’s suitability for your end device on the basis of the technical data of

your end device.

The device can not be switched on.

♦ The device has turned oﬀ automatically due to overload. You need to

charge the device for a short while with a USB power adapter before

you can switch the device back on.

The device’s battery is not charging via the solar panel.

♦ Check that the solar panel is receiving suﬃcient sunlight.

▯If the above-mentioned solutions do not resolve the problem, please

contact Customer Service (see chapter 3 year limited warranty).

■ 14 │ US-EN SPBS 5000 B2

Cleaning

Damage to the device!

► To avoid irreparable damage to the device, ensure that no moisture

can penetrate the device during cleaning. Make sure the connectors

( + ) form a good seal with the protective cover .

► Do not use caustic, abrasive or solvent-based cleaning materials. These

can damage the surfaces of the device.

▯A dirty solar panel will generate less power.

♦ Clean the surfaces of the device and the solar panel with a soft, dry

cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent.

Storage when not in use

♦ If you do not intend to use the device for a long time, store it in a clean,

dry place away from direct sunlight.

♦ If the device is not going to be used for some time, the battery should

be recharged at regular intervals. This helps to preserve battery perfor-

mance.

Disposal

Electronic devices may not be thrown away as part of normal household

trash. If you can no longer use your electronic device, dispose of it in ac-

cordance with the legal provisions applicable in your state. This will allow

you to ensure that old electronic devices are recycled and environmental

pollution is kept to a minimum. Additional information about disposal is

available on the Internet at www.epa.gov.
