Carefully insert the two rechargeable batteries supplied into the recharger, ensuring that you correctly position the +ve and -ve ends of each battery, then set the switch to Charging. Decide whether you will be charging the batteries using the solar panel OR by computer via a USB connection. If by solar energy, place the solar single panel in direct sunlight. The typical charging time for one AAA battery is 3 hours, and for two AAA batteries is 6 hours in intense sunlight.

When the batteries are charged, they can be used in two ways.:

• Insert these now charged batteries in your device that uses AAA batteries.
• Leave the now charged batteries in the charger, move the switch to Output and connect the device using the USB universal cable to which is attached to the correct jack.

Depending on the capacity of your device's battery, typically it may provide an average of 4 hours standby time or 10 minutes talk time for mobile phones. When the device is charged, place the solar recharger in sunlight again, and start the process again. You can leave the recharger in the sun whilst discharging.
