MOBILE SOLAR POWER KIT
ITEM NO. 55 82 80
INTENDED USE
The product consists of a solar module and a power station. In sufficient sunlight, a lead-acid
battery is charged in the power station. A removable LED light on the power station can be
attached both by hooks and by the integrated magnetic holder; the connection cable between
the LED light and the power station can be stored inside the power station.
Furthermore, the power station has two USB connections that can be used as charging
sockets for corresponding devices (e.g. mobile telephones, etc.).
The solar module is designed for operation outdoors. However, the power station may not get
damp or wet and must therefore be placed in a suitable, protected, dry place.
Any use other than that described above could lead to damage to this product and involves
the risk of short circuits, fire, electric shock, etc.

c) Accumulator notes
I f the power station has been damaged (e.g. by a fall against a hard surface), there
may also be damage to the lead-acid battery that is installed in the power station.
For this reason, pay attention to the following information on the lead-acid battery:
• A maintenance-free lead-acid rechargeable battery is built into the power station,
which serves to store the energy generated by the solar module. The recharge-
able battery is permanently installed and can only be replaced by a specialist.
Never disassemble the product yourself.
S hould the lead-acid battery be changed, only an original replacement part may
be used.
• W hen using lead batteries, protective clothing and goggles must be worn for
safety reasons.
• L ead batteries contain aggressive, corrosive acids. Avoid any contact of skin or
eyes with liquids from the lead battery! Never try to take lead batteries apart!
Flush skin areas affected thoroughly with water and soap. If you get acid in your
eye, wash it immediately under running, clean, lukewarm water for at least
10 minutes! Then consult a doctor immediately!
I f you get acid on your clothes, wash them immediately with plenty of water and
soap!
• R echargeable batteries must not be short-circuited or thrown into a fire; risk of
explosion and fire!
N ever wear rings, necklaces, watches or the like when handling rechargeable
batteries or charging devices. Short-circuiting the contacts on the rechargeable
battery risks burns and explosions!
• A defective lead-acid battery must be disposed of in an environmentally correct
way. When you do so, you must cover the poles of the battery (e.g. with suitable
insulation tape) to prevent a short circuit.
