Installation

Installation through OBD II plug:
To connect through your OBD II plug, first locate your vehicle's Data Link Connector
(DLC).
On most vehicles the DLC is located under the driver's side dashboard/steering column.
In some vehicles it may be concealed behind a panel. If you are unable to find the DLC,
consult the vehicle's service manual for the exact location. Insert your OBD II plug into
the vehicle's DLC port. You are now ready to charge!
NOTE: Your DLC (OBDII) port must be live when the engine is off to enable a charge. If
you are unsure of this, please consult your vehicle's service manual.
Installation through 12 Volt DC Plug:
Plug the 12V DC Plug into the 12 Volt DC socket in vehicle. Make sure both ends are
secured and aligned correctly. For optimal power, ensure the panel (solar cell up) is
directly facing the sun. You are now ready to charge!
NOTE: Your 12V DC socket must be live when the engine is off to enable a charge. If
you are unsure of this, please consult your vehicle's service manual.
Installation to Battery by Alligator Clamps:
Connect the alligator clamps correctly by matching the red clamp which is Positive (+) to
the Positive (+) Terminal on your battery. Connect the black clamp which is Negative (-)
to the Negative (-) Terminal on your battery. For optimal power, ensure the panel (solar
cell up) is directly facing the sun. You are now ready to charge!
WARNING: Follow this battery connection carefully to not cause any bodily harm. Wrong
connections may cause a spark or explosion
Mounting With Suction Cups to the Windshield:
Insert the 2 Suction Cups into the predrilled ends of the solar panel. Make sure they are
secured properly in the panel. Choose a location preferably facing the sun and attach to
the windshield or other glass surface. For best results, ensure windshield is dry, clean,
room temperature and slightly lubricate the suction cups before mounting.
NOTE:
This solar panel has a built in blocking diode to prevent reverse discharge. The use of
this panel is not recommended while vehicle is in use. When operating your vehicle it is
best to secure the solar panel in the glove box or under the seat.
