Introduction As you will soon find out, sChargers are very unique high powered solar chargers. They are capable of charging USB rechargeable devices directly from the sun. They do not need internal batteries that can become discharged. They will actually run a cell phone directly from the sun while you are using it. They utilize fairly complex circuitry that makes them very simple to use.
Try to be patient and let the sCharger do its job See a video at www.suntactics.com/videos iPad, Samsung, Other Tablet Devices and High Power Readers The sCharger-5 is at its best with smaller USB devices, but it is capable of charging tablets as well just a little slower. The latest iPads can take longer because their larger battery sizes.
Some devices may make a signal sound when in auto mode, this is normal and is a nice indicator that your phone is still charging and not to forget about it. www.suntactics.com/Auto-Retry The Manual Port (S8 and S14 solar chargers) The manual port is a solid source of power.
Cleaning and Caring for your sCharger Suntactics sChargers are very rugged and can handle a lot of abuse. We just ask to take care and not fold the panel backwards. Fold with the panel in the direction where the solar cells meet.
Troubleshooting Note that some of the troubleshooting items are not sCharger specific problems. Some of these problems can happen regardless of what charger you are using. Solar chargers in general will not charge at full capacity through glass especially UV filtered glass. Glass blocks a large portion of the sun’s rays, so charging through glass (such as on the dash of a car or energy efficiency windows) may not work as well.
Troubleshooting incompatible or error messages If the phone or tablet displays an incompatibility or error message, it basically translates to it needing more power. These messages will not, in any way, harm your iPhone. It is an indication the sCharger is not outputting the full energy needed to activate the iDevices’s internal charger.
