Single LED output light
When the powerchimp 4A is charging a 5V
device and the female USB to micro USB cable
(3) is still attached, the single LED output light
at the top of the unit will illuminate solid green.
This is not an indication of the device being
fully charged.
Please note: You must always remove the
cable when you are not using the powerchimp
4A to conserve the battery's power.
When the single LED output light turns from
solid green to solid red while you are charging a
device, this indicates that the battery capacity is
getting low and it needs recharging.
If the output light illuminates solid red or does
not show any light when the female USB to
micro USB cable still attached, this means the
wrong battery is being used or it is the wrong
polarity. Please check the batteries are inserted
correctly and remove cable to protect batteries
from over-discharging. It can also mean that the
batteries are low and that they need recharging.

LED charging indicators
The row of four LED input indicator lights will
light up first red then green; this will repeat three
times. Then the red light will light up once to
determine which slots are in use.
Once the battery inside each compartment is fully
charged, the corresponding LED will turn green.
