Use the built-in cable to charge up Venture 30 from a live USB source. A new Venture 30 comes in a protective mode to prevent self-discharge, potentially caused by long periods of inactivity, like shipping.
The Venture 30 will not charge your gear until it is plugged into a live USB source.
Venture 30 allows for pass-through power so you can charge your gear and Venture 30 at the same time. When Venture 30's battery is dead, the first blue indicator light will flash when the Battery button is pushed.
Venture 30 is engineered to charge quickly from Goal Zero Nomad® Solar Panels.
Blue indicator lights will flash according to how quickly Venture 30 is charging. A slow flash indicates a slow charge, while quicker flashing indicates faster charging.
When charging from solar, angle your panel toward the sun to see how it affects charging.
Venture 30 is designed to charge POV cameras, phones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices.
Venture 30's advanced smart charging feature allows you to optimize and adapt its USB outputs to charge your gear as fast as possible. This sequence runs independently for both USB ports – meaning you can set different charging profiles for each port. Fastest profiles will be applied and saved until reset or the sequence is run again.
HOW IT WORKS: You might have noticed if you plug your device into a charger claiming a high output your device still charges slowly. How quickly your device charges comes down to communication between the charger and what you plug in. Every device has its own preference when it comes to charging, the challenge is identifying the language used by the manufacturer to decode that preference. Venture 30's smart charging feature acts as a translator, identifying your device's language, decoding and applying the fastest charging profile possible, without overcharging or overheating. This feature makes Venture 30 one of the most compatible chargers on the market.
We recommend running the smart charge sequence anytime you experience slow charge times or when plugging in new gear.
Venture 30 comes with a built-in 65 lumen flashlight with three settings: high, low, and strobe.
TURN ON/OFF
Press the Flashlight button to turn on the 65 lumen flashlight.
FLASHLIGHT SETTINGS
Whichever mode you are in when you release the Flashlight button will become the default mode. Avoid looking into the light when you turn it on – it's pretty dang bright.
Venture 30 comes equipped with an IPX6 rating. Spray it down, take it to the beach, leave it in the rain – and never worry about rubber plugs. It's engineered to get out, stay out and handle whatever Mother Nature can throw your way – even a quick drop in a puddle.
Do not submerge Venture 30.
If you won't be using Venture 30 for long periods of time, reactivate the shipping/storage mode to prevent self-discharge. This also resets Venture 30 to default factory settings.
Used to erase all saved charging profiles and set Venture 30 to shipping/storage mode.
Lost charging cable? That's OK, Venture 30 can be charged from any micro-USB cable. You can also buy a new one from us at GoalZero.com
