It's recommended to stand behind the panel when unfolding it to save effort. Check the dot shadow on the solar angle guide to adjust the brackets, and let the https://manuals.ecoflow.com/eu/product/160w-solar-panel?lang=en_US 3/17...
90° angle and the highest power output. Power Your Devices Prerequisites You can connect the panel to an EcoFlow portable power station to store power, or to an EcoFlow smart device to power the device directly.
Connect the other end of the charging cable to the solar input port (XT )³ the device to complete connection. If the port is not of the XT60 variety, refer to the device's user manual for connection instructions. https://manuals.ecoflow.com/eu/product/160w-solar-panel?lang=en_US 5/17...
Make sure the cables were connected firmly before use to avoid port melting caused by bad connection. If the panel is connected to an EcoFlow device, you can check real-time output data on the screen of the device or on the device's homepage of EcoFlow app.
Then, connect the solar to XT60i charging cable with the output cables of the first and the last panels. If the cables fall short, you can use solar extension cables for extra distances. https://manuals.ecoflow.com/eu/product/160w-solar-panel?lang=en_US 7/17...
