5. Four steps to solar sharing

Ready to get started? Four simple steps make up the Changers system – produce energy, measure energy,
consume energy and share energy information.
In principle, it is possible to connect any solar module that meets the technical specifications in
Chapter 7 to the battery. However, we recommend the use of Changers solar panels.
• Plug the DC plug of the solar module into the SUN input jack.
• Make sure that the solar module is securely mounted by the included suction cups
or other tools. Set up your solar panel for optimal solar charging.
• As soon as sufficient light falls on the solar module, the horizontal energy display
will begin to flash green. Watching the blinking frequency of the status display will
let you calibrate the best position for your panel. Faster blinking means more energy,
so change the angle of your panel for optimum power.
Your Kalhuohfummi constantly measures the power generated by the Maroshi solar
module, and stores these values internally. The memory contains the last 1000 values of
the solar-energy collector.
When these values are uploaded to the Changers.com community, the CO
amount of energy produced are displayed graphically for easy reference. This information is
then saved, and added to your user profile.
With the Kalhuohfummi you can charge a large selection of mobile devices – game consoles,
phones, tablets and music players, given they have a USB based charging standard and fit
one of the included adapters. Each of the included adapters is suitable for a different device.
Before you begin charging, ensure that the device has a suitable charging voltage for a 5 volt
supply. Too high electric voltage will cause damage.
• Connect the USB charging cable to the POWER OUT port of the Kalhuohfummi.
• Connect the device with the USB cable to begin charging.
• If in the rare case it is not recognized, please reactivate the output manually by
briefly pressing the status button.
• The intelligent charging electronics makes it possible to simultaneously charge
your Kalhuohfummi and your mobile device.
For some devices, such as the apple iPhone and various navigation systems, please use the
cable supplied by the manufacturer. Make sure the connectors match the specifications (see
Chapter 7, Technical Data). The compatibility may not always be completely guaranteed.
