Solar Panel Operating Instructions
1. Charge the Panel via Sunlight
a. Open the Solar Panel and keep it facing the sunlight
as shown in Figure 1. The LED indicator on the
DC 6V input will become Green, indicating that the
lithium battery is being charged. The stonger the
sunlight intensity, the stronger the charging current.
b. Charging times can range from 8-12 hours depending
upon the intensity of the sun.

a. This is the process to charge the battery when direct sunlight
is not available. Plug the Power/Charging cable into the
“DC 6V IN” connector on the bottom side of the solar panel
as shown in Figure 2. It is not required that solar panel need
to be opened when using the PC’s USB plug. Note: The
Power cord and charging cord are the same. The function is
determined by when connector is used on the Solar Panel.
b. Connect the other end of the Power/Charging cord to the USB connector on the PC. The
“LED” beside the “DC 6V IN” will light up indicating that the Lithium battery is charging.
Charging time should be approximately 6 hours for a full charge.
Note: After the Solar Panel has been in the sunlight for at least 15 minutes, the Acroprint Time
Clock can be connected to the Solar Panel using the Power/Charging connector, but it is
recommended that the Solar Panel lithium battery be fully charged before being placed into
operation.

3. Clock Operation with the Solar Panel
a. When the Solar panel has been fully charged, it can be connected to the Acroprint Time Clock
via the supplied Power/Charging cable. First connect the round 1.3mm connector to the Time
Clock power jack located on the rear of the clock in the bottom right corner.
b. Next, connect the “USB” connector to the Solar Panel
as shown in Figure 3.
c. After the “USB” connector has been plugged in, move
the power switch from the “OFF” position to the “6V”
position. A “GREEN” led should illuminate indicating
that the Solar Panel is now active and supplying power
to the Time Clock. The Clock will advance the time 1 or
2 minutes when this step is complete.
d. Set the correct time on the Time Clock.
