CHARGING YOUR POWER STATION

CHARGING

Before using your Intrepid 1000 for the first time, fully charge it using the AC cable. The full charge time is about 1.8 hours. When charging, the LCD screen will be lit, the LCD display will provide real- time display data of battery charging, and the device will display 100% when fully charged. It is recommended to fully charge the device every 3 months to maintain the life of the device.

There are three ways to charge your power station:

AC CHARGING
Use the AC charging cable provided to charge the device. It takes 1.5 to 2 hours to full capacity. When battery level reaches 100% and input power is 0, this means the internal battery has been fully charged.

OVERLOAD CONDITION
When the power supply current is unstable due to lightning or other reasons, and there is a large current at the AC input, the overload protection function will activate and cut off the AC input port.

Follow the below steps to restore the AC input function:

1. Turn off the power button and unplug all ports.
2. After confirming there are no issues, turn on the power button.
3. Press the Reset button and connect the AC cable.

12V CAR CHARGER
Use the car charger provided to charge. It takes up to 12 hours to fully charge. When the LCD display shows that the battery power is 100%, it means that the battery is fully charged.

SOLAR CHARGING
Connect the 5525 HPP Cable (included) to your solar panel, then into the HPP Input Port. Position your solar panel to receive direct sunlight. The DC icon will appear on the Power Station display along with the current input watts and estimated recharge time. When the charge percentage reaches 100%, your power station is fully charged.

CAUTION:
Do not connect power sources with different voltages to the HPP port in parallel. Ensure
the voltage at the HPP port does not exceed 50V.

POWERING YOUR DEVICES

POWER UP THE INTREPID
Press the Power button for 2-3 seconds to turn the INTREPID on or off. Your devices will not charge if you skip this step.

PLUG IN YOUR DEVICE
Plug the device you wish to power/charge into the appropriate port. You can charge up to 15 devices at once using the various ports.

TURN ON THE PORT
Press the ON/OFF button corresponding to the port you're using. For example, if you're
charging a device from one or more of the 6 USB ports, press the USB ON/OFF button to activate the ports.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

NEBO OVERDRIVE™
NEBO’s exclusive technology pushes your power station beyond its standard performance by dynamically adjusting the output voltage, so you can run power tools and appliances up to 2000W.

Als Nutzer von unseren Produkten sind für Sie folgende Informationen wichtig:

Getrennte Erfassung von Altgeräten:

Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte, die zu Abfall geworden sind, werden als Altgeräte bezeichnet. Besitzer von Altgeräten müssen diese einer vom unsortierten Siedlungsabfall getrennten Erfassung zuführen. Altgeräte gehören nicht in den Hausmüll, sondern in spezielle Sammel- und Rückgabesysteme.

Batterien und Akkus sowie Lampen:

Besitzer von Altgeräten müssen Altbatterien und Altakkumulatoren, die nicht vom Altgerät umschlossen sind, vor der Abgabe an einer Erfassungsstelle vom Altgerät zu trennen. Dies gilt auch für Lampen, die zerstörungsfrei aus dem Altgerät entnommen werden können. Wenn die Altgeräte einer Vorbereitung zur Wiederverwendung unter Beteiligung eines öffentlich-rechtlichen Entsorgungsträgers zugeführt werden sollen, müssen Batterien und Akkus sowie Lampen nicht entnommen werden.

Möglichkeiten der Rückgabe von Altgeräten:

Besitzer von Altgeräten aus privaten Haushalten können diese bei den Sammelstellen der öffentlichrechtlichen Entsorgungsträger oder bei den von Herstellern oder Vertreibern eingerichteten Rücknahmestellen unentgeltlich abgeben. Rücknahmepflichtig sind Geschäfte mit einer Verkaufsfläche von mindestens 400 m² für Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte sowie diejenigen Lebensmittelgeschäfte mit einer Gesamtverkaufsfläche von mindestens 800 m², die mehrmals pro Jahr oder dauerhaft Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte anbieten und auf dem Markt bereitstellen. Dies gilt auch bei Online- oder Katalog-Vertrieb, wenn die Lager- und Versandflächen für Elektround Elektronikgeräte mindestens 400 m² betragen oder die gesamten Lager- und Versandflächen mindestens 800 m² betragen. Vertreiber haben die Rücknahme grundsätzlich durch geeignete Rückgabemöglichkeiten in zumutbarer Entfernung zum jeweiligen Endnutzer zu gewährleisten. Die Möglichkeit der unentgeltlichen Rückgabe eines Altgerätes besteht bei rücknahmepflichtigen Vertreibern unter anderem dann, wenn ein neues gleichartiges Gerät, das im Wesentlichen die gleichen Funktionen erfüllt, an einen Endnutzer abgegeben wird. Wenn ein neues Gerät an einen privaten Haushalt ausgeliefert wird, kann das gleichartige Altgerät auch dort zur unentgeltlichen Abholung übergeben werden. Dies gilt bei Online- oder Katalog-Vertrieb für Geräte der Kategorien 1, 2 oder 4 gemäß § 2 Abs. 1 ElektroG, nämlich „Wärmeüberträger“, „Bildschirmgeräte“ oder „Großgeräte“ (letztere mit mindestens einer äußeren Abmessung über 50 Zentimeter). Zu einer entsprechenden Rückgabe-Absicht werden Endnutzer beim Abschluss eines Kaufvertrages befragt. Außerdem besteht die Möglichkeit der unentgeltlichen Rückgabe bei Sammelstellen der Vertreiber unabhängig vom Kauf eines neuen Gerätes für Kleingeräte, die in keiner äußeren Abmessung größer als 25 Zentimeter sind, und zwar beschränkt auf drei Altgeräte pro Geräteart.

Datenschutz-Hinweis

Altgeräte enthalten häufig sensible personenbezogene Daten. Dies gilt insbesondere für Geräte der Informations- und Telekommunikationstechnik wie Computer und Smartphones. Bitte beachten Sie in Ihrem eigenen Interesse, dass für die Löschung der Daten auf den zu entsorgenden Altgeräten jeder Endnutzer selbst verantwortlich ist.

Bedeutung des Symbols „durchgestrichene Mülltonne“

Das auf Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten regelmäßig abgebildete Symbol einer durchgestrichenen Mülltonne weist darauf hin, dass das jeweilige Gerät am Ende seiner Lebensdauer getrennt vom unsortierten Siedlungsabfall zu erfassen ist.
