Procedure for use

■Setup

Connect the cord reel unit to the mobile battery.
Connect the cable (USB-A, micro USB) intended for connecting the mobile battery inside the front open pocket of your suitcase, while carefully noting the front and rear faces of the connector.
* The connection port of the mobile battery is intended to protect the connector, so it is made deeper than normal. Push the connector firmly into this port. Note that if you connect another charging device to it, a load will be applied to the connection terminals of the cable, which in turn may result in damage.

■Charging the mobile battery

① Connect an external power supply to the input port (micro USB port) for charging the mobile battery at the upper part of the cord reel unit, and charge the mobile battery.

② Check the amount of electricity stored in the battery by observing the status of the LED indicator lamps (blue).

③ If all four of the LED indicator lamps (blue) of the mobile battery are lit, it means that charging has been completed. Disconnect the external power supply from the product.

■Charging a smartphone

Charging Android device

① If you connect a smartphone to the output cable (micro USB) or the output cable (USB-A port) in the front open pocket, charging will automatically start, and the LED indicator lamp(green) on the cord reel unit will light to inform you of this status.

② When a smartphone or other device is fully charged, or when the remaining battery capacity becomes 0%, the cord reel unit LED indicator lamp (green) goes out to inform you that charging has been completed. For details of the charging condition, check your smartphone.

* You can also start and stop charging directly by using the power switch on the mobile battery.

* In the case where the output cable (micro USB) of the cord reel unit is used simultaneously with the output cable (USB-A) in the front open pocket, the output will reach a total maximum of 2.1 A. If you attempt to charge a device at a current exceeding 2.1 A, it may sometimes be impossible for charging to take place normally. In this case, carry out charging using only one of the two output cables.

Charging an iPhone or an iPad

① Either connect a conversion connector compatible with Apple products to the output cable (micro USB) of the cord reel unit, or connect a cable compatible with Apple products to the output cable (USB-A port) in the front open pocket. As a result, the LED indicator lamp (green) on the cord reel unit will light for about 30 seconds until the auto power OFF function operates.

② While the LED indicator lamp (green) on the cord reel unit is lit, connect an iPhone or an iPad. As a result, charging will start.

③ When the connected iPhone or iPad is fully charged, or the remaining battery capacity of the mobile battery becomes 0%, the LED indicator lamp (green) on the cord reel unit will go out, indicating that charging has been completed. Check the charging condition using the iPhone or iPad.

* If the LED indicator lamp (green) on the cord reel unit goes out due to the operation of the auto power OFF function, first disconnect all of the connected adapters and cables, and then reconnect them, or directly press the power switch on the mobile battery. As a result, the LED indicator lamp (green) will light, and charging will start.

* If you use the output cable (micro USB) of the cord reel unit to charge an iPhone or iPad, the maximum charging current will be 1 A.

* To charge an iPad at 2.1 A, connect a cable compatible with Apple products to the output cable (USB-A) in the front open pocket, and charge the iPAD as an independent unit.

* Check the remaining battery capacity of the mobile battery during charging, by observing the LED indicator lamps (blue) on the mobile battery.

* When all of the LED indicator lamps (blue) on the mobile battery have gone out, charge the mobile battery.

■Precautions (Product features)

* You cannot charge a smartphone while the mobile battery is being charged. If you connect both devices simultaneously, charging of the smartphone will stop, and charging of the mobile battery will take place preferentially.

* Depending upon the specifications of the smartphone, the auto power OFF function of the mobile battery may operate, causing charging to stop before the smartphone is fully charged.

* When using this product, if the internal temperature of the mobile battery becomes greater than a certain value (When storing electricity in the mobile battery: 45°C, When charging a device: 60°C), the safety circuit will function, the LED indicator lamps (blue) will go out, and charging will stop. In this case, wait until the temperature of the mobile battery falls and then use the product again. When using the product, take care that heat does not accumulate in the front of the open pocket of your suitcase due to exposure to direct sunlight, for example.

Precautions for use

■Introduction

● This product is a charger. Do not use it for any other than its intended purpose.

● Use this product with a smartphone (model which has micro USB terminals) and also the iPhone iPod and iPad series. (Separately obtain a cable compatible with Apple products, or a conversion adapter compatible with Apple products.) Please note that we will not be responsible for trouble arising as a result of using this product with non-specified components.

■Contents concerning the mobile battery

● The mobile battery is intended exclusively for use with this suitcase.

● The mobile battery stores our stipulated amount of charge. However, this is not the same as a full charge. Also, because the internal battery discharges naturally, there are cases in which the mobile battery stops working even after a short time. We recommend, therefore, that you always charge the mobile battery prior to use.

● The charging capacity of the internal battery falls to some extent along with the passage of time. The mobile battery reaches the end of its life after about 500 charging cycles. Once the mobile battery reaches this point, it can only be used for an extremely short time after each charge.

● If you do not intend using the mobile battery for a long period, charge it prior to storage, and be sure to charge it once every six months thereafter. Note that if you do not use the mobile battery for at least six months, its storage function will be lost, and in some cases it may be impossible to recharge it.

● While the iPhone, iPod or iPad series is being charged, the remaining capacity of the lithium ion polymer contained in the mobile battery decreases. On rare occasions this may cause a message such as “You cannot use this accessory” to appear. Note, however, that this does not mean that there is a fault in this product or the iPhone, iPod or iPad. Charge this product.

● While the lithium ion polymer battery contained in the mobile battery is being charged, if charging abruptly stops it is conceivable that the protection IC has operated. In such a case, disconnect the cables from the devices to which they were connected, and charge the mobile battery.

● Depending upon the condition of use, there are some cases in which the connected devices cannot be charged, even if the LED indicator lamps are lit. In this case, charge the mobile battery.

■Contents concerning general chargers

● Sometimes, a chargeable device, whose battery has been run down to the level that the initial screen no longer appears even if you hold down the power supply button, cannot always be charged, even by holding down the power supply button. In such a case, use a genuine charger.

*Do not wait for the battery in the chargeable device to completely run down. Charge it without delay.

● Check the charged condition by observing the chargeable device. The charging level indication on some chargeable devices does not rise. If the battery level on a chargeable device does not rise even after the device has been charged for a long time, switch OFF the chargeable device, and then switch it ON again.

● Depending upon the condition of the smartphone or the battery, the charging indicator lamp of the smartphone may sometimes fail to light immediately after the charger has been connected. In such a case, after the lapse of the preliminary charging time, the lamp will light and the main charging will start.

● Depending upon the firmware version of the chargeable device, its OS, and other factors, charging may sometimes fail to take place.

● Some chargeable devices do not have a charging indicator lamp.

● Even while charging is taking place, you can make or receive telephone calls, send and receive e-mails, perform data communication, play music, play games, or use a TV phone. In these cases, the charging capacity will be reduced.

● The charging situation will change according to the chargeable device, and the conditions of use.

● Before carrying out charging, be sure to make a copy of each memory registered in the chargeable device.

● You cannot transmit and receive data using this product.

● The names of companies, products, and so on indicated in this manual are generally trademarks or registered trademarks of the respective companies.

● Accessories of this product are made of metal and plastic. It is dangerous to burn them, so when scrapping them follow the correct procedure stipulated by the local authorities. When discarding the mobile battery, place it in the “small rechargeable battery recycle box” located in front of some supermarkets, electrical stores, and hardware stores.

■Contents regarding cable connections

● Connectors are precision parts. When plugging or unplugging a connector, grasp the connector body while noting the connection direction, and be sure to insert the connector carefully in the correct direction.

● When using or storing a connector, take care not to apply an impact to it, bend it, or apply pressure to it. This may result in damage or a breakdown.

● Do not use a connector even if it is only slightly deformed or damaged. Also, do not use a connector to which foreign matter is adhering.

● Depending upon the chargeable device, the connector may sometimes be difficult to insert, so take great care when inserting it.

● After connecting this product, if you find that a connection is unstable, check the connecting point of each connector, and then reconnect the connectors.

● Do not use this product connected via a USB hub, or the like. Connect it directly to the chargeable device.

● After use, be sure to disconnect all of the connectors, and store the product in a safe place.
