NEXTECH QC8057 (01) PDF Document

1. When using the product to supply power to trail cameras, we recommend to also insert 8 type LR6 (AA) batteries to ensure that trail cameras always keep working.

2. In order to ensure that the built-in battery charges and discharges most efficiently, we recommend to charge city electricity fully to the battery in the first use.

3. Do not use sharp objects to scratch the surface of solar panel.

4. When charging in the sun, please put the solar panel towards direct sunlight to guarantee the best charging effect.

5. If the product stops working because of overload protection, please activate it by charging via charger or solar power.

6. If the product works abnormally, please take out the digital devices firstly, and then press the button approx. 10 seconds to reset.

7. When the battery has no enough power, it will stop working.

8. This panel is compatible with our trail cameras that feature an external power port.

9. If your Solar Panel does not seem to be functioning properly or if you are having any issues, please check the FAQ / Troubleshooting section.

1. Before using the product, please ensure that output voltage (gently press the button to display) and working voltage of the digital devices are same. Otherwise, the devices can be damaged, or a fire can be caused.

2. The product does not apply to the digital devices with less that 0.1MA working current.

3. When installing, please put the output interface downwards and seal with silicone stopper. The angle between the panel and ground must not be less than 30° to avoid water inflow and damaging the product.

The package for the NEXTECH QC8057 Solar Panel includes the following parts:

① Solar panel (x1)

② Instruction Manual (x1)

③ Micro USB cable (x1)

④ Output cables (x1)

⑤ Wall mount (x1)

The main features on the NEXTECH QC8057 Solar Panel are:

Solar panel: The front surface that collects solar energy.

Button: Press to display the current battery charge level.

LED indicators: Four LEDs indicate the battery level: 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.

Power output interface: Port to connect the output cable to your trail camera.

Micro USB charging interface: Port for charging the internal battery via a USB cable.

1/4″ nut interface: Threaded socket for connecting the wall mount.

The NEXTECH QC8057 Solar Panel is a supplemental power source for trail cameras. It has an internal lithium-ion power core that is continuously charged by its solar cells when exposed to the sun. Once connected to the camera’s external power input jack, the camera will draw power from the solar panel’s charged battery for as long as possible. It will only switch to its internal batteries when the solar panel’s battery charge is too low. This significantly extends the life of the camera’s batteries.

The NEXTECH QC8057 Solar Panel can be “pre-charged” before field use from a computer’s USB port or a similar power source. This allows it to begin providing supplemental power immediately. To do this, connect a compatible USB cable from the Micro USB charging interface on the Solar Panel to your computer or an adequate power source. The charging indicator LED on the back of the Solar Panel will glow red while charging is in progress and will turn green when charging is complete.

1. Screw the provided mounting bracket into a tree at a point above the camera where the solar panel has unobstructed exposure to the sun for the longest part of the day.

2. With the swivel head firmly attached to the tree bracket, connect the threaded bolt at the end of the swivel head to the 1/4″ mounting socket on the back of the Solar Panel.

3. Loosen the swivel head knob, then aim the Solar Panel so that the solar cells are aimed at the sun.

4. Once aligned, tighten both locking collars.

5. Finally, attach the supplied cable to both the solar panel and the camera and tie up any slack.

Please check if the battery has electricity, and then activate it by charging via charger or solar power.

Please confirm if the working current of the connected digital devices is less than 0.1MA.

Please confirm if the output voltage is low, and then charge the unit or press the button for approximately 10 seconds to reset.

Please confirm if the solar panel is positioned towards direct sunlight or if it is being sheltered by some objects.

Please check the output voltage of the charger you are using.

Please take out digital devices, open the silicone stopper, and then try to use it after 24 hours of air-drying.

Please do not keep the product working for a long time with the maximum output power.

Excessive output current has been detected, and charging has been shut off. Disconnect the USB cable until the Red light stops flashing then try again. If the indicator continues to flash red, try a different power source or discontinue charging.

The NEXTECH QC8057 Solar Panel’s solar cell array will continue to collect and utilize any available or reflected sunlight, but it requires unrestricted, full exposure to the sun to ensure that the internal power core remains fully charged. A fully charged power core is necessary so that the camera can continue to draw supplemental, “booster” voltage from the Solar Panel during overnight hours.
