The LCD display on the SMARTEK SOLUTIONS PSE-12175A provides the following information:

• BATTERY LEVEL: Shows the remaining battery percentage.

• USB OUTPUT: This icon appears when any of the USB ports are in use.

• DC OUTPUT: This icon appears when the 12V DC ports are in use.

• AC OUTPUT: This icon appears when the AC port is in use.

If your SMARTEK SOLUTIONS PSE-12175A is not charging, check to ensure that the input cord is fully inserted into the input port. Also, confirm that the charger you are using is the one that was provided with the unit or a compatible solar panel.

If you are experiencing weak or no power output from your SMARTEK SOLUTIONS PSE-12175A, check the battery level on the LCD screen. If it is at 20% or below, recharge the power station. Also, ensure your device is suitable for use with the power station by checking that its power requirement does not exceed the capacity of the power station’s outputs.

If your SMARTEK SOLUTIONS PSE-12175A isn’t powering your device, it could be due to a surge in power required to start your device. Even if your device has a rated wattage within the AC port’s limit of 120W, some appliances may have a startup surge or a “momentary load” that exceeds the power station’s capacity. This can trigger the safety features and shut down the output.

To confirm that your SMARTEK SOLUTIONS PSE-12175A is charging, look at the LCD display. The battery icon will be flashing when the unit is charging. The icon will stop flashing once the power station is fully charged.

Yes, the SMARTEK SOLUTIONS PSE-12175A has an automatic shut-down feature. If the AC or DC output is not used for a period of 12 hours, the power station will automatically power down to conserve battery life.
