Tekkeon Tekcharge Mp1580 User Manual

MP1580 User Guide  
Overview  
TekCharge MP1580 takes advantage of AA batteries to provide emergency power to  
mobile phones, smartphones, iPod/iPhone, MP3 players, PDAs, digital camcorders,  
eBooks, GPS and more. This small mobile charger includes a voltage regulator so it won’t  
harm your device or its battery. As an added bonus, TekCharge MP1580 doubles as a  
battery charger, so you can charge your rechargeable AA batteries as needed.  
TekCharge connects to your device in two ways: you can use an adapter to connect to your  
device, or you can use your USB device cable, bypassing the need for an extra adapter.  
Micro USB and mini USB adapters are included for most mobile phone and smartphone  
models. These same adapters also may work with your eBooks, MP3 players, PDAs,  
portable media players and other small devices. If the extra adapter you need isn’t in the  
order more adapters for a nominal fee.

Troubleshooting  
If TekCharge MP1580 does not power your portable device or charge the device battery, take  
these steps:  
1. Check the battery status to ensure that the AA batteries are good, or that the rechargeable  
batteries are charged.  
2. Check that the input/output cord is connected to both TekCharge and the portable device,  
and that the adapter plug fits snugly into the power jack on your portable device. If not, try  
another adapter.  
3. If connecting TekCharge to a device with a DC jack, verify that the polarity of the device  
power jack is center positive. If the polarity is center negative, do not power the device with  
TekCharge as it does not support center negative.  
Center Positive  
Center Negative  
4. Verify that a battery is installed in the portable device as some devices will not function  
without a battery installed.  
5. Verify if your device is designed with charging circuitry that limits the input voltage. If so,  
TekCharge MP1580 may not be able to power or charge the device. (For example, if a  
device is designed to accept only a 4.2V input, then TekCharge MP1580 may not be able to  
power or charge the device.)  
If TekCharge MP1580 shuts down after connection to your portable device:  
1. Verify that the portable device does not require more than 1000mA. If so, DO NOT attempt  
to charge your device using TekCharge.
