Storing myPower ALL Plus  
Lithium polymer batteries must be used consistently for maximum performance. Therefore, if you do not  
use the battery often, once a month you should discharge and recharge the battery to 40% (if it will be  
transported) or 70% (for long term storage), and store it in a cool and dry environment at a temperature  
between 50° and 86° F (10° and 30°C). You may permanently damage your battery’s capacity by storing  
the battery without any capacity in the cell. It is important that you do not leave the battery in the interior  
of a vehicle parked in the sun, or exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.  
USER GUIDE

Prolonging Battery Life  
Extreme heat and cold will affect your battery’s performance. At temperatures above 80°F (27°C), the  
battery will discharge more quickly, and in colder temperatures, the battery won’t charge well. Therefore,  
it is recommended that the battery is used at room temperature, or between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).  
The battery must be used at temperatures between 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).  
It is not recommended that the battery is charged in temperatures above 104°F (40°C), and the battery  
capacity may be permanently damaged if you use your battery in temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C).  
You may damage the battery even more if you charge the device in these temperatures. You may find that  
using the battery in a very cold environment decreases the battery capacity. Unlike the effects of a hot  
environment, this is a temporary condition. Once warmed, the battery will return to its previous capacity.  
Charging myPower ALL Plus  
myPower ALL Plus will charge in four hours when completely empty. The green Charge indicator will turn on  
after the battery is 80% charged. Therefore, you should view the actual battery capacity before disconnecting the  
power adapter to stop charging. (Before using myPower ALL Plus for the first time,  
you must charge the device for four hours.)  
1. Plug the power adapter into the DC IN jack on the end of myPower ALL Plus.  
2. Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. The red Charge indicator will turn on to indicate the battery is  
charging and is less than 80% charged.  
3. When the green Charge indicator turns on, and with the Power switch set to OFF, or with the Power switch  
set to ON and the device connected, press the voltage selector to view the battery capacity. If the capacity  
does not indicate full (all blue LEDs on), continue to charge the battery until the battery capacity indicates full.  
(For additional information, see “View myPower ALL Plus Battery Capacity.”)  
NOTE: myPower ALL Plus will automatically shut down the power input when fully charged, so you can charge  
it overnight.  
4
Charging with a Third Party Power Supply  
You can use a third party power supply to charge myPower ALL Plus as long as it has DC output voltage range  
from 12V to 20V, with a minimum 1.5A output current. myPower ALL Plus will not charge its internal battery if  
the input current is lower than 1.5A. To fit the DC jack, the DC plug must have an outside diameter of 5.5mm  
and an inside diameter of 2.1mm (5.5 x 2.1mm).  
If you would like to use one power supply for both your laptop and myPower ALL Plus, use the power supply  
with the highest output current (Amps). For example, if the output of your laptop’s power supply is 19V 4.0A,  
while the output of the myPower ALL Plus power supply is 20V 3.0A, use your laptop charger to charge both  
myPower ALL Plus and your laptop.  
If your laptop power supply plug does not fit into the myPower ALL Plus DC IN port, you can use an optional input  
adapter tip, available at the Tekkeon online store.  
USER GUIDE  
5
Charging with a Solar Panel  
myPower ALL Plus can be charged using a compatible solar panel. You can charge the device using the DC IN port  
(5.5 x 2.1mm), or the 3-Pin Input Port.  
The DC IN port is designed for use with a DC power adapter with constant current input. Charging myPower ALL  
Plus requires a minimum of 1.5A current output from the solar panel. In general, a 25W or higher solar panel should  
provide sufficient power to charge myPower ALL Plus.  
The bottom row of the 6-Pin Input Port is designed to allow charging by smaller solar panels (lower than 25W),  
and requires an optional Smart 3-Pin Adapter (Sunbooster) available from Tekkeon (see Accessories). To use the  
solar panel with this port, the solar panel must have a minimum open circuit voltage of 12V. However, there is no  
minimum output current requirement from the solar panel.  
1. Connect the solar panel output cable into the DC IN port on myPower ALL Plus.  
2. Verify that the red charging indicator turns on to indicate the battery is charging and is less than 80% charged.  
3. After approximately four hours, press the Capacity Display button to view the battery capacity. If the capacity  
does not indicate full (all blue LEDs on), continue to charge the battery  
until the battery capacity indicates full.  
4. When the battery capacity indicates full,  
unplug the connected charging cable.  
To Charge through the 3-Pin Input Port  
1. Connect the Smart 3-Pin Adapter Bracket on to the end  
of myPower ALL Plus (shown).  
2. Connect the 3-Pin end of the Smart 3-Pin  
Adapter into the bottom row of the  
6-Pin Input Port on myPower ALL Plus  
(shown) and the other end into the solar panel  
output port.

3. Verify that the charging indicator next to the input jack on the Smart 3-Pin Adapter (shown) turns on to  
indicate the battery is charging.  
4. After approximately four hours, press the Capacity Display button to view the battery capacity. If the capacity  
does not indicate full (all blue LEDs on), continue to charge the battery until the battery capacity indicates full.  
5. When the battery capacity indicates full, unplug the connected charging cable.  
Using myPower ALL Plus  
myPower ALL Plus can be used to power and/or charge up to two portable devices simultaneously.  
With devices that require higher voltage levels, like laptop computers and portable DVD players,  
we recommend that you use myPower ALL Plus only to power the device. You will find that powering without  
charging your higher voltage device will maximize the battery life of myPower ALL Plus, thus letting you use your  
portable device even longer.  
To use myPower ALL Plus to power and/or charge your device, take these steps which are described in detail in  
the following sections.  
• Select an adapter plug for your main device and connect the plug to the output cord.  
• Connect the power output cord to myPower ALL Plus.  
• Slide the Power switch to on.  
• Adjust the voltage level to match that of your main device.  
• Connect the adapter plug/output cord to your main device.  
• Connect a second 5V device

WARNING: myPower ALL Plus supports Center Positive polarity only. If your device has a Center Negative  
polarity, do not power the device with myPower ALL Plus; contact [email protected]  
for assistance.  
3. Connect the adapter plug to the power output  
cord (but not the device).  
If you are using a UA-xxx adapter (rather than  
PA-xxx), you must insert the PA-L34 (“Z”)  
adapter that came with your myPower ALL Plus  
between the adapter cord and UA-xxx adapter  
PA-L34 (“Z”)

as shown.  
myPower ALL Plus  
NOTE: If you change the adapter plug while the  
power adapter cord is connected to myPower  
ALL Plus, the voltage setting will reset to the  
lowest voltage, which is the default voltage  
setting.  
8
Connect the Power Output Cord  
1. Plug the large end of the power output cord into the DC OUT jack on the end of myPower ALL Plus.  
(If you have previously selected a voltage, the voltage selection will be returned to the lowest setting.)  
Adjust the Voltage Level  
1. Locate the voltage specification for your portable device. This can be found on the  
device power adapter label or device specification label which typically is found on  
the bottom of the unit. (If available, use the voltage specification shown on the power adapter.)  
2. Slide the power switch to ON. The 5V voltage indicator will turn on to indicate that  
the voltage is set to the lowest setting.  
3. Connect the output cable to the DC OUT port.  
4. Press the voltage selector until the voltage indicator for your voltage selection  
(5, 6, 7.5, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19) turns on. Set the voltage output to the selection that  
is equal to, or one step lower or higher (whichever is closer) than the voltage  
identified for your device. For example, if your device requires 6V, set the voltage  
to 6V. If you device requires 7.2V, set the voltage to 7.5V. The voltage will be  
automatically locked when the device is connected and the light behind the  
voltage selector will glow to indicate the voltage is locked.

Adapter Label  
5. To change the voltage, disconnect the output cable from the device, and select a new voltage.  
The voltage will be automatically locked after a device is connected.  
CAUTION: It is important to set the voltage selector NO MORE than one step higher than the voltage requirement for  
the portable device as an incorrect setting may prevent myPower ALL Plus from working with your device, or may  
harm your device in the rare instance that the device accepts the higher voltage. However, for all devices, adjusting  
the voltage ONLY one step higher than required will not harm the device.

TIP: You can optimize the use of myPower ALL Plus with your laptop computer or portable DVD player by setting  
the voltage on myPower ALL Plus to less than the required voltage shown on the laptop computer power supply.  
This prevents myPower ALL Plus from charging the device, thus extending the amount of time you can use  
myPower ALL Plus to power your laptop computer.  
Most laptop computers have a battery voltage of 11.1V or 14.8V, allowing them to be powered with 12V or  
14V. Therefore, it is recommended that you set the voltage to 12V first, and then test to see if it will power your  
laptop. If not, increase the voltage to 14V, and retest. Repeat this process until you reach the voltage that will  
power your laptop.  
Most portable DVD players require 9 or 12 volts. Set the voltage to 7.5V and test to see if myPower ALL Plus will  
power your device at this setting. If not, increase the voltage by one level and retest.

Troubleshooting  
If myPower ALL Plus does not power the portable device or charge the device battery, take these steps:  
1. Verify that the current consumption of the portable device is not more than 4.0 Amp. If the device consumes  
more than the maximum provided by myPower ALL Plus, the device will shut down when turned on and  
cannot be powered and/or charged by myPower ALL Plus.  
2. Verify that the device does not require more than 19V. If the device requires more, MP3450 R2 will not be able to  
charge the device. However, in most but not all cases, MP3450 R2 will be able to power the device.  
3. View the remaining battery capacity. If it is below 25%, recharge myPower ALL Plus.  
4. Check that the output cord is connected to both myPower ALL Plus and the portable device, and that the  
adapter plug fits snugly into the power jack on your portable device. If not, try another adapter.  
5. Verify that the polarity of the device power jack is Center Positive. If the polarity is Center Negative, please  
contact [email protected] for assistance.  
Center Positive Symbol  
Center Negative Symbol  
6. Check that the output voltage for your portable device matches or is just below the output voltage set on  
myPower ALL Plus. If the output voltage is not correct, unplug the output cable from the portable device, and  
change the voltage as required.  
7. Verify that a battery is installed in the portable device as some devices will not function without a battery  
installed.  
8. Verify if your device is designed with charging circuitry that limits the input voltage. If so, myPower ALL Plus  
may not be able to power or charge the device. (For example, if a device is designed to accept only a 10.2V  
input, then myPower ALL Plus may not be able to power or charge the device.)
