Is your mobile phone always running out of juice in the middle of an important call? Fed up with your iPod battery running out while you’re exercising or running errands? Or you're trekking through the great outdoors, relying on your tunes to keep you motivated and all of a sudden there's silence and the recharging icon is blinking at your from your iPod screen?

Be ready for your next adventure under the sun with your Solarmonkey (solar charger) and Solarnut (backup battery). Power your mobile phone, iPod, PDA, smart phones, MP3 player and many other devices. When the clouds appear, solarnut (backup battery) delivers reserve power so you can always make that important call.

Solar:
The Solar Monkey works via two solar panels which generate an electric current when exposed directly to sunlight, which in turn charges your device. The Solar Monkey solar charger will even work under incandescane lighting i.e. desk lamps
(Please Note: The Solarmonkey panel does NOT hold a charge.)

Battery:
Specially designed to work with the Solarmonkey (solar charger), the included Solarnut (battery) stores solar energy so that if a sunny day turns cloudy or you go indoors charging of your device is not affected. Prodiving 1/3 mobile phone power, giving you 15 minutes talk time or 24 hours standby time.

Note: The Solarmonkey solar charger performs best when outside in direct sunlight, ensure the panels are in full sunlight and soak up those rays! If you have one of the larger smartphones (i.e. iPhone 4/3GS, HTC, etc), we recommend that you purchase the Power Monkey eXplorer as the Solarmonkey solar charger is not suitable.

Q: How can I get the best performance from my solarmonkey?

A: To get the best performance from your solarmonkey, please read the steps below:

- Ensure the solarmonkey is in direct sunlight (glass will not allow the solarmonkey to work efficiently)
- Allow the solarmonkey 30 seconds to soak up the sun before plugging it into your device
- Make sure the solarmonkey is facing the sun and rotate the panels as the sun moves through the sky throughout the day
- Make sure the solar panels are clean and free from any dust or dirt
- Please do not expect the solarmonkey to work on an overcast day or when the solar strength is not at the recommended level

Q: What is the solarnut and why do I need it?: A: The solarnut is a small battery which helps the solarmonkey to charge your device. The solarnut regulates the output power from the panel, so when the panel cannot generate the correct voltageyour device needs, the solarnut will take over. The solarnut can also store enough power to give your device a small charge without the need for it to be connected to the solar panel.

Q: Does the solarmonkey store power?: A: No, the solarmonkey itself does not store power. However, the solarnut can store enough power to give you a small charge on your mobile phone.

Q: What is the solar panel made from?: A: The solar panel is made from polycrystalline which gives it a distinctive look and is sometimes mistakenly deemed as being cracked. The solar panels are then sealed with a special glue which can give a slightly uneven surface to the panel.

Q: Is the solarmonkey waterproof?: A: No, the solarmonkey is water resistant. This means that if it is left outside and it begins to rain, no damage will be done to the panel. The solarmonkey should not be left in the rain for extended periods of time.

Q: How do I charge the solarnut?: A: The solarnut is designed to be charged only by the solarmonkey. You should leave the solarmonkey connected to the solarnut in the sun for around 4 hours to give it a good charge. Please ensure the solarnut is always topped up so it gives best performance.
