How to operate the NC10000?
The NC10000 is automatically activated when connecting to (charge from) a power source or (charge) another device.
When the power bank is on, tapping the switch once can turn off the charging (to other devices)
How to turn on/off the LED in the NC10000
- Press and hold down the switch for 3 seconds to turn on the LED when the light is off.
- Press and hold down the switch for 3 seconds again to turn off the LED when the light is on,
Or
- Double tap the switch to shut down the power bank and the light when the light is on
- Tap the switch again to turn on the LED again.
Note: It could be confusing when the two operations above are mixed. If one double click the switch to turn off the light, a long press won't turn on the light. If that happens, try both single tap and long press again to activate the light. This is a design decision rather than a defect.
