Charging the battery

You have three ways to charge the radio:

Solar panel
Expose the solar panel (11) to sunlight to generate electricity to charge the radio. This method is normally used to maintain daily operation and not as the main power source. The charging LED (16) will flash during charging.

Hand crank
Unfold the hand crank (12) on the back of the radio. Crank by hand either clockwise or counterclockwise for 3-5 minutes to activate the internal battery for first use, or if the unit has not been used for more than 60 days. For further charging, turn the crank for 2-3 minutes to generate power for approximately 15-20 minu- tes of LED light, or 15-20 minutes of radio operation at medium volume. The charging LED (16) will flash during charging.

Micro-USB
Connect the supplied micro-USB cable to the micro-USB input (9) of the radio. Connect the cable to a suitable power supply (5V DC, 800mA, not included). The charging LED (16) flashes during charging. Remove the power supply once fully charged.
Note: If the battery is overcharged or short-circuited, the device switches off automatically. If the battery voltage drops below 2.5 V, the device switches off automatically.
