PHONE CHARGING
The standard USB output port can be used to charge mobile devices. The radio has a 2000mAh power capacity when fully charged.
USB Charging
- To charge the radio, insert the supplied USB cable into the USB power source and plug the Micro-USB connector into the input port on the right side of the radio.
- The charging indicator light will flash red as the battery is charging, and it will stay red when it’s fully charged.
- When the battery is fully charged, the radio can play for 20-22 hours at medium volume or work as a flashlight for 10-12 hours.
NOTE: It would be better to turn off the radio when it is charging.
Hand Crank Dynamo
The radio can also be charged by turning the handle at the rear of the device and activating the dynamo.
- The handle can be cranked either clockwise or counterclockwise. The red charging indicator light will come on when the handle is being cranked.
- One minute of cranking can power the radio for 5 minutes at medium volume or power the flashlight for 30 minutes.
Solar Powered
The radio battery can be charged by the solar panel on the top. Expose the solar panel to clear sunlight to let it charge as efficiently as possible.
- The red charging indicator light will light up when the radio starts charging up by the solar panel.
- The solar charging effect depends on the sunlight intensity. The stronger the sunlight, the better the charging effect.
- Solar charging is mainly used for maintaining the battery and prolonging the battery life. It’s not suggested to use the solar panel to fully charge the device as the solar charging efficiency is not as high as other charging methods.
AAA Batteries
Remove the battery compartment cover at the bottom, and insert 3 AAA batteries
into the compartment. The symbol of the battery level displayed on the LCD
screen will change to AAA.
NOTE: 1. Ensure the negative(-) end is placed against the spring.

- The radio can only work with earphones with a 3.5mm jack, such as those used with Android phones and MP3/MP4 players. It does not work with iPhone earphones.
- The earphone jack on the radio only supports output, so it won’t work with AUX cable.
