The special features of the TECHNIRADIO SOLAR 2
The TECHNIRADIO SOLAR 2 consists of a DAB+/UKW receiver with the following functions:
- You can store up to 10 DAB+ and 10 FM stations.
- The radio receives on the frequencies FM 87.5-108 MHz (analogue) and DAB+ 174.9-239.2 MHz (digital).
- Internal battery that can be charged via any 5V USB port.
- Battery life can be extended using the built-in solar panel or the crank handle.
- 5V output for charging external devices.
- Torch function.
Preparing the TECHNIRADIO SOLAR 2 for operation
Align telescopic antenna
The number and quality of the stations to be received depends on the reception
conditions at the installation site. Excellent reception can be achieved with
the telescopic aerial.
- Pull out the telescopic aerial lengthways.
- The exact alignment of the telescopic antenna is important, especially in the fringe areas of DAB+ reception. On the Internet, for example, you can find
“ www.dabplus.de ” the location of the nearest transmitter mast quickly to track down. Start the first search outdoors or at a window in the direction of the transmitter mast. In poor weather conditions, DAB+ reception may only be possible to a limited extent. Do not touch the telescopic aerial while playing a station. This can lead to impaired reception and audio dropouts.
Charge battery
- Connect the supplied USB-C charging cable to the DC-IN 5V socket (17) on the side, behind the water protection flap of the TECHNIRADIO SOLAR 2.
- Connect the USB port to a commercially available 5V, 2.3A USB power supply unit or a USB socket on a PC (min. 1 A charging current).
- Depending on the USB connection, the first charge of the battery takes a different amount of time. During the charging process, the charging LED (18) lights up red and goes out when the process is complete.
The charge status is shown on the display using a battery symbol.
- The battery life can be extended or the battery charged using the integrated solar panel or the hand crank.
- Fold in the telescopic aerial when using the hand crank. If the crank speed is sufficient, the charging LED (18) lights up red.
- When using the solar panel, pay attention to direct sunlight. If the angle of incidence is optimal and there is enough sunlight, the charging LED (18) lights up blue. It goes out if there is insufficient sunlight.
Headphones use hearing protectors!
Do not listen to the radio at high volume via headphones. This can lead to permanent hearing damage. Before using headphones, set the device volume to the minimum level. Only use headphones with a 3.5 millimetre stereo jack plug.
- Insert the plug of the headphones into the headphone socket (14) of the device. The sound is now reproduced exclusively via the headphones, the loudspeaker is muted.
- If you want to listen via the speakers again, unplug the headset from the headset socket on the device.
