 Power Source and Charging
Solar
Solar battery remains in the solar panel on top of the radio.
Solar Charging
The built-in rechargeable battery will be charged automatically under the sunlight gr natural light. Rotate
the solar panel at any angle from 0 to 80 for optimal charging.
When charging under the direct sunlight, it takes approximately 30 hours to fully charge. lf charged from an
indoor lighting, it will take much longer.
Rechargeable Battery
The rechargeable battery pack is already installed in the radio in the battery compartment. Rotate the
POWER SWITCH tO thc INT. BATT. OOSitiON.

Standard Alkaline Batteries

L. Open the Battery Compartment.
2. Insert 3"M" size batteries (not included) into the Battery Compartment, making sure that the batteries
are installed in the designated numerical order and that.the proper polarities (+ and -) are maintained.
3. Rotate the POWER SWITCH to the DRY BATT. position.

To prevent possible damase to this unit:

O Load new batteries with their polarities (+ and -) aligned correctly.
a Do not apply heat to batteries, or internal short circuit may occur.
o lf this unit is not to be used for a long period of time, remove all batteries and store them in a cool and
dry place.
o Remove spent batteries immediately and disposeof*hem.- ,
o Do not use old and new batteries together. Also, never use an alkaline battery with a manganese
. battery.

Batterv life
lf the sound becomes low or distorted, or the TUNING/LOW indicator lights red, replace all the batteries
with new ones.
-' Crank Power
INTERNAL CHARGE - Pull out the crank handle from its recessed holder, and turn the crank handle at a
steady speed to generate power and charge the rechargeable battery. When doing this, the CHARGE
indicator will light green. Turn off the radio and charging will be much more efficient. 3-5 minutes of
cranking will supply 20-30 minutes of radio play time.
, .
EXTERNAT CHARGE- Connect your mobile phone with a phone using your USB or mini USB phone charging
cable via the full size USB jacks on the radio. Crank the handle at a steady speed and the CHARGE indicator
I will light green. tf your phone cannot connect via USB, several adapter power tips are included for popular

For better receotion
FM/SWWB \
Pull out the Telescopic Antenna and extend it fully. Then adjust its length and angle for optimum reception.
AM

HETPFUL HINTS

1. lf the set is not used for a long period of time, remove all the batteries to prevent potential damage
due to possible battery leakage.
2. Do not subject the set to temperatures over 60"C (140"F) because characteristics of the internal parts
may be adversely affected by heat.
3. Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep magnetized commuter passes, tickets or personal
credit cards, recorded tapes, watches etc' away from the radio.
4. Do not place the set near strong magnets such as those used in radio, television sets, speaker boxes
etc. these may cause the frequency to drift'
as
5. Do not drop or subjectthe set to a strong impact since the set is composed of precision parts'
6. When listening in a train, car or building, use the radio near a window to obtain the best possible
reception. Reception may be difficult in a tunnel or subway. Also note that operating the radio on a
metal object may adversely affect recepti-on.
7. Avoid spray-type insecticides. Some insecticides contain chemicals that could cause cabinet damage.
