Powering Your ER300
USB Charge Cable
: Before the ER300 is used, the internal
rechargeable battery pack should be charged with the USB
charge cable until the battery indicator icon indicates a full
charge. To charge the ER300 with the USB cable, switch the
power source switch to the “Li” position. Then, insert the USB
charge cable into a USB power source and plug the mini USB
connector into the port labeled “USB In” on the side of the radio.
The CHARGE indicator light will be lit when the USB charge
cable is plugged in. The battery icon on the LCD will flash as
the battery charges. When the Li-ion battery has reached full
charge, the battery icon will stop flashing and will have 3 bars.
It will take approximately 5.5 hours to recharge a completely
depleted battery pack using the USB charge cable.
Rechargeable Battery
: The included rechargeable battery
is located in the battery compartment and is charged by turning
the hand crank, exposing the solar panel to sunlight, or by using
the USB cable to attach to a USB power source. The battery is
specified as 3.7 VDC, 2000 mAh, lithium ion (Li-ion).
Warning:
• Only use Midland’s Li-ion battery pack.
• Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any
battery packs other than the ones indicated in this
manual. This could cause leakage and damage to the
radio.
