Getting Started – Powering Your Radio
Before powering your radio, be sure to read the Safety Instructions
on page 10.
The CC Observer can be powered in three different ways:
Power by Winding
— Unfold the handle from the side of the radio and
rotate in either direction. The green “DYNAMO” light on the front of the
radio will glow indicating proper winding speed. After 90 seconds of wind-
ing, the radio will play for about 45 minutes.
Power using AA Batteries
— When using AA alkaline batteries, the radio
should play at normal volume for about 140 hours. When using nickel
metal hydrate rechargeable AA batteries, about 100 hours of play can be
expected. This radio will not charge user-installed batteries.
Inserting Batteries:
1. Position the radio face down on a soft surface to protect it.
2. Remove the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert the 3 “AA” cell batteries into the compartment, as indicated in the
picture below. Be sure the negative (-) end is against the spring. Refer
to the picture below to insure correct installation of your batteries.
4. Replace the battery cover. On the front of the radio, slide the “Power
Switch” to “Battery”.You are now ready to operate your radio on
batteries.
