light will extend up to 12’. Just pull on the connector and unreel it to the
desired length. The black base of the light opens up to reveal a handle
that is used to reel the cord back in. The base is also a magnet, so you
can mount it to any metal surface like a refrigerator or a car.
Please note: All NiCad batteries come slightly charged. First, charge the
(4) ‘D’ NiCad batteries. You can do this in the CCRadio
plus via the 6V
Adapter or with the 4 Watt Solar Panel.To install the batteries please
refer to page 9.
Please read the NiCad Information on page 21 to ensure you get the
best service from your NiCad batteries.
To charge the batteries via the adapter, plug the 6V Adapter into the jack
labeled “6V DC Charging Circuit” on the back of the CCRadio
plus . Once
the batteries are charged you may use the radio. To use the light, plug it
into the jack labeled “LED Lamp”.
To charge the batteries via the Solar Panel, plug the panel into the jack
labeled “6V DC Charging Circuit”. The NiCads will charge via the Solar
Panel every time it is in full or partial sunlight. The Solar Panel can be
mounted outside. There is a voltage blocking device in the radio that
prevents loss of a charge when the Panel is not in the sun. Generally,
the Solar Panel puts out equal power required to run the radio. If you
charge the batteries for eight hours in the full sun you may get nearly
eight hours of play time.The CCRadio
plus can be operated while the
batteries are being charged. The Solar Panel will run the radio in full
sunlight without the NiCad batteries installed.
