USING AN AC ADAPTER (NOT INCLUDED)
Once plugged in, the AC adapter acts as a charger, charging the
internal Ni-MH battery pack. Charge it for 8 hours to achieve a
full charge.
1. Plug the adapter into the DC 4.5 V socket.
2. For power, set the BATTERY/DYNAMO-ADAPTER/OFF switch
to the DYNAMO-ADAPTER position.
Only use an AC adapter of 4.5 VDC, negative polarity and
100mA current capability. To order the correct AC adapter call the
toll free number shown at the beginning of this manual, ask for
the parts department and order part # GPU3504.
EMERGENCY OPERATION WITH NO
POWER SOURCE
1. Set power selector switch to DYNAMO/ADAPTOR.
2. While continually turning the dynamo crank, radio stations
can be tuned and the lights and siren function.
CELL PHONE CRANK CHARGING
Because cell phone batteries vary in their current ratings, we
cannot specify charging rates or usage time. 10 to 15 minutes of
cranking may result in 1 or more minutes of talk-time.
