BATTERY POWER
Open the battery compartment cover, you can find two groups of
sockets for installing the batteries. One group of sockets is for the
rechargeable Ni-MH batteries and the other group of sockets is for
the AA batteries.
Install 3 AA batteries and set the power selector switch to the
BATTERY position.
SOLAR POWER
When you’re in sunlight set the power switch to the SOLAR posi-
tion. This position also recharges the Ni-MH rechargeable battery.
Note: The rechargeable Ni-MH batteries have been disconnect
for transportation purposes. To use the crank-charge system,
open the battery compartment cover and connect the recharge-
able batteries’ plug into its socket.
DYNAMO POWER
The rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal-hydride) battery is in the
battery compartment. To use it plug the battery into the socket
adjacent to it, then set the power switch to the DYNAMO position.
You may have to charge the battery; to do this turn the crank for
90 seconds. The rechargeable battery will eventually lose its abil-
ity to hold a charge.
DC-IN 5V ADAPTOR (not included)
This socket is located on the back of the radio, under the rubber
plugs. Plug in the AC adapter to the DC IN 5 volt socket. This also
charges the Ni-MH battery.
DC-IN USB COMPUTER SOCKET (USB cord not included)
This socket is located on the back of the radio, under the rubber
plugs. Plug in the USB cord to the DC IN socket. This also charges
the Ni-MH battery.
VOLUME CONTROL
Turning the Volume Adjusting Knob (located on the lower right of
the radio) clockwise turns up the volume; counterclockwise turns
down the volume. Always turn down the volume before using
earphones.
CHARGING CELL PHONES (cell phone charging cord in-
cluded)
If you revolve the Power Supply Knob to the OFF/PHONE CHAR-
GER position the radio will charge cell phones. Plug the cell phone
charging cord into the USB PHONE CHARGER jack at the rear of
the radio. Plug the cell phone charging adapter tip into the other
end of the cord and then into the jack of the cell phone. Then put
the radio in the sun or revolve the hand crank to charge the cell
phone. About 10 minutes of cranking results in one or two short
emergency calls.

it is important to turn the crank at least 2 revolutions per second,
or until you see the green or orange LED above the crank handle
