• Place the radio in the sun with the solar
panel exposed to sunlight, this charges the
battery. Once the battery has accumulated
a charge the radio may be turned on.
• Insert a standard USB cable into the port
on the rear of the radio to charge the radio
from an external source.
Playing
• The radio will play for about 20
minutes per minute of winding at
medium volume. Increasing the
volume will decrease playtimes.
Successive winding periods,
and longer winding periods
accumulate, and increase
playtimes proportionally. The radio
will play for about 6-8 hours on a
fully charged battery.
• The light will shine for about 30
minutes per minute of winding,
and for about 20 hours on a fully
charged battery.
• About 2 to 3 minutes of cell phone
talk time are achieved per minute
of winding.

Important Note:
Do not store your Tuf radio with the
battery in a discharged condition.

length of time ensure that it is fully
charged. This will prevent battery
damage and ensure that you have
many years of use from your radio.
