Figure 3: Five Charging Methods

7.1. USB Cable Charging

Connect the provided USB cable to the Type-C Power In Jack and a USB power source. This is the fastest and most efficient charging method.

7.2. Hand Crank Charging

Extend the crank handle and rotate it clockwise or counter-clockwise. Cranking for a few minutes can provide enough power for a short period of radio use or a quick flashlight burst. Ensure the radio is turned off for more efficient charging.

7.3. Solar Charging

Place the radio with the solar panel facing direct sunlight. The solar panel charges the internal battery. This method is slower and best for maintaining charge or trickle charging over long periods. Full charge in full sunshine takes approximately 20 hours.

7.4. AAA Battery Power

If the internal battery is depleted, the radio can be powered by 3x AAA batteries (not included). Ensure these are installed correctly in the battery compartment.

7.5. Internal 5000mAh Battery

The built-in high-capacity battery provides extended operation time for all functions.
