3.1. Radio Operation

1. Turn the 'Volume' Dial clockwise to power on the radio.
2. Select the desired band (FM/AM/SW/WB) using the radio band switch.
3. Extend the antenna for better signal reception.
4. Turn the 'Tuner' Dial to select a station. The green tune indicator light will illuminate when a station is fully engaged.
5. Adjust the volume using the 'Volume' Dial.
6. To turn off, turn the 'Volume' Dial to the OFF position.

• Flashlight: Short press the Flashlight button (often combined with the SOS button) to turn on the light. Short press it again to turn off the light.
• SOS Alarm: Press and hold the Flashlight button for 3 seconds. The device will activate a loud siren (120 dB noise level) and flash an SOS signal in Morse code format. Short press the Flashlight button again to turn it off.

3.3. Reading Lamp

To use the reading lamp, open the solar panel. The reading lamp will light up. Close the solar panel to turn off the reading light.

3.4. Power Bank Function (Charge & Discharge)

The XSY-350 can be used to charge external USB devices. This function is primarily recommended for emergency use.

1. Locate the waterproof cover on the side of the product, which conceals the USB output port and USB input port.
2. Connect your USB device to the USB output port using a compatible USB cable.
3. When the device is actively discharging (acting as a power bank), the power indicator lights will gradually diminish.

4. Charging the Radio

The XSY-350 offers three methods to recharge its internal battery:

4.1. USB-C Charging

• Connect the supplied USB cable to the Type-C input port on the right side of the unit and to a USB power adapter (not included).
• The 4 blue power indicator lights will illuminate in sequence during charging.
• A full charge typically takes 5.5-6 hours.
• Note: Please charge the radio at least once every three months to maintain battery health.

4.2. Hand-Crank Charging

• Extend the hand crank located on the side of the radio.
• Turn the handle clockwise or counter-clockwise at a speed of approximately 120 rpm.
• Cranking for 3 minutes can provide enough power for 4 minutes of flashlight use or 15 minutes of radio operation.
• Note: The hand-cranked charging function is recommended for emergency situations. For regular charging, USB is preferred.

4.3. Solar Power Charging

• Expose the solar panel on top of the radio to direct sunlight for efficient charging.
• The red power indicator light will illuminate when the radio receives sufficient sunlight to begin charging.
• Solar charging is primarily intended for maintaining the battery charge and prolonging battery life, rather than for a full charge.

4.4. Power Indicator

The unit has 4 blue power indicator lights to show the current battery capacity:

• 1%-25%: 1 steady light on
• 26%-50%: 2 steady lights on
• 51%-75%: 3 steady lights on
• 76%-100%: 4 steady lights on

When fully charged, all four blue power indicators will be steady on, and the red charge indicator will change from blinking to steady on.

5. Maintenance and Safety

• Environmental Conditions: The device should not be exposed to dripping or splashing water. Objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on the device.
• Battery Care: Do not over-discharge the unit, as this can reduce internal battery life or cause damage.
• Eye Safety: Avoid shining the flashlight directly into eyes, as it can cause harm.
• Regular Charging: Charge the radio via USB at least once every three months to prevent battery degradation.

6. Troubleshooting

• Cannot Charge Phone/USB Device: If your phone or USB device is not charging when connected, disconnect the USB cable from the radio and plug it back in to reactivate the power output. Ensure you are using a compatible cable.
• Poor Radio Reception: Fully extend the antenna. Try repositioning the radio to a different location, especially near a window or outdoors, to improve signal strength.
• Short Battery Life: Ensure the radio is regularly charged (at least every three months). Avoid prolonged over-discharge. Note that actual usage time may vary based on environmental conditions and usage patterns compared to laboratory test data.

8. Warranty and Support

The XSY-350 device comes with a full 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. Please retain your proof of purchase for warranty claims.

9. User Tips

• Stay Prepared: Keep your emergency radio fully charged, especially during seasons prone to severe weather.
• Test Regularly: Periodically test all functions (radio, flashlight, SOS alarm, charging) to ensure the unit is ready when needed.
• Emergency Power: Remember that the power bank function is best suited for emergency charging of essential devices, not as a primary power source.
