Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |

| Poor radio reception | Extend the antenna fully. Try repositioning the unit for better signal. Perform an auto-scan for stations. |
| Mobile phone not charging | Ensure the correct charging plug is used and securely connected. Crank the dynamo consistently. Some modern smartphones may require more power than the dynamo can provide for efficient charging. |
