The charging indicator lights will illuminate during charging and turn off when fully charged.

AAA Battery Installation (Backup)

For backup power, the radio supports 3 AAA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the radio and insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity. This option provides an alternative power source when the internal rechargeable battery is depleted.

Powering the Device

The Eoxsmile Emergency Radio offers five ways to power or charge the unit:

• Micro USB Charging: Connect the included USB cable to a 5V/2A power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port. This is the primary and fastest charging method.
• Solar Panel: Place the radio with the solar panel facing direct sunlight. This method is primarily for maintaining battery charge or for slow charging in emergency situations.
• Hand Crank: Rotate the hand crank clockwise or counter-clockwise at a steady pace (approximately 130-150 RPM) to generate power. Cranking for 1 minute can provide approximately 15-20 minutes of radio use or a few minutes of flashlight use.
• Built-in 5000mAh Rechargeable Battery: The main power source for the radio, providing long operational time.
• 3 x AAA Batteries (Not Included): An alternative backup power source. Ensure correct polarity when inserting.

Maintenance

• Keep the radio dry and clean. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods (except for solar charging), and high humidity.
• Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• If storing for an extended period, fully charge the internal battery and remove any AAA batteries to prevent leakage. Recharge the internal battery every 3-6 months to maintain its lifespan.
• Avoid dropping the radio or subjecting it to strong impacts.
