2. Setup and Charging

Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the radio using the USB charging method.

Charging Options:

  1. USB Charging:

    Connect the provided USB cable to the radio's DC5V input port and a standard USB power adapter (not included) or computer USB port. A full charge typically takes around 4 hours. The indicator lights will show charging progress.

  2. Hand-Crank Charging:

    Extend the hand-crank handle located on the back of the radio. Rotate the handle clockwise or counter-clockwise at a steady pace (approximately 130-150 RPM) for 3-5 minutes to generate sufficient power for short-term use or to maintain battery charge. This method is ideal for emergencies when other power sources are unavailable.

  3. Solar Panel Charging:

    Place the radio with its solar panel facing direct sunlight. The solar panel is located on the top of the unit. This method is primarily for maintaining battery charge and is less efficient for a full charge. Ensure the panel is at a 90-degree angle to the sunlight for optimal charging.

Battery Information:

The radio is equipped with 2 Lithium Ion batteries (included). The internal battery capacity is 10000mAh, providing approximately 18 hours of radio playback at 30% volume on a full charge. The power bank function can provide about one full charge for an iPhone 12.
