Setup and Initial Use

Charging the Radio:

Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the radio's internal 5000mAh lithium-polymer battery.

1. USB-C Charging: Connect the supplied USB-C cable to the radio's USB-C input port and the other end to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port. The battery indicator on the display will show charging progress.
2. Hand Crank Charging: Extend the hand crank handle and rotate it clockwise or counter-clockwise at a steady pace (approximately 130-150 RPM). One minute of cranking can provide several minutes of radio use or emergency light.
3. Solar Charging: Place the radio with the solar panel facing direct sunlight. The solar panel provides a trickle charge and is ideal for maintaining battery life or for emergency charging when other power sources are unavailable. It is not intended as the primary charging method for a full charge.
