1. USB-C Charging

Connect the provided USB-C cable to the radio's input port and a standard USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, power bank, computer). This is the primary method for daily charging.

2. Hand Crank Power

Extend the hand crank handle from the side of the radio. Rotate the crank 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 initiate charging of the internal battery.

3. Solar Panel Charging

Place the radio with its solar panel facing direct sunlight. The solar panel will slowly charge the internal battery. This method is most effective for maintaining charge or for emergency trickle charging in bright conditions.

4. Internal Rechargeable Battery

The radio is equipped with a built-in 7400mWh rechargeable battery, providing a reliable power source for extended operation. This battery is charged via USB-C, hand crank, or solar panel.

5. AAA Batteries

As a backup, the radio can be powered by 3 AAA batteries (not included). Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for instructions.

Charging External Devices

The PRUNUS J-366 can function as a power bank to charge your mobile devices using its integrated 3-in-1 charging cables. Simply pull out the appropriate cable (Lightning, USB-C, or Micro USB) and connect it to your device. The radio's internal 7400mWh battery will provide power.
