Charging the Radio

The R11 radio offers three primary methods for charging its internal 4000mAh battery:

1. Type-C USB Charging: For daily use, connect the provided Type-C cord to the radio's Type-C charging port and a compatible USB power adapter (not included). A full charge provides up to 32 hours of playback time.
2. Hand Crank Charging: In emergency situations or when external power is unavailable, extend the hand crank located on the side of the radio. Rotate the crank clockwise or counter-clockwise at a steady pace to generate power.
3. Solar Panel Charging: Position the radio with its solar panel facing direct sunlight. This method is ideal for maintaining battery charge or providing a trickle charge in outdoor settings.

The radio can also act as a mobile power source to charge external devices via its USB output port.
