Charging the Device

The Roxicosly CR1009Ultra offers multiple ways to charge its internal 12000mAh battery:

  • USB-C Charging: Connect the provided USB-C cable to the radio's input port and a USB power source. This is the fastest and most efficient charging method.
  • Solar Charging: Place the radio with the solar panel facing direct sunlight. The solar panel charges the internal battery, but this method is slower and primarily for maintaining charge or trickle charging in emergencies.
  • Hand Crank Charging: Rotate the hand crank clockwise or counter-clockwise at a steady pace (approximately 130-150 RPM) for 3-5 minutes to generate enough power for a few minutes of radio use or a short burst of flashlight. Continuous cranking can provide more power.
  • AAA Batteries: While not directly charging the internal battery, installing 3 AAA batteries (not included) allows the radio to operate when the internal battery is depleted.

Charging External Devices (Power Bank Function)

Connect your smartphone or other USB-powered device to the radio's USB-A output port using your device's charging cable. The radio's internal 12000mAh battery will act as a power bank to charge your external device.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe the radio with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the radio in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, ensure the battery is charged to at least 50% and recharge every 3-6 months to prolong battery life.
  • Water Resistance: The radio is IPX6 water-resistant, meaning it can withstand strong jets of water. However, it is not designed for submersion. Ensure all port covers are securely closed to maintain water resistance.
