5. Powering the Device

Your Eoxsmile Emergency Weather Radio offers six different ways to power it, ensuring reliability in any situation:

Figure 5.1: Six ways to power your radio.

1. USB-C Charging: Connect the included USB-C cable to the radio's USB-C input port and plug the other end into the 5V/2A adapter or any compatible USB power source. This is the primary and fastest charging method.
2. Hand Crank: Extend the hand crank handle located on the back of the radio. Rotate the crank clockwise or counter-clockwise at a steady pace (approximately 130-150 RPM) for 3-5 minutes to generate power for short-term use or to initiate charging.
3. Solar Panel: Place the radio with the solar panel facing direct sunlight. The solar panel provides a trickle charge to maintain the battery level and is most effective for extending battery life rather than rapid charging.
4. Built-in 12000mAh Rechargeable Battery: The radio comes with a high-capacity internal Lithium Polymer battery. This battery powers all functions and can be recharged via USB-C, hand crank, or solar.
5. AAA Batteries (Backup): Open the battery compartment on the back and insert 3 AAA batteries (not included). This serves as an alternative power source when the internal rechargeable battery is depleted and other charging methods are unavailable.
6. AC Adapter: Use the included 5V/2A AC adapter with the USB-C cable for wall charging.

6. Setup

Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the internal battery.

1. Initial Charge: Connect the radio to a power outlet using the USB-C cable and 5V/2A adapter. The battery indicator on the LCD screen will show charging progress. A full charge may take several hours.
2. Install AAA Batteries (Optional): If you wish to use AAA batteries as a backup, open the battery compartment on the back of the radio and insert 3 new AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity.
3. Attach Hand Strap/Carabiner: Secure the portable hand strap or carabiner to the designated attachment points for easy carrying.
