4. Setup

4.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the radio using one of the following methods:

1. USB Charging: Connect the provided Micro USB cable to the radio's USB input port and the other end to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port. The charging indicator light will illuminate.
2. Solar Charging: Place the radio with the solar panel facing direct sunlight. This method is ideal for maintaining charge or for emergency trickle charging when other power sources are unavailable.
3. Hand Crank Charging: Extend the hand crank handle and rotate it clockwise or counter-clockwise at a steady pace (approximately 130-150 RPM). A few minutes of cranking can provide enough power for short-term use of the radio or flashlight.
