5. Setup

5.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the radio's internal 1200mAh battery. Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the radio's Type-C port and the other end to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port. The charging indicator will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes several hours.

5.2 Solar Charging

For solar charging, place the radio with its solar panel facing direct sunlight. Ensure no obstructions block the panel. Solar charging is slower than USB charging and is ideal for maintaining battery life or for emergency power in outdoor settings.

5.3 Antenna Adjustment

Extend the telescopic antenna fully for optimal radio reception. Adjust its angle and direction for the best signal clarity, especially in DAB and FM modes.
