2. Charging Methods
- USB-C Charging: Connect the provided USB-C cable to the "INPUT" port and a power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port). The "CHARGING" indicator will light up.
- Solar Charging: Open the solar panel on top of the radio and position it directly towards sunlight. The "CHARGING" indicator will light up when receiving sufficient sunlight. This method is ideal for maintaining battery charge or for emergency power in sunny conditions.
- Hand Crank Charging: Unfold the hand crank located on the side of the radio. Rotate the crank clockwise or counter-clockwise at a steady pace (approximately 2 revolutions per second) to generate power. The "CHARGING" indicator will light up. This method is for emergency power generation.
- AAA Batteries: Insert 3 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. Slide the battery selection switch to "AAA".

5. Power Bank Function
To charge external devices, connect your device's charging cable to the "OUTPUT" USB-A or USB-C ports on the side of the radio. The radio's internal 12000mAh battery will provide power to your device. This is useful for charging smartphones or other small electronics during power outages.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the radio with a soft, dry 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. For long-term storage, ensure the internal battery is charged to approximately 50-70% and recharge every 3-6 months to maintain battery health.
- Water Resistance: The radio is IPX6 water-resistant, meaning it can withstand strong jets of water. Do not submerge the radio in water. Ensure all port covers are securely closed to maintain water resistance.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Radio not turning on. | Low battery or incorrect battery selection. | Charge the internal battery via USB, solar, or hand crank. Ensure the battery selection switch is set to "LI-ION" or "AAA" if using AAA batteries. |
| Poor radio reception. | Antenna not extended or weak signal area. | Fully extend the telescopic antenna. Try repositioning the radio for better signal. |
| Device not charging from output ports. | Radio battery is low or device cable is incompatible. | Ensure the radio's internal battery is sufficiently charged. Verify the charging cable is correctly connected and compatible with your device. |
