3. Setup

3.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the internal 12000 mAh battery using one of the following methods:

• USB-C Charging: Connect the supplied USB-C cable to the radio's USB-C port and to a standard USB power adapter (not included). The charging indicator on the display will show progress.
• Solar Charging: Place the radio with the solar panel facing direct sunlight. The solar panel (8500 mm²) will slowly charge the internal battery. This method is ideal for maintaining charge or for emergency situations when other power sources are unavailable.
• Hand Crank Charging: Rotate the hand crank clockwise or counter-clockwise at a steady pace (approximately 120-150 RPM) to generate power. A few minutes of cranking can provide enough power for short periods of use or to initiate other charging methods.
• AAA Battery Backup: For extended emergencies, insert 3 AAA batteries (not included) into the designated battery compartment. This provides an additional power source.
