3. Getting Started

Powering the radio

The MMR-99DAB is powered by a built-in 2,600mAh Lithium-ion battery. This battery can be charged by connecting a USB power source to the radio's DC IN socket, by using the hand crank at the back of the radio, or by using the solar panel on top of the radio.

Before using the radio for the first time, it is recommended to fully charge the radio's built-in battery using the radio's DC-in socket and a USB power source. Fully charging the battery using USB power takes approximately 3 hours. The battery indicator will disappear from the display when the radio's battery is fully charged. Reduced power, distortion, stuttering sounds, or an empty battery icon flashing on the radio's display are all signs that the battery needs to be recharged. The radio can play for approximately 20 hours when the battery is fully charged.

Charging the battery using the DC IN socket

  1. Connect the Type-C end of the supplied USB charging cable to the DC IN socket on the right side of the radio.
  2. Connect the other end of the USB charging cable to a USB Type-A port (e.g., of a PC, USB charger, or power bank).

Note: It is recommended to use a USB power source supplying 5V / 2.4A to prevent battery failure and to ensure the radio's DC OUT socket can also be used while charging the battery.

Charging the battery using the hand crank

  1. Before using the hand crank, make sure the telescopic antenna is retracted and placed back in its rest.
  2. Take the hand crank from its rest position.
  3. Rotate the hand crank clockwise or counterclockwise at approximately 100 rotations per minute. The Charging LED indicator next to the radio's display will light up green while the battery is being charged.
  4. After you have finished charging the radio using the hand crank, place the hand crank back in its rest position.

Note: Under normal listening conditions, each minute of charging using the hand crank adds approximately 5-7 minutes of listening time.

Charging the battery using the solar panel

The radio does not need to be switched on for the solar panel to operate. To recharge the radio's internal battery using solar power, position the radio so that the solar panel receives direct sunlight. The more direct sunlight that shines on the solar panel, the more electricity it can generate to power the radio.

Note: The best performance of the solar panel will be achieved when the sun is directly overhead, and the sunlight is unobstructed by clouds, foliage, curtains, etc. In certain situations and poor light conditions, the solar panel may not be effective and should not be relied upon as the primary energy source for standard usage. The solar panel is designed as a supplementary energy source which, under suitable light conditions, is able to contribute up to 100% of the radio's energy requirements. The solar panel will charge the battery only under natural sunlight. It will not deliver a charge in artificial light.

DO NOT attempt to charge the battery by placing the solar panel directly under any kind of sun-lamp, as this will cause irreversible damage to the radio and may damage the casing. (Doing so will void your warranty.)

Turning the radio on / off

After the radio has been supplied with power, press and hold the Power button to turn on the radio. The radio will automatically switch to the last used mode. To turn off the radio, simply press the Power button.

Note: If the radio is battery-powered, all buttons except the LED Flashlight / Emergency light button, Emergency signal button, and Power button will be disabled when the radio is turned off. When connected to a USB power source, the alarm can still be enabled / disabled by pressing and holding the Alarm button, and the radio menu can be opened by pressing and holding the Menu button.

Using the LED Flashlight

The MMR-99DAB features three built-in lights that can be used as an LED Flashlight. Repeatedly press the LED Flashlight button to activate either of the three lights or to turn off the Flashlight feature. The LED Flashlight can always be activated, regardless of whether the radio is turned on or off. After activating one of the three lights, repeatedly press the Illumination mode button to select the illumination mode. The available illumination modes are: High brightness, Low brightness, SOS (Morse Code Distress Signal: three short flashes, three long flashes, three short flashes), and Blinking.

Using the Emergency signal feature

The MMR-99DAB also features an emergency siren and light that can be used to draw attention in case of emergency. The emergency signal can always be activated, regardless of whether the radio is turned on or off. To activate the emergency signal, simply press the Emergency signal button. The red low beam light and the white high beam light will now alternately flash, and an alarm sound increasing in volume will be played from the radio's speaker.

Using the Key lock feature

The key lock feature can be used to prevent unintentional operation of the radio and will disable all buttons except for the LED Flashlight and Emergency signal buttons. To activate the key lock, simply press and hold the Lock button until the Lock indicator appears on the radio's display. To disable the key lock, press and hold the Lock button again until the Lock indicator disappears from the display.

Using the Sleep timer

The sleep timer allows you to automatically turn off the radio after a preset time has elapsed. It can be set from 15 to 120 minutes by pressing and holding the Power button and releasing it when the desired sleep time is shown on the display. When the sleep timer is active, the Sleep indicator will be shown on the radio's display. To turn off the sleep timer, either press and hold the Power button until the [OFF] option appears on the display, or turn off the radio and then turn it on again.

The radio menu

The radio menu can be opened when the radio is turned on or off and can be accessed from any mode. The menu consists of a number of default items and some items specific to the mode in which the menu is opened (if applicable). To open the radio menu, press and hold the Menu button. Then, press the Tuning up / down button to select an item or a value in the menus and press the Enter button to confirm your choice, or press the Menu button to go back one step in the menu or close the menu (if no higher-level items are available).

  1. After the devices have paired and connected, a confirmation tone will be played on the radio, and the radio's display will show the name of the connected Bluetooth device. You can now play music on your Bluetooth device and stream the music through the radio's speaker.

Notes:

Audio playback in the Bluetooth mode

When you have successfully connected your radio with the chosen Bluetooth device, you can start to play your music using the controls on your connected Bluetooth device.

  1. The volume of Bluetooth playback can be controlled both on your Bluetooth device and on the radio using the Volume up / down button.
  2. Playback can also be controlled using the controls on your Bluetooth device and the controls on the radio. Press the radio's Play / Pause button to start/pause playback, press the Next track or Previous track button to select the desired track, and press and hold the Next track or Previous track button to fast forward or rewind within a track (release the button when the desired point within the track is reached).

Note: Not all player applications or devices may respond to all of these controls.

Audio playback from a previously paired Bluetooth device

The MMR-99DAB can memorize up to 8 sets of paired Bluetooth devices. Once the memory exceeds 8, the earliest paired device will be overwritten. If your Bluetooth source device has previously paired with the MMR-99DAB, the radio will remember it and attempt to reconnect. If the last connected Bluetooth device is not available, the radio will try to connect to the second-to-last Bluetooth device.

  4. The audio output of the external device will now be played through the speaker of your MMR-99DAB. Adjust the volume on the external device to ensure an adequate volume level, and then use the radio's Volume up / down button as needed to adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

Listening to music using the headphones socket

The MMR-99DAB is equipped with a Headphones socket on the right side of the radio, which can be used to connect a pair of headphones with a 3.5mm plug. To connect the headphones, simply plug the 3.5mm jack into the socket. The radio will then automatically detect that a pair of headphones has been connected and will disable its internal speaker.

We recommend turning the volume down before connecting the headphones and raising it slowly to a suitable level after connecting them to avoid loud sounds and damaging your hearing.

Note: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods of time.
