11. Battery charging
During the charging process, the charging indicator lights up red. As soon as the radio
is fully charged, the charging indicator turns off.
Attention! Reception may be impaired during charging or when charging an external
device via the USB-A output.
11.1. Solar panel
To recharge the radio, place the radio's solar panel directly into sunlight. The panel can
be tilted for optimal alignment. Be careful to not shade any part of the solar panel. Even
small shadows can drastically decrease the panel's performance. Artificial light sources
mostly do not provide enough energy to charge the radio.
1 hour of solar charging can power the radio for about 20 minutes or the integrated
torch for 1 hour.
11.2. Hand crank
To recharge the radio, extend the hand crank and turn it in either direction. For optimal
charging, turn the crank at 120 - 150 rpm (2 - 2.5 times a second). 1 minute of turning
can power the radio for about 3 minutes.
12. SOS emergency function
Use this function in an emergency to alert people near your location. To activate,
long press the SOS button on the bottom of the radio. The radio will play a loud
siren and flash a red and blue signal light.
Attention: The siren is very loud. Prolonged close range exposure can cause hearing
damage. Try to set up the radio some distance away, when using the emergency
function. Use of the emergency function drains the battery at an excessive rate.
13. Torch
To turn on the torch, press the
button on top of the radio. If you press the button
a second time, the light flashes.
If the solar panel is folded upwards, the
button does not activate the torch, but
the reading light under the solar module instead. This can be set to 3 different
levels.
