USING THE RECHARGEABLE
LITHIUM ION BATTERY
The Raptor uses an 1800 mAh, 3.7 Volt DC, rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
When fully charged, this battery will power the radio for about 30 hours
at low volume. When you purchase the Raptor it may have enough charge
to play the radio for a short period of time. However, it is recommended to
charge it by following the instructions below.
CHARGING/POWERING WITH
THE USB CORD (INCLUDED)
Plug the USB cord’s mini-USB plug into the Raptor’s mini-USB socket, under
the rubber flap on the right side of the radio; plug the other end of the USB
cord into your computer (turned on) or into an AC adapter with a mini USB
socket (not included).
Using this method, the Raptor’s rechargeable lithium-ion battery will fully
charge in about 4 hours. Charging it for less time will result in lower play
time. This method can also be used to power the radio. The radio will play
while charging.
CHARGING WITH SOLAR POWER
Charge the Raptor in direct sunlight for about 18 hours to get a full charge. It
can be used without a full charge, but will not play as long.
THE DISPLAY LIGHT
Each button pressed causes the display light to come on for 10 seconds.

5
TUNING IN STATIONS
The Raptor plays AM (520-1710 KHz), FM (87.5-108 MHz) and
7 NOAA Weather Channels.
FM band:
MHZ
FM
.
AM band:
KHZ
AM
Weather band:
MHZ
WB
.
Turn the radio on. Select AM, FM or WB with the M button, directly
below the display.
When listening to FM and Weather channels, pull up the telescopic antenna all
the way. When tuning AM stations the telescopic antenna is not needed and can
be lowered, because the radio uses an internal ferrite bar antenna for AM. Tune
into stations with the buttons. To scan in the AM and FM band, press/hold
the buttons for two seconds and it will land on the next available station.
The weather frequencies are on channels WB1 through WB7. Try all of
them and find the one that’s strongest; the strongest one is your weather
station. The frequencies associated with them are:
WB1: Channel 1 162.400 MHz
WB2: Channel 2 162.425 MHz
WB3: Channel 3 162.450 MHz
WB4: Channel 4 162.475 MHz
WB5: Channel 5 162.500 MHz
WB6: Channel 6 162.525 MHz
WB7: Channel 7 162.550 MHz

6
ACTIVATING THE NOAA
WEATHER ALERT FEATURE
The weather alert feature allows the NOAA Weather Service and other
governmental agencies to send emergency alerts.
Tune to your strongest weather channel (you may only receive one channel).
Press and release the MEM button. Note that the radio goes silent, but it’s still
on, constantly monitoring the weather frequency. When an alert is sent by
the channel, the radio comes on and you’ll hear the alert being broadcast..
STORING STATIONS INTO MEMORY
The Raptor can memorize 10 AM and 10 FM stations. To store a station,
tune to it first, then press the MEM button for 3 seconds. The memory
number will appear on the upper right corner of the display. While it’s there,
press the or buttons to select the memory number that you wish
to store it into. Press MEM to confirm.
To overwrite, store over the existing frequency. Memories cannot be erased.

UTILIZACIÓN DE LA PILA
RECARGABLE DE IÓN DE LITIO
Su Raptor utiliza una pila recargable de ión de litio de 3,7 VCC, 1.800 mAh.
Cuando está totalmente cargada, esta pila permitirá utilizar la radio durante
30 horas a un volumen reducido. Tras adquirir su Raptor, es posible que la pila
tenga suficiente carga como para poder utilizar la radio durante un periodo
relativamente corto. No obstante, se recomienda recargar la pila conforme a
las instrucciones indicadas a continuación.
CARGA/ALIMENTACIÓN DEL APARATO
UTILIZANDO EL CABLE USB (INCLUIDO)
Enchufe el conector mini USB del cable USB suministrado en la entrada mini
USB de su Raptor situada debajo de la lengüeta de goma existente en el
lateral derecho de la radio. A continuación, enchufe el extremo opuesto del
cable USB a su ordenador (que deberá estar encendido) o bien a un adaptador
de corriente (no incluido) que incorpore una salida USB.
Utilizando este método, será posible cargar la pila recargable de ion de litio de
su Raptor en aproximadamente 4 horas. Si se carga durante menos tiempo del
indicado, su autonomía de funcionamiento será más reducida. Este método
podrá utilizarse también para alimentar la radio. La radio funcionará mientras
se carga el aparato.
CARGA DE LA PILA UTILIZANDO
ENERGÍA SOLAR
Cargue su Raptor exponiéndolo a la acción directa de los rayos del sol durante
aproximadamente 18 horas para que alcance su máximo nivel de carga. Podrá
utilizarlo sin que la pila esté cargada al máximo, pero su autonomía podrá variar.
RETROILUMINACIÓN DE LA PANTALLA
Cada vez que se pulsa un botón, se activará la retroiluminación de la
pantalla durante 10 segundos.

17
SINTONIZACIÓN DE EMISORAS
Su Raptor puede sintonizar emisoras en banda AM (520 - 1710 kHz),
FM (87,5 - 108 MHz), así como 7 canales de información meteorológica
del satélite NOAA.
Banda FM:
MHZ
FM
.
Banda AM:
KHZ
AM
Banda Meteorológica:
MHZ
WB
.
Encienda la radio. Utilice el botón "M" situado justo debajo de la pantalla
para seleccionar la banda AM, FM o WB.
Para escuchar la radio FM y los canales de información meteorológica, extienda
completamente la antena telescópica. En cambio, la antena telescópica no será
necesaria para sintonizar emisoras de banda AM y, por lo tanto, podrá dejarse
replegada, ya que la radio utiliza una antena interna de ferrita para recibir
emisoras en AM. Sintonice las emisoras correspondientes utilizando los botones
Para efectuar una búsqueda de emisoras a través de las bandas AM y FM,
mantenga pulsado cualquiera de dichos botones durante dos segundos y el
aparato sintonizará la siguiente emisora que se encuentre disponible.
Las frecuencias correspondientes a las informaciones meteorológicas se
encuentran disponibles en los canales WB1 a WB7. Pruébelos todos y
encuentre aquel cuya señal es la más potente. El canal que emita con el más
alto nivel de señal corresponderá a su estación meteorológica más cercana.
Las frecuencias relacionadas con estos canales son las siguientes:

18
WB1: Canal 1 162.400 MHz
WB2: Canal 2 162.425 MHz
WB3: Canal 3 162.450 MHz
WB4: Canal 4 162.475 MHz
WB5: Canal 5 162.500 MHz
WB6: Canal 6 162.525 MHz
WB7: Canal 7 162.550 MHz
CÓMO ACTIVAR LA FUNCIÓN DE
ALERTA METEOROLÓGICA NOAA
Lafuncióndealertameteorológicapermiterecibiralertasdeemergenciaprocedentes
de los servicios meteorológicos de NOAA y de otras agencias gubernamentales.
Sintonice su canal de información meteorológica de mayor señal (es posible
que tan sólo reciba un canal). Pulse brevemente el botón "MEM". Tenga en
cuenta que, a pesar de que la radio deje de sonar, seguirá estando encendida y
monitorizando constantemente la frecuencia de los servicios meteorológicos.
En caso de enviarse alguna alerta a través de dicho canal, la radio se activará y
podrá escuchar la información de alerta emitida por el mismo.
CÓMO GUARDAR EN LA MEMORIA
LAS EMISORAS PRESINTONIZADAS
Su Raptor tiene capacidad para memorizar como presintonía 10 emisoras
de AM y 10 de FM. Para memorizar una emisora, sintonícela primero y,
a continuación, mantenga pulsado el botón "MEM" durante 3 segundos.
El número asignado a la emisora presintonizada aparecerá en la esquina
superior derecha de la pantalla. Mientras se muestra dicho número de la
pantalla, podrá utilizar los botones y para seleccionar el número bajo
el cual desea guardar la emisora presintonizada en la memoria. Pulse el botón
"MEM" para confirmar su selección.
Para sobrescribir un número de memoria, deberá guardarse la nueva
emisora sobre la frecuencia existente. No es posible borrar directamente
las memorias.
