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.

TUNING IN STATIONS
The Raptor plays AM (520-1710 KHz), FM (87.5-108 MHz) and
7 NOAA Weather Channels.
FM band:
MHZ

.
AM band:

Weather band:

.
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

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.
