USING AN AC ADAPTER
Once plugged in, the AC adapter acts as a charger, charging the inter-
nal Ni-MH battery pack. Charge it for 8 hours to achieve a full charge.
1. Plug the adapter into the DC 4.5 V socket.
2. For power, set the BATTERY/DYNAMO-ADAPTER/OFF switch to
the DYNAMO-ADAPTER position.
Only use an AC adapter of 4.5 VDC, negative polarity and 100mA
current capability. To order the correct AC adapter call the toll free
number shown at the beginning of this manual, ask for the parts
department and order part # GPU3504.
1. Set power selector switch to DYNAMO/ADAPTOR.
2. While continually turning the dynamo crank, radio stations can be
tuned and the lights and siren function.
Because cell phone batteries vary in their current ratings, we
cannot specify charging rates or usage time. 10 to 15 minutes of
cranking may result in 1 or more minutes of talk-time.
1. Set POWER switch to OFF position.
2. Plug the cell phone charging cord into the Phone Charge socket.
