TURNING THE RADIO ON AND OFF
Turn it on and off with the VOLUME control. When it’s on, the
light shines green (front right side of the band selector switch).
ADJUSTING THE VOLUME
Set VOLUME control to the desired level.
POWER SOURCES
1. Rechargeable battery pack (Li-Poly battery)
2. USB charging cable
CHARGING THE Li-POLY BATTERY PACK
• Turn the crank for about one minute. The charge indicator
light will turn red (located to the right of the band selector
dial) when turning the hand crank. This will result in about
15 minutes of low volume play.
• To charge via USB cable, plug the USB cord into a computer
(must be turned on) or into an AC adapter with a USB socket
(5V, 500mA). Then plug the other end into the mini-USB
socket (labeled DC-IN under the rubber cover located on the
bottom of the radio). While charging, the charge indicator
light will turn red, and then change to green when it is fully
charged. Once fully charged, the radio will play for about 8
hours, at low volume.

TUNING-IN STATIONS
1. Select AM, FM or SW (shortwave) channel 1-2 with the
band selector switch. For FM and SW, fully extend the
telescopic antenna for best reception. When listening to
AM the antenna is not needed because AM reception
uses an internal ferrite bar antenna.
2. Tune AM and FM stations with the TUNE knob, and tune
in SW (shortwave) with the 2-position switch.
SW1 5.8–7.7 Mhz
SW2 9.4–12.3 MHz
CELL PHONE CHARGING
To charge the cell phone from the radio’s Li-Poly battery, use
the cell phone’s USB charging cord to connect it to the radio’s
large USB socket (under the rubber cover on the bottom of
the radio).
Turn the band selector knob to CELL. The indicator light
will turn ON. The cell phone’s battery charging indicator will
show that it’s charging. When fully charged, it provides 20
minutes of talk time. If internal battery is completely drain,
turn the crank for 7 minutes at 130 rpm to charge the cell
phone enough to talk for about 5 minutes.
