MICROLINK FR160 OWNER’S MANUAL
4
POWER SOURCES
1. Rechargeable battery pack (included).
2. Solar power adapter.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
• Turn the crank for about 90 seconds. This will result in
30-40 minutes of low volume play.
• Place the unit directly in sunlight. The solar power adapter
on the top of the unit charges it automatically. About
8-10 hours in the sun will allow about 3-5 hours of play.
CELL PHONE CRANK CHARGING
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/VOLUME control to OFF position.
2. Select CELL with the slide switch.
3. Plug the cell phone charging cord into the USB Phone
Charge socket.
4. Plug other end of your USB socket into the cell phone’s
charging socket.
5. Rotate the dynamo crank about 2 turns per second.
NOTE: When charging a cell phone via the USB cell phone
charger, it is important to turn the crank at least 2 revolutions
per second, or until you see the green or orange LED above
the crank handle turn on. This is an indication that the phone
is receiving enough power from the radio. Continue to crank
at this rate until you are satised that an appropriate level
of charge has been received by your cell phone. If you decide
to stop cranking for whatever reason, please wait at least 5
seconds before beginning to crank again. Not following these
instructions may cause damage to your cell phone for which
Eton disclaims any liability and will not be held liable for any
actual or consequential damages related to this matter.
