Thank You:
Thank you for purchasing the KA009R super portable receiver. Please
read the manual thoroughly before operating and keep this book in a
safe place for future reference. With proper care, you will receive many
years of trouble-free service from your new radio.
The KA009R portable radio is perfect for emergency situations and is
also ideal for anyone who does not have access to a reliable AC power
source. The radio can be powered by solar energy, batteries, AC adapter
and hand-crank generator (magneto). With coverage of the AM/FM/TV/
AIR/Weather broadcast bands, plus 4 shortwave bands, you'll never run
out of things to listen to!
Description:
Features:
1. Ten Bands: Receives AM/FM/TV1/TV2/AIR/Weather broadcast
bands and four shortwave bands (SW1-SW4).
2. Built-in power generator: Under emergency conditions where
AC power, batteries and sunlight sources are unavailable, you can
crank-up the radio to charge the internal batteries.
3. Solar power: The built-in solar panel is powerful enough to run the
radio in direct sunlight.* It charges the batteries even in weak light
conditions.
4. Rechargeable pack: It provides reliable, renewable internal power
for everyday use. The high quality Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are
installed inside the radio and will last for many years without needing
replacement.

5. 2 1/2 diameter speaker: The high quality speaker provides clear
dynamic audio.
6. AC/DC power adapter: You can use this adapter to charge the built-in
battery or to directly power the radio.
7. DC jack: A built-in 6V DC jack is provided for external power connection.
8. Earphone: Stereo Earphones are provided for private listening.
9. Antennas: The telescopic antenna can be positioned to improve reception
of FM/TV/AIR/Weather and shortwave stations. A built-in AM ferrite
antenna provides good sensitivity for AM reception. Also included with
the radio is a portable wire antenna that can be used to further improve
shortwave reception by plugging it into the earphone jack.
10. Cellphone charger tips. We include the adaptors for the popular
cellphones on the market for self-charging. See the info on the separate
page.
*Important Notice Regarding Solar Operation:
The built-in solar panel can be used to directly power the radio even
if the internal batteries are dead! The solar panel must face direct
sunlight to get enough energy to operate the radio's speaker. If you
cannot position the radio in direct sunlight, try to use the earphones.
Earphones require less energy to operate than the speaker does.
When switching to solar power always start with the volume control
at the minimum position. The higher you turn the volume the more
light you will need.
11. Super bright LED Flashlight: Long life super bright LED is
convenient flashlight to use in the dark.
12. Battery compartment: Operates on 3 x "AA" size batteries.

Radio Operation (see diagram for location of controls)
Set the power switch 1 to the desired power source: AC/DC adapter,
external batteries, internal rechargeable "AA" batteries or solar power.
Band selection:
There are two band selector switches which work in conjunction with
each other to allow the selection of FM/TV/AIR/WB/AM/SW1/SW2/
SW3/SW4.
To receive :
Medium Wave: (AM Broadcast Band) 2 A should be in AM/SW
position and 2 B should be in AM position
FM : set 2 A to FM, 2 B can be on any position.
TV1:set 2 A to TV1, 2 B can be on any position.
TV2:set 2 A to TV2, 2 B can be on any position.
15. Cellphone Charger Jack
1. Connect the Cellphone to the Jack
Use the included cable to connect the cellphone and
the charger. Insert one end of the cable to jack, find
a proper tip to connect the cable and cellphone.
Method 1: Crank the Dynamo Cranking Handle smoothly to charge the
cellphone.
Method 2: Use theAC adaptor to charge the cellphone. Plug the AC adaptor
to the power outlet, the radio will charge the cellphone.
Note: If you want to charge the built-in Ni-MH batteries with the AC adaptor,
please pull out the phone cable. When the phone is connected with
the Radio, it would not charge the built-in Ni-MH batteries.

Four- Way Power Source
1. Battery Power: Insert 3 x "AA" batteries in the battery compartment.
Make sure you have the correct polarity. Put the power switch to
BATT/DC.
2. Solar: The built-in solar panel can be used to directly power the radio
even if the batteries are dead! The solar panel must face direct sunlight
to get enough energy to operate the radio's speaker. If you cannot
position the radio in direct sunlight try using the earphones.
Earphones require less energy to operate than the speaker does.
When switching to solar power always start with the volume control
at the minimum position. The higher you turn the volume the more
light you will need. Even when the main power is switched off, the
solar panel will still charge the built-in rechargeable batteries as
long as the solar panel is exposed to bright light.
The telescopic antenna 10 is for FM/TV/AIR/WB/SW stations. A wire
antenna is included which can be plugged into the earphone jack to
improve shortwave reception. The AM band uses an internal ferrite bar
antenna. Rotate or reposition the radio for best reception on the AM
(MW medium wave) band.
Station can be tuned in with rotary knob 4 . If a station is accurately
tuned in, the Tuning LED lights up unless the signal is very weak.
Shortwave: 2 Amust be on AM/SW position, 2 B to choose from
SW1/SW2/SW3/SW4
WB(Weather): set 2 A to WB, 2 B can be on any position.
AIR: set 2 A to AIR, 2 B can be on any position.

Power when turning the main power switch on. The first time you
charge the internal battery, it is recommended that you charge the
battery for no less than 4 hours, but no more than 6 hours. Knob 1
can be in any position while the battery is charging. If fully charged
for at least 5 hours, it will produce 10 hours or more of continuous
playing on all bands.
3. Solar Panel: If the main power switch is in the Off position, the solar
panel will charge the built-in batteries whenever there is enough light.
4. Regular batteries: it is recommended that you use alkaline "AA"
batteries for best performance. It depends on battery capacity for
listening time, from weeks to months. If you store your radio for an
extended period of time, we strongly recommend that you remove
the "AA" batteries from the radio.
3. Dynamo: Put power switch to DYN, the radio will work on the internal
built-in battery. You can crank it to charge the battery while the main
power is switched off. For improved charge efficiency, we recommended
that you switch off the radio while cranking the generator.
4. Adapter: Plug the AC adapter to a power outlet on selector 13 . This
adapter can be used to power the radio and charge the internal battery.
1. Dynamo: Switch main power off, then use crank handle 8 , at 2 turns
per second, cranking for 90 seconds, you will get about 30 minutes
radio play time.
2. Adapter (110V or 220V): The internal battery will begin charging as
soon as the adapter is plugged in. The radio will work on the adapter

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How long will the radio play when you use the Dynamo cranking to
charge the batteries?
A: There are several factors to be taken into consideration to answer
this question:
1. When using the crank as your source of power, we recommend
that you charge the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator
illuminates. If you use the dynamo when the batteries are almost
completely dead, your play time will be dramatically shorter.
Important: if the battery is completely exhausted, we recommend
that you use the AC adapter to rejuvenate the battery pack.
2. If you crank from a low battery, it will take approximately 2 minutes
of cranking to get 10 minutes play time.
3. The longer you crank, the longer time it will play. Turn the crank
1. Use soft cloth to clean the radio. Do not use aggressive polish or
cleaners.
2. Do not expose to moisture or temperature above 130 F
3. Take "AA" batteries out of the radio when you do not use the radio for
a long period of time.
