Charging the radio
The radio operates on a built-in Lithium-ion battery that can be recharged
either using the USB charging port or from a USB power adaptor (not
included) with a rated output of DC 5V, 1000mA. Reduced power,
distortion, ‘stuttering’ sounds or battery power indicator in low are all
signs that the battery needs to be recharged.
Before operating the radio for the first time please fully charge the
battery.
You can begin using the radio while charging. Please be aware that
in this case make sure the USB power source can provide 5V 1A of
electrical current. If not, it may damage the USB power source.
●Connect the (supplied) micro USB plug to the micro USB charging
port on the rear of the unit.
●Connect the (supplied) standard USB plug end of the cable to a
power USB port on a computer or other USB charging device.
When the battery is charging, the battery indicator light will
be solid red. After the battery is fully charged, the red battery
charging indicator will turn off.
