The MMR-88 is powered by an 850mAh rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
(supplied). Before operating the radio for the rst time, ensure that you
fully charge the supplied battery.

Note:
Please use one of the following methods to recharge your radio or when
the battery power indicator LED blinks indicating the battery power is
low.
1.
2.
NOTE:
The radio will begin charging the Lithium-ion battery. Charging time will
take approx. 2 hours to be fully charged. The battery power icon will
stop ashing when the radio is fully charged. Reduced power, distortion,
stuttering sounds or when the battery power indicator light is low are all
signs that the battery needs to be recharged.
NOTE:
The radio can play approx. 10 hours when the battery is fully charged.
Inserting the supplied rechargeable battery
Open the battery compartment on the back of the unit by pushing the
battery door following the arrow direction.
Insert the supplied rechargeable battery into the space in the
compartment. Make sure the battery is inserted with correct polarity as
shown in the compartment.
Recharging the radio
Using the supplied USB to Micro USB cable simply plug the USB end
into a USB socket on a computer, tablet or any USB power supply.
Then plug the Micro USB end into the Micro USB socket on the right
hand side of the radio.
Using an AC adapter with a Micro USB connector (not supplied) plug
the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet. Then plug the Micro USB
end into the Micro USB socket on the right hand side of the radio. The
battery power icon will illuminate showing that charging is in progress.
The CHARGE LED indicator will also be on at the same time during
the charging process.

Important:
The radio does not need to be switched on in order for the solar panel to
operate.

Using Dynamo power
Make sure the telescopic antenna is in the rest position before rotating
the dynamo handle.
Take the Dynamo power handle from its rest position.
Rotate the Dynamo power handle approx. 120 rotations per minute,
either clock-wise or counter-clock wise until the charging LED indicator
appears red.
Under normal listening conditions, one minute of charging from
Dynamo power will allow you to listen to the radio for approx. 5-7
minutes (AM band mode using the speaker at a moderate volume
level).
Make sure the handle is in its rest position after charging is completed.
Using solar power
In order to recharge your MMR-88 battery using solar power, position
the radio so that the solar panel receives direct sunlight. The more
direct sunlight that shines on the solar panel, the more electricity it can
generate to power the radio.
Adjust the position of the radio to achieve maximum brightness of the
CHARGE indicator LED.
It takes approx.15 hours to fully charge the battery under direct
sunlight.

GB

Note:
The best performance of the solar panel will be achieved when the sun
is directly overhead, and the sunlight is unobstructed by clouds, foliage,
curtains etc. In certain situations and poor light conditions, the solar
panel may not be effective and should not be relied upon as the primary
energy source for standard usage. The solar panel is designed as a
supplementary energy source which under suitable light conditions is
able to contribute up to 100% of the radio energy requirements.
The solar panel will charge the battery only under natural sunlight. It will
not deliver a charge in articial light.
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery by placing the solar panel directly
under any kind of sun-lamp, this will cause irreversible damage to the
radio and may damage the casing. (Doing so will void all warranties)
Setting the clock

After the radio is charged, the display will appear with (- : --) Press and
hold BAND/TIME SET button until the hour setting begins blinking.

minute indicator should now be blinking, press the Tuning button UP/
DOWN until the desired minutes are displayed. Press BAND/TIME SET
button again to complete clock setting. The time should display solidly
with the colon blinking periodically.

réparation est nécessaire lorsque l’appareil a été endommagé de
quelque sorte, par exemple si le cordon d’alimentation ou la prise
sont endommagés, si du liquide a été répandu ou si des objets sont
tombés dans l’appareil, si ce dernier a été exposé aux moisissures
ou à la pluie, s’il ne fonctionne pas normalement, ou qu’il a chuté.
L’appareil ne doit pas être exposé aux gouttes ou aux
éclaboussements et les objets remplis de liquides, tels que des
vases, ne doivent pas être placés près de l'appareil.
Pour réduire le risque d'incendie ou de choc électrique, n'exposez

excessives telles que la lumière du soleil, le feu ou autres.
REMARQUE IMPORTANTE:
Pour être conforme aux exigences de conformité des
radiofréquences de la FCC, aucun changement sur l’antenne ou sur l’
appareil n’est autorisée. Tout changement sur l’antenne ou l’appareil
pourrait aboutir à un dépassement des conditions d’exposition aux
radiofréquences par l’appareil et annuler le droit de l’utilisateur à faire
fonctionner l’appareil.
ATTENTION:
Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique, ne procédez à aucune
réparation autre que celles détaillées dans ces instructions
