Carica iniziale

Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the radio's internal 2000mAh Li-ion battery using the USB charging method.

  1. Ricarica USB:

    Connect the provided USB cable to the radio's micro-USB input port and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port, power bank). The charging indicator light will illuminate. Charging typically takes several hours for a full charge.

  2. Ricarica a manovella:

    Extend the hand crank from the back of the radio. Rotate the crank clockwise or counter-clockwise at a steady pace (approximately 130-150 RPM) for 3-5 minutes to generate sufficient power for short-term use of the radio or flashlight. Continuous cranking can also charge the internal battery.

  3. Ricarica solare:

    Place the radio with the solar panel facing direct sunlight. The solar panel will convert sunlight into electricity to charge the internal battery. This method is most effective for maintaining battery charge or for emergency situations when other power sources are unavailable. It is not intended for rapid or full charging from a depleted state.
