11. Outdoor battery charging
11.1. Solar panel
To recharge the radio, place the radio's solar panel directly into sunlight. The panel
can be tilted for optimal alignment. Be careful to not shade any part of the solar panel.
Even small shadows can drastically decrease the panel's performance. Artificial light
sources mostly do not provide enough energy to charge the radio.
5 hours of solar charging can power the radio for about 15 minutes or the integrated
torch for about 1 hour.
11.2. Hand crank
To recharge the radio, extend the hand crank and turn it in either direction. For optimal
charging, turn the crank at 120 - 150 rpm (2 - 2.5 times a second). 30 minutes of
turning can power the radio for about 15 minutes.
12. SOS emergency function
Use this function in an emergency to alert people near your location. To activate,
long press the SOS button on the bottom of the radio. The radio will play a loud
siren and flash a red and blue signal light.
Attention: The siren is very loud. Prolonged close range exposure can cause hearing
damage. Try to set up the radio some distance away, when using the emergency
function. Use of the emergency function drains the battery at an excessive rate.
13. Torch
To turn on the torch, press the
button on top of the radios. If you press the button
a second time, the light flashes.
If the solar panel is folded upwards, the
button does not activate the torch, but the
reading light under the solar module instead. This can be operated in 3 different levels.
