POWER SOURCES
1. Rechargeable battery pack (included).
2. Solar power adapter.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
• Turn the crank for about 90 seconds. This will result in
30-40 minutes of low volume play.
• Place the unit directly in sunlight. The solar power adapter
on the top of the unit charges it automatically. About
8-10 hours in the sun will allow about 3-5 hours of play.
CELL PHONE CRANK CHARGING
Because cell phone batteries vary in their current ratings,
we cannot specify charging rates or usage time. 10 to 15
minutes of cranking may result in 1 or more minutes of
talk-time.
1. Set POWER/VOLUME control to OFF position.
2. Select CELL with the slide switch.
3. Plug the cell phone charging cord into the USB Phone
Charge socket.
4. Plug other end of your USB socket into the cell phone’s
charging socket.
5. Rotate the dynamo crank about 2 turns per second.
NOTE: When charging a cell phone via the USB cell
phone charger, it is important to turn the crank at least 2
revolutions per second, or until you see the green or orange
LED above the crank handle turn on. This is an indication
that the phone is receiving enough power from the radio.
Continue to crank at this rate until you are satised that an
appropriate level of charge has been received by your cell
phone. If you decide to stop cranking for whatever reason,
please wait at least 5 seconds before beginning to crank
again. Not following these instructions may cause damage to
your cell phone for which Eton disclaims any liability and will
not be held liable for any actual or consequential damages
related to this matter.
