USING AN AC ADAPTER/CHARGER OR USB CORD TO PLAY
THE RADIO OR TO RECHARGE THE Ni-MH BATTERY
To purchase an AC adapter/charger (not included), order part#
FR500-ACA-US by calling 1-800-793-6542. Generically it has
an output of 5 to 6 Volts DC, positive polarity and no more than
300mA current capability.
Turn OFF the radio with the Band Selecting Knob. Plug the AC
adapter/charger (not included) into the left socket, labeled ‘DC IN
5V’, under the right rubber cover on the back of the radio. Select
the DYNAMO position with the Power Supply Knob. Turn on the
radio by selecting a band with the Band Selecting Knob. The red
light above the crank should turn on, noting that the AC adapter
is plugged in. If your rechargeable Ni-MH battery is plugged in,
it starts charging as long as you select DYNAMO. To get a full
charge, charge it for about 8 hours.
If an AC adapter is plugged in with the rechargeable battery connected
and DYNAMO selected, if there is an AC power failure, the radio will
automatically play using the rechargeable battery. If the AC adapter is
plugged in and BATTERY is selected, the rechargeable Ni-MH battery
doesn’t charge. If both types of batteries are disconnected, the AC
adapter will play the radio with DYNAMO or BATTERY selected.
Purchase a USB cord with a mini-USB plug on one end and a regu-
lar USB plug on the other end, from a local electronics store or on
the Internet. If using a USB cord, plug one end into the mini-USB
socket under the left rubber cover on the back of the radio, and
