Introduction/ Safety Instructions

Introduction

The CC Skywave radio uses the latest in digital chip technology along with our own
techniques developed at C. Crane. This new travel radio is a travel essential for two big reasons.
The cost of using data on your smart phone overseas is prohibitive for most people and you
can listen to airport departure and approach including your pilot to nd out what is going on
when nobody else knows.

The AM/FM, Shortwave and the Aviation band gives you information and insight into the
country you are visiting. Small and lightweight but with high quality reception and features.
Easy button navigation makes it a superior companion for night time listening at home or
abroad. If you have any question about your radio, please give us a call or check out

READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read and understand all safety and operating instructions before the radio is operated.

2. Heat: Never put the radio in direct sunlight in an unventilated area or behind glass like a car’s interior. The
appliance should be away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances
that produce heat.

3. If the radio is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, remove the batteries. The batteries may
leak and damage furniture or your radio.

4. The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions.
All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

5. WARNING: DO NOT CHARGE ALKALINE BATTERIES. Use only the recommended power adapter that

we supply for recharging NiMh batteries. It is likely to damage the radio charging circuit by using
any other type of USB power supply. The Skywave will recharge a set of AA NiMh in less than 10
hours. Never mix batteries with different chemistries, or old and new batteries together.
