PREPARATION FOR USE
IMPORTANT!
This flashlight/radio has built in rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries. The
batteries were fully charged when they were installed in the unit at our
factory. However, when not connected to an AC outlet the batteries will
slowly discharge even though the unit is not being used. We suggest
that you connect this unit to your AC outlet and allow it to charge for 24
hours, or at least over-night, before you use it.
When the built in batteries are fully charged you can expect approximately
5 hours of flashlight operation, or 7 hours of radio operation at medium
volume level. Of course if you are using the flashlight and the radio
simultaneously the operating time of each function will be reduced.
Connecting To An AC Outlet
Before using this unit for the first time it should be connected to a “live” AC outlet
and allowed to charge for 24 hours. We suggest that you do not connect this unit to
an AC outlet that is connected to a wall switch. To insure that the unit is always fully
charged and ready to use it should be connected to an AC outlet that is always
“live”.
For fas ter charging time make sure that the flashlight switch is set to the ‘OFF’
position and that the radio On/OFF-VOLUME control is also in the ‘OFF’ position.
Turn this control fully counter-clockwise until a ‘click’ is heard to insure that it is off.

To connect this unit to your AC outlet unfold the built-in AC plug located on the
bottom cabinet as shown and connect to your outlet.
Note: This device has a polarized plug and can only be
connected to a normal polarized residential/household
polarized outlet with the wider slot on the left side. This
is a safety feature.
When properly connected to the outlet the flashlight will
be facing upward toward the ceiling and the nightlight
will be facing downward toward the floor.

This device is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC power only. Do not
attempt to operate the radio on any other power source. You could cause damage
to the device that is not covered by your warranty.
If the plug will not fit, you may have an older non-polarized AC outlet. Do not defeat
the safety feature by trying to file the wider blade, or replacing the plug. Contact an
electrician to replace your outdated outlet.
