PREPARATION FOR USE
IMPORTANT! T his flashlight/radio has built in rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries. The batteries were f ully charged when they were installed in the unit at our factory . How ever, when not connected to an AC outlet the batteries will slowly d ischarge 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 hou rs, or at least over-night, before you use it.
When the built in batterie s are fully charged you can expect approximately 5 hours o f flashlight operation, or 7 hours of radio operation at medium volu me level. Of course if you are using the flashlight and the radio simultaneo usly the operating time of each function will be reduced.
Connec ting 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 outle t 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 ra dio 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.
