CONNECTING POWER
You can power your radio from any of these sources.
· Internal AA batteries (not supplied)
· Built-in power generator (dynamo crank handle) charges the
internal Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack (supplied)
The supplied Ni-MH battery is installed but not connected. Insert
the battery pack plug into the two pin battery pack socket. Replace
the compartment cover.
Using AA Batteries
Your radio can use two AA batteries
(not supplied) for power.
Caution:
· Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
· Do not mix old and new batteries or
different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable).

Using Rechargeable Batteries
Your radio has a built-in power dynamo which can charge the internal
rechargeable battery pack and let you play your radio without the AA
batteries. When you rotate the crank handle for as little as 2 minutes, the
dynamo recharges the Ni-MH battery which powers the radio for approx.
30 minutes. Follow these steps to power your radio using dynamo and
the rechargeable battery pack.
1 Remove the battery compartment cover.
2 The supplied Ni-MH battery is installed but not connected. Insert
the battery pack plug into the two pin battery pack socket. Replace
the compartment cover.
Caution: The battery packs polarized plug fits into the socket only one
way. If the plug does not fit properly, turn it round and try again. Do not
force it into the socket.
3 Set DYNAMO/BATT switch to DYNAMO or BATT. Charging takes
place using either position.
4 Set VOLUME/ON/OFF switch to OFF.
5 Lift the crank handle and rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise.
Radio operation time depends on the number of turns and the time
per turn. For example,
approximately 2 turns per second
for 2 minutes will provide about
30 minutes of radio operation at a
medium volume level. You can
recharge the battery pack even while
the radio plays.
6 Return the crank to the folded
position.
Replace the Ni-MH battery when the play time reduces to an unaccept-
able level.
1 Remove the battery compartment cover.
2 Unplug the rechargeable battery pack connector and lift the pack
out of the compartment.
3 Insert a new battery pack plug into the socket and place the
battery into the compartment.
Caution:The supplied battery pack plug has the red wire toward the top
of the radio when inserted correctly. To ensure proper polarity, only use
the supplied or recommended replacement battery pack.
4 Replace the compartment cover.
OPERATION
