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

PLAYING THE RADIO 1 Rotate DYNAMO/BATT switch to BATT if you have installed AA

batteries. To power the radio using the Ni-MH pack with the

generator, rotate DYNAMO/BATT switch to DYNAMO. 2 Set band selector FM/MW/LW/SW switch to the desired band. 3 Rotate TUNING control to select the desired station. 4 Adjust VOLUME control to a comfortable listening level. 5 To turn off the radio, set VOLUME/ON/OFF switch to OFF.
