CONNECTING POWER

Using the Rechargeable Battery Pack

Your radio has a built-in power generator to charge the internal re-
chargeable battery pack. When you rotate the crank for as little as
2 minutes, the generator charges the Ni-Cd battery to power the
radio for over 30 minutes.

1. To remove the battery compart-

ment cover, push the cover’s
tabs down and pull the cover in
the direction of the arrows
marked on the cover. 

2. The supplied Ni-Cd battery is

installed but not connected.
Insert the battery pack’s white
plug into the socket. 

Cautions: 

• The battery pack’s polarized

plug fits into the socket only
one way. Do not force it. If the plug does not fit properly,
turn it over and try again.

• The supplied battery pack plug has the red wire towards

the top of the radio when inserted correctly.

3. Replace the compartment cover.

4. Set

takes place in either position.
