Dynamo Power; Aa Battery Operation; Charging External Devices - Midland ER300 Instruction Manual

• Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any battery packs other
than the ones indicated in this manual. This could cause leakage and da-
mage to the radio.

Dynamo Power

Turning the hand crank charges the built-in Li-ion battery pack. To charge
the radio using the hand crank, start turning the crank. The
light will be lit while the unit is being cranked. Speed of cranking and
length of time cranked will determine the charge of the Li-ion battery.
The battery icon on the LCD will flash as the battery charges. When the
Li-ion battery has reached full charge, the battery icon will stop flashing
and will have 3 bars
One minute of cranking gives up to 9 minutes approx. of radio use time.
Solar Panel Charge
Place the ER300 where the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight. One
hour of solar charging in optimal sunlight conditions gives up to 30 minu-
tes of radio use time. The battery icon on the LCD will flash as the battery
charges. When the Li-ion battery has reached full charge, the battery icon
will stop flashing and will have 3 bars.
The indicator light will be lit while the unit is charging.

AA Battery Operation

The ER300 is designed to operate with 6 x AA batteries (not included). To
power the ER300 with its AA batteries, flip the power source switch to the
"AA" position. Warning: For long-term storage, it is recommended that the
AA batteries be removed to prevent leakage and damage to the ER300.

Charging External Devices

Mobile phones and USB-powered devices can be charged using the USB
charge cable for that device. Connect the charge cable to the USB Outlet
port on the side of the ER300 labeled "USB Out". If the radio is on it will
automatically turn off and go into charge mode.
