DO YOU NEED HELP?

Thank you for purchasing the FR300 AM/FM/NOAA-WEATHER/
VHF-TV radio - a perfect 'emergency' radio, a great radio for daily
use and a portable cell phone charger when other charging methods
are out of reach. Its unique design allows it to be powered from a
variety of sources: 1.) From the built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery
that takes charge from the dynamo crank and from an AC adaptor
(AC adaptor not included); 2.) From 3 AA batteries; 3.) From the
AC adaptor alone (AC adaptor not included); 4.) From the dynamo
crank alone, even with no battery pack installed.
Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.,
North American Pacific Time.
