Cell Phone Crank Charging - Eton FR-300 Owner's Manual

American Red Cross FR-300 OWNER'S MANUAL
USING AN AC ADAPTER (not included)
Once plugged in, the AC adapter acts as a charger, charging the
internal Ni-MH battery pack. Charge it for 8 hours to achieve a
full charge.
1. Plug the adapter into the DC 4.5 V socket. If the socket for
the AC adapter on the case of the radio is labeled 5, ignore
this; it should be 4.5V.
2. For power, set the BATIERY/DYNAMO-ADAPTERIOFF switch to
the DYNAMO-ADAPTER position.
Only use an AC adapter of 4.5 VDC, negative polarity and
1OOmA current capability. To order the correct AC adapter call the
toll free number shown at the beginning of this manual, ask for
the parts department and order part # GPU3504.
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS WITH NO
POWER SOURCE
1. Set BATIERY/DYNAMO-ADAPTERIOFF switch to DYNAMOI
ADAPTOR.
2. While continually turning the dynamo crank, the radio, lights
and siren functions will work.
CELL PHONE CRANK CHARGING
Because cell phone batteries vary in their current ratings, we
cannot specify charging rates or usage time. 10 to 15 minutes of
cranking may result in 1 or more minutes of talk-time.
1. Set BATIERY/DYNAMO-ADAPTERIOFF switch to OFF position.
