ER310 Power Sources Continued...
Dynamo Power
: Turning the hand crank charges the built-in
Li-ion battery pack. To charge the radio using the hand crank,
make sure the power source switch is in the "Li" position and start
turning the crank. The CHARGE indicator 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
of radio use time.
Solar Panel Charge
: Make sure the power source switch is
in the "Li" position. Then, place the ER310 where the solar panel
is exposed to direct sunlight. One hour of solar charging in optimal
sunlight conditions gives up to 45 minutes 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 CHARGE indicator light will be
lit while the unit is charging.
AA Battery Operation
: The ER310 is designed to operate
on six AA batteries (not included). To power the ER310 on 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 ER310.
