Charging

Solar Panel

To use the solar panel to charge Survival Scout, place the loudspeaker in direct sunlight for
best results. It can take up to 40 hours to fully recharge the battery using the solar panel.
When Survival Scout is powered on and the solar panel is receiving enough sunlight to
activate charging, the Solar Icon will illuminate. When Survival Scout is powered off, the Solar
Icon will not illuminate, but the unit will still charge.

Hand Crank

To use the hand crank to charge Survival Scout:
1. Lift the handle up and out from the side of Survival Scout.
2. Hold Survival Scout steady with one hand, and grip the handle of the hand crank with the
other.
3. Rotate the handle at a steady pace, about two revolutions per second.
4. When Survival Scout is powered on and the hand crank is providing a charge to Survival
Scout, the Hand Crank Icon will light. When Survival Scout is powered off, the Hand
Crank Icon will not illuminate, but the unit will still charge.
Using the hand crank to charge Survival Scout for 10 minutes yields 1% of battery life. It can
take up to 16 hours to fully recharge the battery using the hand crank.
You can use the hand crank to charge the battery at the same time as Solar Panel charging. It
can take up to 11 hours to fully recharge the battery using the hand crank and solar panel at
the same time.

Power Outlet

To charge Survival Scout using a standard power outlet, insert the included power
adapter (15 VDC, 2.8 A, center-positive) into the power adapter input and connect it to a
power outlet. It can take up to 5.5 hours to fully recharge the battery using the power adapter.
When Survival Scout is powered on and connected to power, the Lightning Bolt Icon will
illuminate. The movement of the Battery Level Indicator will show the battery is charging.
