Introduction/Safety Instructions - C. Crane CC RADIO SOLAR Instruction Manual

Introduction/Safety Instructions

The CCRadio Solar is likely the first emergency radio that doesn't look like one. The idea simmered at
C. Crane for over five years while 10 prototypes were designed. It has an oversized AM antenna for superior
long distance reception. FM reception is good thanks to the latest chip technology. The solar panel is
oversized to help keep the battery charged.
It is simple to use if you prefer to keep it that way, but there are some hidden features listed underneath the
battery compartment cover. The radio is initially delivered set to "low power" consumption to conserve the
battery. While the radio is "ON", Press the number "1" and "5" keys simultaneously and the radio will switch to
high audio power. The special rubber shell is oil and ultra-violet resistant to yellowing over time.
Please consult the manual on how to charge your phone. Crisis hint: If all power lines and the phone system
are down, use texting to send a message with your cell phone. It requires very little power and a text
message can often get through to your loved ones when a normal phone call will not connect.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand all safety and operating instructions before the radio is operated.
Heat: Never put the radio in direct sunlight in an unventilated area or behind glass like a car's interior. The
appliance should be away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances
that produce heat.
If the radio is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, remove the batteries. The batteries may
leak and damage furniture or your radio.
