Preparation For Use; Connecting To An Ac Outlet - Emerson Survivor RP3228 Owner's Manual

PREPARATION FOR USE

IMPORTANT!
This flashlight/radio has built in rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries. The
batteries were fully charged when they were installed in the unit at our
factory. However, when not connected to an AC outlet the batteries will
slowly discharge even though the unit is not being used. We suggest
that you connect this unit to your AC outlet and allow it to charge for 24
hours, or at least over-night, before you use it.
When the built in batteries are fully charged you can expect approximately
5 hours of flashlight operation, or 7 hours of radio operation at medium
volume level. Of course if you are using the flashlight and the radio
simultaneously the operating time of each function will be reduced.

Connecting To An AC Outlet

Before using this unit for the first time it should be connected to a "live" AC outlet
and allowed to charge for 24 hours. We suggest that you do not connect this unit to
an AC outlet that is connected to a wall switch. To insure that the unit is always fully
charged and ready to use it should be connected to an AC outlet that is always
"live".
For faster charging time make sure that the flashlight switch is set to the ' OFF'
position and that the radio On/OFF-VOLUME control is also in the ' OFF' position.
Turn this control fully counter-clockwise until a ' click' is heard to insure that it is off.
