CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

• Turn the crank for about 90 seconds. This will result in 30-40 minutes of low volume play.

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 POWER/VOLUME control to OFF position.
2. Select CELL with the slide switch.
3. Plug the cell phone charging cord into the USB Phone Charge socket.
4. Plug other end of your USB socket into the cell phone's charging socket.
5. Rotate the dynamo crank about 2 turns per second.

noTE: When charging a cell phone via the USB cell phone charger, it is important to turn the crank at least 2 revolutions per second, or until you see the green or orange LED above the crank handle turn on. This is an indication that the phone is receiving enough power from the radio. Continue to crank at this rate until you are satisfied that an appropriate level of charge has been received by your cell phone. If you decide to stop cranking for whatever reason, please wait at least 5 seconds before beginning to crank again. Not following these instructions may cause damage to your cell phone for which Eton disclaims any liability and will not be held liable for any actual or consequential damages related to this matter.
