To recharge the radio, place the radio’s solar panel directly into sunlight. The panel can be tilted for optimal alignment. Be careful to not shade any part of the solar panel.

To recharge the radio, extend the hand crank and turn it in either direction. For optimal charging, turn the crank at 120 - 150 rpm (2 - 2.5 times a second). 30 minutes of turning can power the radio for about 15 minutes.
