Operation Method

1. Cranking for power: Unlock the handle, crank it at the speed of 2.5 to 3 circles per second. The faster you crank, the higher efficiency to charge. (It's better to crank it for no more than 4 circles per second.)

2. Charged by outside power: Connect with the 5V adapter to charge the internal battery, and about 6-8 hours later it will be fully charged.

3. Charge for digital devices, mobile phone, etc. Connect this product with other digital devices via connection cable, unlock the handle, crank it at the speed of 2.5 to 3 circles per second. Illumination of charging indicator indicates that charge is working.

4. Reception of radio:

A. Operation of the power switch and volume adjusting: First make sure the power switch is at "ON" position. Turn the volume knob clockwise to increase the volume. Contrariwise, turn the volume switch anticlockwise can decrease the volume gradually, a "crack" sound will be heard to show power off.

B. Wave band shifting : Push the wave band converting switch to choose FM, AM.

C. Station Search: Observe the display screen while tuning and select the radio program you needed. Tune the knob to an optimal position in which the reception effect is the best.

D. Use of antenna:

a). This product adopts telescoping antenna to receive signal for FM. When the signal is weak, you can extend the antenna or change the direction of the antenna to find the optimal position, thus can improve the effect of radio. Whereas, shrink the antenna when the signal is strong.

b). It adopts built-in magnetic antenna to receive signal for AM. You can change the position of the product properly when the signal is weak.

DURONIC

Note:

a. It is advised to turn the volume to the optimal position (be comfortable) when you listen.

b. Avoid places like high building, basement, etc as possible as you can, such places will badly influence the effect of the reception. Leave far away from the induction cooker, fluorescent lamp, car generator, motor, computer or such electrical equipment that may disturb the signal easily.

5. Time setting

1) Local time setting

Press and hold the "Time set" button, then press the hour adjust button and minute adjust button to adjust time, after adjusting the time, release the button, the system will recognize automatically.

2) Timing power on setting

Press and hold the “Alarm set” button, then press the hour adjust button and minute adjust button to adjust time, after adjusting the power on time, press the “Alarm ON/OFF” button to confirm it.

Tips: To turn on or to turn off the timing power on, press the "Alarm ON/OFF" button.

1. Use of Background light: When at night, press the background light button for lighting. Lasts for 10 seconds.
