Frequently Asked Questions - Hybrid Duronic

How to turn the radio on and off?

Turn the volume controller counterclockwise to turn on and increase volume, and clockwise to decrease and turn off. A click is heard when turning on or off.

What are the available recharging methods?

The Duronic Hybrid can be recharged in three ways: dynamo (turn the crank at 2.5-3 turns/second), solar panel (expose the panel to the sun, full charge in 20-30 hours) or USB (via the mini-USB port, full charge in 8 hours).

How to improve radio reception?

For FM, fully extend the telescopic antenna and orient it for the best reception. For AM, the antenna is internal; move the device to pick up a better signal. Avoid high places or underground locations, and keep the device away from heat sources and other electronic devices.

Can I use the radio while it is charging?

Yes, you can use the radio while charging via USB or solar panel. However, when recharging by dynamo, it is not recommended to use it at the same time because the rotation must be constant.

What is the battery life after a full charge?

After a full charge (USB, solar or combined dynamo), the radio can operate for approximately 7 hours continuously.

Can I use headphones?

Yes, plug earphones or headphones into the 3.5 mm jack to listen to the radio privately.

What to do if the radio produces no sound?

First check the volume. If the light indicator is dim or absent, the battery is dead: recharge it. Make sure the antenna is properly extended for FM, or move the device for AM. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to maintain the battery?

To extend battery life, recharge it at least once a month by operating the dynamo for 1 minute. Avoid recharging for more than 5 minutes if the battery is not discharged, and do not let the battery drain completely too often.

Is the radio waterproof?

No, the Duronic Hybrid is not waterproof. Do not place the device on a wet or hot surface, and avoid dropping it in water.

How to recycle the device at end of life?

This product bears the WEEE symbol (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). Do not dispose of it with household waste. Take it to an appropriate collection point for recycling of components.

Operating Instructions

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.)

1. Charged by solar power: Put this unit on the windowsill, balcony and outdoors where sunlight can shine on. Let the sunlight shine on the solar panel vertically. Lighting of charging indicator shows that it is charging.

Note:

A. Let the whole surface of solar panel be shined when charging, otherwise you will only get low charging efficiency.

B. On cloudy days the solar panel can also charge the radio, but low charging efficiency.

C. Let the sunlight shine on the solar panel vertically to enhance charging efficiency.

D. Be aware of raining when charging outdoors.

1. Charged by outside power: Insert the SV USB power source to charge the internal battery, and about 6-Bhours later it will be fully charged.

2. Reception of radio:

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

B. FM/AM wave band shifting : push the switch down is FM, push it up is AM.

C. Searching ways: Turn the “tuning knob”, contrapose the “tuning display” to find the station you want to listen. When the signal is strong enough, the tuning indicator will light, then you can modulate the “tuning knob” slightly till the indicator brighter and make the volume more clear.

D. Use of antenna:

a). This product adopts telescoping antenna to receive signal for FM. When the signal is weak, you can pull out 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.

Note

a. It is advised to turn the volume to the optimal position (be comfortable) when you listen. It will be anamorphic if the sound is too loud.

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.

b. Earphone: Plug the earphone into the earphone jack, the loudhailer will be off at this time. Be caution the things below when using the earphone:

A. Adjusting the volume to proper position when listen, too loud or listen for a long time will affect your hearing.

B. Avoid listening when you have fall asleep.

Caution

1. Pay attention to the holding gesture when cranking which can protect your finger and nail from hurting. Keep rotating steadily.

2. In order to assure the using life of the battery and mechanical parts, pis pay attention to the things below:

a) Do not crank it for more than 5 minutes when the power of the battery is enough (lighting and radio normally) and less than 20 minutes when it runs out of power.

b) When the light is dim or the radio is soundless, it means the battery is lack of power badly, please turn off the light and radio or crank it for a while.

c) Cranking it as even as possible (keep rotating steadily,

2.5 or 3 circles per second is best). Avoid cranking too violent and quick or changing the cranking direction abruptly. Too slowly cranking would make current weak and influence the charging efficiency, and too violent cranking will possibly damage the driving system.

d) Do not crank it for a long time or too violent.

e) In order to prolong the lifespan of the battery, you should crank it for at least one minute once a month.

1. Do not place this product in which temperature or humidity is high. Do not drop or hit this product.

2. Tum off the light when charging to enhance the efficiency of charging.

3. The product will be a little hot if cranking for a long time.

4. We do not give notice again if the parameter of this product changed.

5. We reserve the final right to interpret this product.
