CHARGING JACK” on the side of the radio. The green “DYNAMO” light will glow.
To fully charge the battery pack, plug the charging adapter in. We recommend
keeping it plugged in for no more than 12 hours.
Note: The AC charging adapter should only be used to charge the battery pack
and should not be used to power the radio on a constant basis. Leaving the
charging adapter plugged into the radio for long periods of time will shorten the
life of the internal battery pack (See Page 4).
Note: We do not recommend using the AC charging adapter while your cell phone
is connected to the radio. Many newer cell phones require more power than the
power adapter can supply. This can cause the cell phone to discharge and possibly
damage the power adapter.
