Powering Your ER300
USB Charge Cable
Before the ER300 is used, the internal Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack should
be charged with the USB charge cable until the battery indicator icon indi-
cates a full charge. To charge the ER300 with the USB cable insert the USB
charge cable into a USB power source and plug the micro USB connector into
the port labeled “USB In” on the side of the radio. If the Li-/AA selector is in ‘Li’
position, the CHARGE
indicator light will be lit when the USB charge cable
is plugged in. The battery icon on the LCD will flash as the battery charges.
When the Li-ion battery has reached full charge, the battery icon will stop
flashing and will have 3 bars . It will take approximately 5.30 hours to
recharge a completely depleted battery pack using the USB charge cable.
Rechargeable Battery
The included rechargeable battery is located in the battery compartment
and is charged by turning the hand crank, exposing the solar panel to sunli-
ght, or by using the USB cable to attach to a USB power source. The battery is
specified as 3.7 VDC, 2000 mAh, lithium ion (Li-ion).
Warning:
• Only use Midland’s Li-ion battery pack.
