Chapter 2 POWER SUPPLY MODE

There are 4 power supply to power the radio:

1. Micro USB Adapter Charging

(1) Connect the USB cable (included) to a regular AC power adapter (not

included).

(2) Plug the USB cable into the Micro USB port of the radio.

(3) Plug the AC adapter into a standard 110-220V outlet.

A 5V/2A AC power adapter is highly recommended.

2. Hand Crank Charging

Unfold the crank handle and rotate it in either direction (generating

350mA of current) for approximately 7 hours to fully charge the

flashlight.

Note: Rotate the crank handle at 2 revolutions per second and it will produce 300-

350mA of power.

3. Solar Panel Charging

The solar panel can be charged by placing it in the sunlight (do not charge

indoors)

Note: Solar panel charging will produce about 30-50mA of current, it is

difficult to fill the flashlight, mostly used to maintain the

rechargeable battery.

4. Rechargeable Lithium Polymer Battery

Do you have a question about the Raynic NOAA CR1020 and is the answer not in the manual?

This document describes the CR1020, a multi-functional device designed for emergency preparedness and daily use, combining a NOAA Weather Radio with various utility features.

Function Description

The CR1020 serves as an Emergency Alert Radio, capable of receiving AM/FM/NOAA weather/flashlights broadcasts. It is designed to keep users informed during all hazards, providing critical weather and emergency alerts. Beyond its primary radio function, it integrates several practical tools: a flashlight, a reading lamp, a telescopic antenna, and a solar panel for charging. It also features a USB output for charging external devices, making it a versatile power bank in emergency situations. The device supports multiple power sources, including a built-in rechargeable lithium polymer battery, solar charging, hand crank charging, and USB input.

Usage Features

1. Powering the Device: The CR1020 can be powered by multiple methods:

Micro USB Adapter Charging: Connect the USB cable (included) to a regular AC power adapter (not included) and plug it into the Micro USB port of the radio. A 5V/2A AC power adapter is highly recommended.
Hand Crank Charging: Unfold the crank handle and rotate it in either direction (generating 350mA of current) for approximately 7 hours to fully charge the flashlight. Rotate the crank handle at 2 revolutions per second to produce 300-350mA of power.
Solar Panel Charging: Place the device in direct sunlight. The solar panel will produce about 30-50mA of current. This method is primarily for maintaining the rechargeable battery, not for rapid charging.

2. Radio Operation:

Turn on the Radio: Turn the radio switch upward and hear a click to turn on the radio.
Band Selector: Toggle the selector to choose the band you want to listen to (AM, FM, or Weather Band).
Tune the Radio: Select the rotating disk until you receive the station you want.
Extend Telescopic Antenna: When listening to the radio, extend the telescopic antenna to receive the best signal, preferably near a window or in an open area for better reception.
NOAA Weather Radio: The device receives local weather band reports. When you change your location, whether for a day trip or a move, you may need to select a different band to get local reports for that location.

3. SOS Alert: In an emergency, you can turn on the SOS alert.

Press and hold the power button to turn on the SOS alert.
Press the power button again to turn off the SOS alert. The SOS mode, including the SOS light, will be accompanied by the SOS alarm sound at 116dB.

4. Flashlight Operation:

Press the power button continuously to adjust the light brightness and mode:
- High brightness (300 lumens)
- Medium brightness (150 lumens)
- Low brightness (75 lumens)
- Strobe mode (300 lumens)
- SOS light mode (300 lumens)
If you press the power button interval of more than 4s, the second time you press the power button will directly off the light.

5. Reading Lamp: Key out the solar panel so that it is 90 degrees to the flashlight, then the reading light is on and can be used as a night light.

6. Charging External Devices (Power Bank Function):

Connect your phone charging cable with the USB output port by opening the covered rubber flap.
The CR1020 has no power, you can rotate the crack handle for 8-15 minutes (the time depends on your speed of rotation), then your phone will get enough power to start up.
Note: This feature is only for charging Micro USB devices. Other USB devices should be charged with original charging cable.

Maintenance Features

Battery Status Indicator: The device includes a battery status indicator to help you monitor the charge level. A red light indicates charging, a green light indicates a full charge, and a red flashing light indicates a low battery.
Rechargeable Battery: The built-in rechargeable lithium polymer battery is designed for long-term use. Regular charging through various methods helps maintain its lifespan.
Cleaning: The manual does not specify cleaning instructions, but general electronic device care suggests keeping it free from dust and moisture.
