USING AN AC ADAPTER

Once plugged in, the AC adapter acts as a charger, charging the inter- nal Ni-MH battery pack. Charge it for 8 hours to achieve a full charge.

1.Plug the adapter into the DC 4.5 V socket.

2.For power, set the BATTERY/DYNAMO-ADAPTER/OFF switch to the DYNAMO-ADAPTER position.

Only use an AC adapter of 4.5 VDC, negative polarity and 100mA current capability. To order the correct AC adapter call the toll free number shown at the beginning of this manual, ask for the parts department and order part # GPU3504.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS WITH NO

POWER SOURCE

1.Set power selector switch to DYNAMO/ADAPTOR.

2.While continually turning the dynamo crank, radio stations can be tuned and the lights and siren function.
