Eton FR400 owner manual Using AN AC Adapter, Emergency Operations with no Power Source

American Red Cross FR400 OWNER’S MANUAL

USING AN AC ADAPTER

Once plugged in, the AC adapter acts as a charger, charging the internal 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, the radio, lights and siren functions will work.

CELL PHONE CRANK CHARGING

Because cell phone batteries vary in their current ratings, we cannot specify charging rates or usage time. 10 to 15 minutes of cranking may result in 1 or more minutes of talk-time.

1.Set POWER switch to OFF position.

2.Plug the cell phone charging cord into the Phone Charge socket.
