AXIS OWNER’S MANUAL
USING AND CHARGING THE
RECHARGABLE BATTERY
The rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) battery is located in the battery compartment. To use it, plug the battery into the socket adjacent to it, press the DYN button (front right side of radio) and then the POWER button. You may have to charge the battery. To do this, simply turn the crank for 90 seconds. You can also charge via mini USB located under DC-IN (5V) on the back of the radio. After charging, press DYN and then POWER. After a few years the rechargeable battery will eventually lose its ability to hold a charge. Contact Etón Corporation to order a replacement.
While crank charging the Ni-MH battery, the battery charge indicator (located on front right side of radio) turns red. While charging the battery with the USB cord, the charging light turns red while charging and turns green when fully charged.
A fully charged rechargeable Ni-MH battery will play for about 4 to 5 hours, at low volume. Crank charging for 1 minute will play the radio for about 5 minutes, at low volume.
Warning: If you have the rechargeable battery unplugged, do not turn the crank, as this can cause overload to internal components, and possibly damage them.
