American Red Cross SOLARLINK FR500 OWNER’S MANUAL

SOLAR POWER

When you’re in sunlight set the power switch to the SOLAR posi- tion. This position also recharges the Ni-MH rechargeable battery.

DYNAMO POWER

The rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal-hydride) battery is in the battery compartment. To use it plug the battery into the socket adjacent to it, then set the power switch to the DYNAMO position. You may have to charge the battery; to do this turn the crank for 90 seconds. The rechargeable battery will eventually lose its ability to hold a charge. Call Eton Corporation to order another one.
