ER300 Owner’s Manual

Powering Your ER300

USB Charge Cable: Before the ER300 is used, the internal rechargeable battery pack should be charged with the USB charge cable until the battery indicator icon indicates a full charge. To charge the ER300 with the USB cable, switch the power source switch to the “Li” position. Then, insert the USB charge cable into a USB power source and plug the mini USB connector into the port labeled “USB In” on the side of the radio. The CHARGE indicator light will be lit when the USB charge cable is plugged in. The battery icon on the LCD will flash as the battery charges. When the Li-ion battery has reached full charge, the battery icon will stop flashing and will have 3 bars. It will take approximately 5.5 hours to recharge a completely depleted battery pack using the USB charge cable.

Rechargeable Battery: The included rechargeable battery is located in the battery compartment and is charged by turning the hand crank, exposing the solar panel to sunlight, or by using the USB cable to attach to a USB power source. The battery is specified as 3.7 VDC, 2000 mAh, lithium ion (Li-ion).

Warning:

•Only use Midland’s Li-ion battery pack.

•Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any battery packs other than the ones indicated in this manual. This could cause leakage and damage to the radio.
