Using solar power

Important - The radio does not need to be switched on in order for the solar panel to operate.

1.In order to recharge your solarDAB radio's batteries using solar power, position the radio so that its integral solar panel receives direct sunlight. The more sunlight that falls on the solar panel - the more electricity it can generate to power the radio.

2.The solar indicator should be used as a positioning aid to achieve the greatest output from the solar panel.

3.The brightness of the solar indicator shows the level of solar energy reaching the solar panel.

4.Adjust the position of the radio so as to achieve maximum brightness of the solar indicator.

NOTE: Best performance of the solar panel will be achieved when the sun is directly overhead, and the sunlight is unobstructed by clouds, foliage, curtains, and the like. In certain situations and poorer light conditions, the solar panel may not be effective and should not be relied upon as the primary energy source for standard usage. The solar panel is designed as a supplementary energy source which under suitable light conditions is able to contribute up to 100% of the radio's energy requirement.

The solar panel will only deliver power to the radio, or charge the batteries under natural sunlight. It will not deliver charge in artifi cial light.

Do NOT attempt to charge the batteries by placing the solar panel directly under any kind of sun-lamp. This will cause irreversible damage to the radio and may damage the casing.
