SOLARLINKFR600RDS OWNER’S MANUAL

Note: The Power Supply Knob and the Band Selecting Knob are on

the right side of the radio. The Power Supply Knob is on top and the

Band Selecting Knob is on the bottom. The radio is turned OFF with

the Band Selecting Knob placed in the OFF position. Turn the radio

on by positioning this knob to any band.

USING 3 AA BATTERIES

Install 3 AA alkaline batteries using the polarity diagram inside the

battery compartment (on the back of the radio). To turn on the

radio using AA batteries, select BATTERY with the Power Supply

Knob. It will play for about 4 to 5 hours, at low volume.

USING THE INTERNAL RECHARGABLE Ni-MH BATTERY

The Ni-MH battery comes with the radio. It is in the battery compartment

and needs to be plugged into the socket next to it. Once it’s plugged in,

select the DYNAMO position with the Power Supply Knob. To partially

charge the battery, turn OFF the radio with the Band Selecting Knob,

select the DYNAMO position with the power selector switch and turn the

crank at two turns per second, for 90 seconds; the radio will play at low

volume for about 5 minutes, then crank again. Turn the radio on with the

Band Selecting Knob.

USING THE SOLAR PANEL TO RECHARGE THE Ni-MH BATTERY

Charging with solar charges the Ni-MH rechargeable battery. Turn

the radio OFF with the Band Selecting Knob. Select SOLAR with the

Power Supply Knob. Place the radio in direct sunlight (not through a

window or in the shade), with the sun shining directly on the solar

panel. After a few minutes of charging you may be able to play the

radio while it’s charging by turning it on with the Band selection

Knob; if not, give it a little more time to 3 charge. Leave it in direct

SOLARLINKFR600RDS OWNER’S MANUAL

sunlight for 8 to 10 hours to get a full charge. After charging, if

you take it out of the sunlight, be sure to select DYNAMO with the

Power Supply Knob.

USING AN AC ADAPTER/CHARGER OR USB CORD TO PLAY

THE RADIO OR TO RECHARGE THE Ni-MH BATTERY

To purchase an AC adapter/charger (not included), order part#

FR500-ACA-US by calling 1-800-793-6542. Generically it has

an output of 5 to 6 Volts DC, positive polarity and no more than

300mA current capability.

Turn OFF the radio with the Band Selecting Knob. Plug the AC

adapter/charger (not included) into the left socket, labeled ‘DC IN

5V’, under the right rubber cover on the back of the radio. Select

the DYNAMO position with the Power Supply Knob. Turn on the

radio by selecting a band with the Band Selecting Knob. The red

light above the crank should turn on, noting that the AC adapter

is plugged in. If your rechargeable Ni-MH battery is plugged in,

it starts charging as long as you select DYNAMO. To get a full

charge, charge it for about 8 hours.

If an AC adapter is plugged in with the rechargeable battery connected

and DYNAMO selected, if there is an AC power failure, the radio will

automatically play using the rechargeable battery. If the AC adapter is

plugged in and BATTERY is selected, the rechargeable Ni-MH battery

doesn’t charge. If both types of batteries are disconnected, the AC

adapter will play the radio with DYNAMO or BATTERY selected.

Purchase a USB cord with a mini-USB plug on one end and a regu-

lar USB plug on the other end, from a local electronics store or on

the Internet. If using a USB cord, plug one end into the mini-USB

socket under the left rubber cover on the back of the radio, and

SOLARLINKFR600RDS OWNER’S MANUAL

the other end into a computer’s USB socket (with the computer

turned on) or an AC adapter with a USB socket. Operating from a

USB cord has the same characteristics as an AC adapter, with the

following exceptions.

If the USB cord is plugged in with the rechargeable battery and/

or AA batteries connected, if there is a failure of the USB power

source, power will be taken from the rechargeable battery if DY-

NAMO is selected or from the AA batteries if BATTERY is selected.

VOLUME CONTROL

Turning the Volume Adjusting Knob (located on the lower right of the

radio) clockwise turns up the volume; counterclockwise turns down

the volume. Always turn down the volume before using earphones.

CHARGING CELL PHONES (cell phone charging cord not included)

If you revolve the Power Supply Knob to the OFF/PHONE CHARGER

position the radio will charge cell phones. Plug the cell phone charging

cord into the USB PHONE CHARGER jack at the rear of the radio. Plug

the cell phone charging adapter tip into the other end of the cord and

then into the jack of the cell phone. Then put the radio in the sun or

revolve the hand crank to charge the cell phone. About 10 minutes of

cranking results in one or two short emergency calls.

To order a cell phone charging cord and tip for your cell phone, please

contact www.igo.com on the web and order a cell phone charging cable

and a cell phone charging tip for your brand and model of cell phone.

NOTE: When charging a cell phone via the USB cell phone charger,

it is important to turn the crank at least 2 revolutions per second, or

until you see the green or orange LED above the crank handle turn on.

This is an indication that the phone is receiving enough power from

SOLARLINKFR600RDS OWNER’S MANUAL

the radio. Continue to crank at this rate until you are satised that

an appropriate level of charge has been received by your cell phone.

If you decide to stop cranking for whatever reason, please wait at

least 5 seconds before beginning to crank again. Not following these

instructions may cause damage to your cell phone for which Eton

disclaims any liability and will not be held liable for any actual or

consequential damages related to this matter.
