Using the unit with the built-in
rechargeable battery (see fig. A)
You may charge the built-in rechargeable battery and listen to the radio.
1 Pull out the POWER GENERATOR handle.
2 To charge, turn the handle one way to either direction.
Turn the handle slowly in the beginning, and speed up the turning little by
little. Then, keep turning the handle continuously at the speed that lights the
CHARGE indicator in green.
When you charge, the built-in rechargeable battery will be charged regardless
of the setting of the BATT SELECTOR switch.
Notes
• Be sure to fold in the telescopic antenna when charging. If you leave the
telescopic antenna unfolded, the telescopic antenna may hit the surroundings
and it is dangerous.
• If you turn the POWER GENERATOR handle while listening to the radio,
there may be a noise interference. In this case, turn off the radio and then
charge the battery.
On charging
When you turn the handle, the power generation starts and charges the built-in
rechargeable battery. The generation capacity may vary depending on the speed.
At first, turn the handle slowly and then speed up the turning little by little and
the CHARGE indicator will light up. Keep on turning the handle for 1 minute
at the speed that lights the CHARGE indicator in green, which will be up to
60 minutes* of listening to the radio. Use this as an charging standard.
Even when you turn the handle at the speed that the CHARGE indicator does not
light, it will charge the built-in rechargeable battery and you may listen to the
radio. The CHARGE indicator is not an indicator for charging
capacity.
* For AM radio reception and 40 minutes for FM radio reception. The listening
time may differ depending on the operation of the unit.
When the rechargeable battery becomes exhausted
The sound will become weak and distorted.
If this occurs, turn the POWER GENERATOR handle to charge the
rechargeable battery.
Notes
• When you use the rechargeable battery for the first time, after a long period of
time of disuse, leaving the power on for a long time or the rechargeable battery
is exhausted, the battery life may be short even after charging it.
In this case, charge (for more than a minute) and discharge the battery several
times. The battery life will be restored.
• If the rechargeable battery capacity becomes half the normal life, please consult
the nearest Sony dealer.
