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.
