Radio Operation
TUNING
The CC Solar Observer features three bands: AM, FM and WEATHER.
1. Position the power switch to BATTERY or DYNAMO.
2. Select band by positioning the “BAND SWITCH”.
3. Adjust TUNING dial to desired frequency. For tuning weather, position
the WEATHER dial to the desired channel.
4. Adjust volume by rotating the “VOLUME CONTROL”.
DISPLAY LIGHT
To turn the display light on, move the light switch to the “DISPLAY” position
(see Top of Radio diagram on page 5). The display light will remain on
unless you turn it off.
FLASHLIGHT
Located on the left side of the CC Solar Observer is a flashlight consisting
of three bright LEDs (see Side of Radio diagram on page 5). To turn the
flashlight on move the light switch to the “LIGHT” position. The special LED
bulbs last more than 10,000 hours and use very little electrical energy.
HEADPHONE JACK
You can use a stereo or mono headphone with a 3.5 mm plug. When you
insert the headphone plug, the speaker is disconnected.
PHONE CHARGER JACK
In an emergency, you may need to power your cell
phone to make an important call. Cranking the radio
for just 90 seconds should give you enough time to
make a few quick calls. This, of course, will depend on the make and
model of your cell phone. Attach the included Radio-to-USB Adapter to
your cell phone’s USB charging cable (not included), then plug it into the
jack on the radio labeled PHONE CHARGER. If you do not have a USB
charging cable for your cell phone, you can usually purchase one from
your cell phone provider.
Your phone will start charging as soon as you plug it in to your radio. If the
Observer is fully charged, it will charge your cell phone battery for about
20-40 minutes. If the Observer’s batteries are low or dead, a message may
appear on your phone and may say the charger is incompatible.
