American Red Cross FR1000 OWNER’S MANUAL
Your FR1000 Series is equipped for using a rechargeable NiMH
battery pack which can be recharged using an AC wall adapter
(included). Initial charge time is 24 hours with a charge time of
12 hours thereafter. For maximum battery life, we recommend
charging the battery pack when the low battery icon comes
on. Remove the charger from the radio when the charge time
expires. For the location of the CHARGING JACK see page 24.
In order to ensure that the battery pack is fully charged, it is rec-
ommended that the battery pack be charged for at least 12 hours
with the radio turned OFF.
You can also charge the rechargeable NiMH battery pack using
the Dynamo Crank. To charge using the Dynamo Crank rotate
rapidly the Dynamo Crank handle clockwise or counter-clockwise.
To get the best charging condition, it is recommended to charge
the battery pack through the Dynamo Crank with the radio
turned OFF.
1. Only use our NiMH battery pack.
2. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any batteries or
battery packs other than the one indicated in the manual. This
may cause leakage and damage to the radio.
3. For long term storage of the radio, turn the radio OFF and
remove the batteries from the radio.
