Problem Solution 

Where can I purchase the proper tip for 
my cell phone? 

and connector type. The connectors included cover about 
95% of the cell phone market.   

The ADVENTURER will not fully charge 
my cell phone. 

Charging a cell phone through the Phone Charger Jack is 
intended for emergency purpose only. It is not intended 
for recharging fully a discharged battery.    Cell phone 
battery capacity significantly exceeds the battery 
capacity of the ADVENTURER.   
 
Therefore, a fully charged ADVENTURER will only 
partially charge a cell phone or mp3/mp4 device. After 
the battery stops charging the device, disconnect the 
device and begin cranking if a DC power source is not 
available. 

I never receive weather alerts. 

Verify you receive the test alert from the National 
Weather Service on Wednesday as described in the 
weather alert section of this manual. 
Verify you have tuned the weather band to your local 
area and you have reception before activating the 
Weather Alert feature. 
Make sure you have good weather radio reception. If 
your radio reception is poor, you will not receive any 
alerts. 

How can I receive warnings only and not 
watches or statements? 

Selective filtering of statements, watches and warnings is 
not possible. You will always receive all three levels. 

The ADVENTURER is locked up and 
will not respond to commands. How do I 
reset it? 

Remove the battery. Press the reset button inside the 
battery compartment with a paperclip. Reinstall the 
battery. 

The red charging light does not illuminate 
during solar charging. 

There is not enough solar energy to drive the red 
charging light. For solar charging, you will see a faint 
green light. The brighter the sunlight, the brighter the 
green charging light. 

The display fades when placed in direct 
sunlight. 

If the display heats up outside the operational range, the 
display will fade. For solar charging, partial sunlight or 
shade is sufficient.
