Power System
This unit has a unique power system. Its primary power source is the standard “C” dry cell battery.
This unit also comes with a built-in Ni-MH Rechargeable Backup Battery, that serves as “auxiliary” power for the
AM/FM Weather Alert Radio and LED Emergency Light should no other power source be available. This auxiliary
power system may be recharged using the Fold-Away Hand Crank.
Note:
Backup battery power will only operate the Radio and LED Emergency Light. IT CANNOT POWER THE LANTERN.
POWERING THE UNIT
The unit can be powered in one of two ways:
1. With nine (9) standard dry cell “C” batteries (not included).
2. Using the internal backup Ni-MH battery.
The backup battery allows the Radio and Emergency Light to operate when the “C” batteries are expended and
replacements are not available.
The rechargeable backup battery is not user-accessible.

• Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that unit be kept upright during storage,
use and recharging. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, protect it from direct
sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture.
• Check unit periodically for wear and tear. Take to a qualified technician for replacement of worn or defective
parts immediately.
WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.
• Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and –), marked on the battery and the equipment.
• Do not short battery terminals.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand
and type.
• Immediately remove batteries that will not hold a charge and dispose of per local codes.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
“Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in
suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting
individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could
contact them and cause a short circuit.”
