Cell Phone and mp3/mp4 Operation
Because cell phone batteries vary in their current ratings, we cannot specify charging rates or usage
time. 10 to 15 minutes of cranking may result in 1 or more minute of talk-time, but your results may
vary.
Note:
Charging a mobile 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 WR-088. Therefore, a fully charged WR-088 will only
partially charge a cell phone or mp3/mp4 device. After the battery stops charging the device, you must
begin cranking.
To charge the cell phone or music player device:
1.
Set POWER/VOLUME control to OFF position.
2.
Plug the cell phone charging cable into the USB Phone Charge connector, as shown in Figure

3.
Plug other end of your USB cable into the cell phone’s charging connector.
4.
Turn the crank once to wake up the battery. If the phone does not begin charging, begin
cranking. When charging a cell phone via the USB cell phone charger, it is important to turn
the crank at least two revolutions per second, or until you see red charging LED turn on. This
is an indication that the phone is receiving enough power from the radio. Continue to crank at
