Setting the Time and Date
When you first plug in or charge the Survival Skybox, the front
display will show “12:00” for the time. Setting the time and date is
easy...here’s how.
To set the time and date:
1. Make sure the radio is off. Press the button to turn it off if it
isn’t already.
2. Press and hold the SET button on the front panel until the hour
digits (“12”) start flashing. This means you can set the hour. Use
the and buttons on the front panel to set the current hour.
3. Once you’ve set the correct hour, press the SET button again.
The minutes digits (“00”) start flashing, which means you can
set the minutes. Use the and buttons on the front panel to
set the current minutes.
4. Once you’ve set the correct minutes, press the SET button
again. The year (“2012”) starts flashing, which means you can
set the current year. Use the and buttons on the front
panel to set the current year.
5. Once you’ve set the correct year, press the SET button again.
The Month digits (“12”) start flashing, which means you can set
the current month. Use the and buttons on the front panel
to set the current month.
6. Once you’ve set the correct month, press the SET button again.
The Date digits (“01”) start flashing, which means you can set
the date. Use the and buttons on the front panel to set the
current date.
7. Once you’ve set the correct date, press the SET button again.
Now you can change whether the clock shows the time in
12-hour (for example, 3:30 PM) or 24-hour (for example, 15:30)
format. The default is the 12-hour format. Press the buttons
to change to the 24-hour format, or press SET to keep the 12-
hour format.
That’s it! The time and date are set. If you need to make a change
to any of these settings, just press and hold the SET button when
the radio is off and press SET until you see the setting you want to
change.
Lighting function
Press the
(light) button on the top panel of the Survival
Skybox to turn on the flashlight. When the Survival Skybox is fully
charged, the light can work up to 5
hours consecutively. For every
minute of hand-cranking at 120 RPM, the flashlight can work up
to 3 minutes consecutively. Press the
(light) button twice to
turn on the red flash light for emergency. Press the
(light)
button again to turn off the light.
Mobile Phone Charging
1. Press the
button to turn on mobile phone charging mode.
Lift the rubber cover of the PHONE CHARGER jack on the
Survival Skybox’s back panel.
2. Plug one end of your charging cable into the PHONE CHARGER
port behind the door on the Survival skybox’s back panel. Plug
the other end of your charging cable into the USB charging port
on your mobile phone.
IMPORTANT: The Survival Skybox may not charge all models of
all brands of mobile phones. Phone adapters are not included
(you’ll have to use the cable that came with your mobile phone).
3. After the connection, hand-crank the Survival Skybox to
enable mobile phone charging. (If the battery is full, the Survival
Skybox could directly charge the mobile phone without hand-
cranking motion.)
4. After charging press the
button to turn off mobile phone
charging mode and disconnect USB cable. Cover the back panel
connections with rubber cover.
