The Survival Skybox’s mobile phone charging feature is intended to
provide an emergency battery charge of your mobile phone battery
so you could make an emergency phone call. Percentage will vary
due to your mobile phone and Survival Skybox’s internal battery
charge. If the Survival Skybox’s internal battery runs out of charge,
disconnect your mobile phone USB cable form the Survival Skybox
and use the hand crank to give the internal battery enough charge
to then return to phone charging again.
NOTES: Phone talking time will differ from phone to phone.
NOTE! Charging of mobile phone battery will be limited due to size
of internal Survival Skybox’s battery. It is intended for emergencies
to provide enough charge to make an emergency call or send
emergency text. You may use Dynamo to continue charging after
internal battery has been depleted to continue to charge 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 the device).
Setting Up Bluetooth Wireless
Pairing
The Bluetooth-enabled device that you wish to stream audio to
your Survival Skybox must first be paired to the Survival Skybox.
The process is simple, and in most cases the pairing process needs
to be done only once.
To pair your Bluetooth-enabled device with the Survival Skybox:
1. Make sure your mobile phone’s Bluetooth is turned on. See the
wireless and/or network settings menu on your phone to check.
2. If the Survival Skybox isn’t already on, press the
button to
turn it on and then press the button. “BLUE” will be shown on
the display and the backlit of the Tuning knob and Volume knob
will be flashing rapidly.
3. Open the Bluetooth settings menu on your device. Select
“Weather Radio” from the list of devices available (you might
have to scan for devices). If your device asks for a password,
enter “0000”.
4. A confirmation screen will appear on your phone once the
Survival Skybox and your phone are successfully paired. The
backlight stays lit to indicate successful connection. The
Survival Skybox is now ready for you to stream audio from your
phone.

The Survival Skybox lets you listen to local weather band, as well as
your local AM and FM radio stations.

will switch on automatically and broadcast the Weather Band

playing something on the phone. Control the Survival Skybox
volume on the Survival Skybox itself, using the Volume knob.
NOTE: If you notice the sound from the Survival Skybox is
distorted, turn down your phone’s volume.
Reconnecting
When you turn it on, the Survival Skybox reconnects automatically
with the last paired device. When you leave the Bluetooth operating
range with the Survival Skybox turned ON, it disconnects. When
you come back into the Bluetooth operating range, your device will
be re-connected.
Streaming Audio With Bluetooth
Once you’ve paired and connected your device with the Survival
Skybox, you can control music playback from the palm of your
hand. Select your music, stop it, change songs and playlists, all right
from your device’s screen.
To adjust volume:
Turn the Survival Skybox’s Volume knob.
To disconnect from the Multi-Function Jobsite Radio:
Either turn
Bluetooth off on your device or choose “Disconnect” from the list of
options in your device’s Bluetooth settings.
To reconnect with the Survival Skybox:
Just turn the Survival
Skybox on and wait a few seconds for the Survival Skybox to find
and connect to your device. If the Survival Skybox still hasn’t found
your device (which may happen if, for instance, another device has
been connected after yours) make sure the Survival Skybox isn’t
connected to another device currently. Then select the “Weather
Radio” from the list of Bluetooth connections available in your
device’s Bluetooth menu to connect to it.
