P
ut the unit in direct sunlight (not through a window or in the shade), and
making sure the solar panel of the unit is facing towards the sun. If the
sunlight is strong enough, the yellow solar charging Indicator on the back
will light indicating the unit is charging. The longer you leave the unit in
direct sunlight, the more power you are generating to charge the battery,
and the Radio listening time will be extended (Radio reception only).
Note:
If the battery is completely drained (LCD clock display and LED light
do not work), it may require a very long exposure to direct sunlight in
order to charge the battery using the solar panel. You should use one
of the other power modes available if you need to use the radio
immediately.
