two minutes to activate the internal battery for initial use, or when the unit has not been used
for more than 60 days. The red battery charging light illuminates when charging, as shown in
Figure 1. After two minutes of cranking at two revolutions per minute, wait two minutes to
begin cranking again. This will extend the crank life.

continuous light for the LED flashlight, or 16-20 minutes of continuous radio usage (subject
to volume) or approximately 3-5 minutes of talk time on the cell phone (your results may vary
due to phone variation).
