Ambient Weather ADVENTURER WR-112 Panduan Pengguna
The solar collector will not completely charge your unit and is intended to extend the existing battery
charge.

5.2 DC and AC Power

Prior to using the ADVENTURER, we recommend you fully charge the rechargeable battery through
the USB Power Input (Figure 2).
Lift the rubber tab on the back of the ADVENTURER to expose the connectors, as shown in Figure 2.
Connect the Power In Cable (Figure 3, Cable 2) from the Power Input jack on the radio and the USB
Power source on your computer or optional AC or DC converter. The red battery charge indicator
light will illuminate when charging. Continue to charge the ADVENTURER for several hours or until
the charging light stops flashing. The ADVENTURER is now ready for use.
Important Note: Use 5.0V USB power source (from a computer or appropriate AC or DC adaptor).
Over-voltage may result in damaging the ADVENTURER.

5.3 Solar Power

Place the ADVENTURER in direct (or indirect) sunlight with the solar panel facing upwards. The
LED charging light will flash when there is sufficient solar energy to charge.
NOTE: If the display heats up outside the operational range, the display will fade.
NOTE: The solar collector will not completely charge the ADVENTURER and is intended to extend
the existing battery charge. The solar collector efficiency is significantly impacted by direct vs.
indirect sunlight, angle of the solar collector, angle of the sun and weather conditions, including your
latitude, time of year (winter vs. summer), time of day, and cloud cover.

5.4 Hand Crank Power

To operate the hand crank, perform the following:
1. Turn the hand crank either clockwise or counterclockwise at about two cranks per second for
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 second, wait two minutes to
begin cranking again. This will extend the crank life.
2. For subsequent charges, turn the hand crank for one minute to produce 70 minutes of
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 smart phone (your results may
vary due to phone variation).

5.5 Power Consumption

The ADVENTURER includes a large battery capacity (800 mAh) but different operational modes
result in significantly varying power consumption requirements. Here is a general guide on power
consumption, typical user operation and recommend power sources.
