Ambient Weather ADVENTURER WR-112 Manuale d'uso

Problem

The ADVENTURER will not fully charge

my smart phone.

I never receive weather alerts.

How can I receive warnings only and not

watches or statements?

The ADVENTURER is locked up and

will not respond to commands. How do I

reset it?

The red charging light does not illuminate

during solar charging.

The display fades when placed in direct

sunlight.

The ADVENTURER exits the alert mode

and displays time.

The radio does not fully charge with the

solar collector.

Version 1.0

Charging a smart phone through the Phone Charger Jack

is intended for emergency purpose only. It is not intended

for recharging fully a discharged battery. Smart phone

battery capacity significantly exceeds the battery

capacity of the ADVENTURER.

Therefore, a fully charged ADVENTURER will only

partially charge a smart phone or PDA device. After the

battery stops charging the device, disconnect the device

and begin cranking if a DC power source is not available.

Verify you receive the test alert from the National

Weather Service on Wednesday as described in the

weather alert section of this manual.

Verify you have tuned the weather band to your local

area and you have reception before activating the

Weather Alert feature.

Make sure you have good weather radio reception. If

your radio reception is poor, you will not receive any

alerts.

Selective filtering of statements, watches and warnings is

not possible. You will always receive all three levels.

Remove the battery. Press the reset button inside the

battery compartment with a paperclip. Reinstall the

battery.

There is not enough solar energy to drive the red

charging light.

If the display heats up outside the operational range, the

display will fade. For solar charging, partial sunlight or

shade is sufficient.

The weather alert mode consumes a significant amount

of power because it is constantly scanning for the

emergency 1050 Hz tone from the National Weather

Service. We recommend connecting power input to a

USB computer port or the optional USB to AC converter

for continuous alert operation (reference Section 11).

Otherwise, you must rely on hand crank power in this

mode.

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.
