Hand crank power.
4.1 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 DC power input cable (Figure 3, C) to the USB mini jack (C.2), and the other end to the
USB power source (C.1). The red battery charge indicator light will illuminate when charging.
Continue to charge the ADVENTURER for several hours or until the charging light turns from red to
green. 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.
4.2 Solar Power
Place the ADVENTURER in direct (or indirect) sunlight with the solar panel facing upwards. The
green battery charging light may illuminate when charging, as shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: There is not enough solar energy to turn on the red charging light. Thus, no light or a faint
green light (which consumes less energy) may be present during solar charging.
NOTE: If the display heats up outside the operational range, the display will fade. For solar charging,
partial sunlight or shade is sufficient.
4.3 Hand Crank Power
To operate the hand crank, perform the following:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Disconnect the smart phone or PDA first from the USB charging port first
before cranking (the crank charges the internal battery and by design, the smart device must be
disconnected first to prevent the phone from power cycling and reduce the load on the crank).
