The Eton FRX3 NOAA Weather Radio Alert can be charged using multiple power sources. Here are the step-by-step instructions for charging the radio:
1. Dynamo Power (Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries): The radio comes with a rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack. To use it, plug the battery into the socket adjacent to it, then press the Dynamo Power button. Turn the dynamo to recharge the internal Ni-MH battery. The rechargeable battery will eventually lose its ability to hold a charge over time.
2. Battery Power (3 AAA Batteries): Install 3 AAA batteries using the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment (on the back of the radio). To turn on the radio using AAA batteries, press the Battery Power button.
3. Solar Power: When in Dynamo Power mode and the solar panels are in direct sunlight (not through a window or in the shade), the Ni-MH rechargeable battery recharges automatically. The LCD power status bar will show the recharging icon.
4. USB Cable Power: To charge the Ni-MH battery via the USB port (DC-in), make sure the unit is on the Dynamo Power option. Plug the USB cable port into the computer, and plug the other port into the mini USB jack. The recharge icon appears.
It is important to note that the operating times and charging durations may vary depending on the power source and usage. For more detailed information, please refer to the Eton FRX3 NOAA Weather Radio Alert Owner's Manual.
