POWER SOURCES 
Dynamo Power Generation 
A rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal-hydride) battery pack is installed and 
fully charged at the factory. This battery pack is re-charged by turning the 
crank dynamo. The crank can be turned either clockwise or counter 
clockwise to generate power.  
 
NOTE: Radio operation time depends on the number of turns and time per 
turn. On the average, 60-90 seconds of vigorous cranking results in about 
40-60 minutes of radio play at low volume, without light use. Using the crank 
dynamo while the radio is playing does not charge as efficiently. If the light is 
on while playing the radio, the radio playtime will be dramatically reduced. 
The light will always result in the Ni-MH battery discharging at a faster rate. 
 
Battery Operation – The CR-100 operates on 3 AA alkaline batteries. To 
install, please refer to instructions on page 6. 
 
AC Adaptor - Plugging an AC adaptor into the DC 4.5 V socket on the back 
of the radio will provide power for operation and will charge the Ni-MH battery 
pack. Use only an AC Adaptor, that meets the following specifications: 
•  Output of 4.5 volt DC; negative polarity;  
•  Minimum of 80-100 mA current capability;  
•  A plug tip with an outer diameter of 4.0 mm, inner diameter of 1.7 
mm. 
An AC Adaptor, as noted above, will charge the Ni-MH (nickel-metal-hydride) 
battery pack in the radio in approximately 8 hours, after which the adaptor 
can be left plugged in if desired and the battery will not overcharge. 
 
NOTE: if an AC adaptor is in use, the AA batteries are switched off 
automatically. The AC adapter is not included with the CR-100. 
 
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use an AC adapter rated higher that 80-100 
milliamps. 
If using an AC adaptor to continuously power the radio, unplug 
the internal rechargeable battery. To play the radio, set the POWER 
SELECTOR switch to the REFRESH position. The Ni-MH battery pack will 
charge with the POWER SELECTOR switch set in any of its positions.
