How long does the solar panel take to charge the batteries?

Solar charging is intended to supplement and extend battery life; it is not a replacement for full mains charging and speed depends on sunlight intensity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure the provided NiMH rechargeable batteries are inserted into the compartment on the rear of the unit. For the initial setup, perform a full 'Auto-Tune' to capture all available DAB+ stations in your area. Compatibility is broad, as the Bluetooth feature supports standard profiles found on almost all modern smartphones, tablets, and laptops. To care for your radio, keep the solar panel free of dust or debris using a dry, soft cloth, as accumulated dirt can reduce light absorption. Avoid exposing the unit to moisture or extreme temperatures, and ensure the batteries are fully cycled periodically to maintain their longevity.
