What type of USB port does it use for charging?
The radio uses a standard Micro-USB port for charging. The appropriate cable is usually included.
Is there a headphone jack?
This model does not typically include a headphone jack, as it is designed for portable, personal listening via its built-in speaker.

Does it come with a power adapter?

Troubleshooting
Radio does not turn on
Ensure the radio is fully charged. Connect it to a power source using the provided USB cable and allow sufficient charging time. Check that the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Poor reception on FM/AM bands
Extend the telescopic antenna fully for FM. Try rotating the radio to find a better position. Ensure you are not near sources of electronic interference.
No sound or low volume
Check that the volume knob is turned up. Ensure the correct band (AM/FM/SW) is selected. If still no sound, try recharging the battery.
SW band static or weak signal
Shortwave reception is highly dependent on atmospheric conditions and location. Try tuning at different times of the day, orienting the antenna, and being away from local interference sources.
Radio not charging
Verify that the USB cable is securely connected to both the radio and the power source. Try a different USB cable and power adapter to rule out faulty accessories.
