FAQs
How long does it take to charge a phone with the ER300 Pro?
Charging speed depends on your device's power requirements, but the unit is designed to provide rapid power delivery through its universal output.
Can I charge the radio and my phone at the same time?
It is recommended to prioritize charging the radio itself first to ensure you have enough power for all functions.
Is the flashlight always on in SOS mode?
No, the SOS torch has specific settings for brightness and emergency signaling, which can be toggled using the flashlight controls.
Does the hand-crank charge the battery quickly?
The hand-crank is intended for emergency top-ups rather than full battery charging; it provides enough power for essential radio use and short light bursts.
What is the primary way to charge the internal battery?
The most efficient method is using the USB-C port connected to an AC power source, while solar and crank methods are best for emergency backup.
Troubleshooting
Device is not charging via solar panel
Ensure the panel is in direct, unobstructed sunlight and that the indicator light shows active solar intake.
Phone is not charging when plugged in
Verify that the radio has sufficient battery capacity and ensure the USB-C cable is firmly seated in the output port.
Radio reception is poor
Extend the antenna fully and move to a location with fewer physical obstructions or away from electronic interference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your device, ensure it is fully charged via the included USB-C cable before your first outing. The LCD display provides clear indicators for battery levels, which should be checked periodically. When storing for long periods, keep the unit in a cool, dry place and perform a partial charge every few months to maintain the health of the Lithium-Ion battery. While the device is rugged, avoid submerging it in water or exposing the solar panel to harsh abrasives. Always ensure the USB port covers are closed securely to maintain dust resistance.
