The Axis has a low voltage protection circuit to avoid the battery
from dropping too low in voltage from cell phone charging. If the
battery symbol on the LCD display shows three bars, it can support
cell phone charging. When the battery symbol is blinking, it stops
charging your cell phone and you are urged to re-charge the battery
until the blinking stops so that cell phone charging can resume.
To charge your cell phone:
1.
Press DYN. Make sure that the battery symbol has three
bars. If it doesn't or if it's blinking it must be charged by
cranking or with an AC adapter until it stops blinking.
2.
Plug the USB cell phone charging cord into the PHONE
CHARGER socket (under the rubber cover on the back
of the radio).
3.
Plug the other end of the cord into the cell phone.
4.
Press the button labeled CELL and 'CELL' will appear in the
lower right corner of the LCD display. The cell phone should
start charging and show charging on its display.
After about 20 minutes of charging, the cell phone should have
a talk time of 20 to 25 minutes.
If you don't have time to charge the radio's rechargeable battery
you can still charge your cell phone by pressing DYN and turning
the crank for 7 minutes. With your cell phone plugged in, press
CELL and charge the cell phone for about 5 minutes, after which
you can talk for about 6 minutes.
