The Mesqool Emergency Radio offers five flexible ways to ensure you always have power:

Figure 4: Visual representation of the five power options for the radio.

1. 12000mAh Built-in Li-ion Battery: The primary power source. Ensure it is fully charged before extended use.
2. Type-C Input (5V/2A): Connect the provided Type-C cable to a compatible USB adapter (not included) for the most efficient charging. The charging indicator lights will show progress.
3. Eskuko biradera: Rotate the hand crank clockwise or counter-clockwise at a steady pace (approx. 130-150 RPM) for 3-5 minutes to generate enough power for short-term use or to initiate charging.
4. Eguzki-panela: Place the radio in direct sunlight. The solar panel provides trickle charging to maintain the battery level or extend playtime. It is not intended for full charging from a depleted state.
5. 3 AAA Batteries (Not Included): Open the battery compartment on the bottom and insert 3 AAA batteries. This serves as a backup power source when the internal Li-ion battery is low or depleted.

The battery indicator on the LCD screen will show the current charge level. A flashing indicator typically means the battery is low and requires charging.
