Using the Radio
For information about operating the radio, see page 7.
Power Draw
The AM/FM radio on the back panel is powered by the
internal battery in the XPower Powerpack.
When turned on, the radio draws 30 mA, allowing you to use
the radio for more than one month when the XPower
Powerpack is fully charged.
Listening to the AM Band
Due to signal interference, you cannot listen to the AM band
while using the XPower Powerpack to operate an AC
appliance.
Connecting to an External Battery
You can extend battery operating times by connecting the
XPower Powerpack to a larger external battery using the
jump-start cables.
For example, an external 60 Ah battery gives approximately
two times the operating time of the XPower Powerpack
internal 28 Ah battery.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Never allow jump-start cables’ red and black clamps to touch each
other or another common metal conductor. This could cause
damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
Always disconnect the jump-start cables from the unit after use and
clip the plastic guard over the jump-start cable port.
