Use this function in an emergency to alert people near your location. To activate, long press the SOS button on the bottom of the radio. The radio will play a loud siren and flash a red and blue signal light.
Attention: The siren is very loud. Prolonged close range exposure can cause hearing damage. Try to set up the radio some distance away, when using the emergency function. Use of the emergency function drains the battery at an excessive rate.

To turn on the torch, press the button on top of the radio. If you press the button a second time, the light flashes.
If the lantern is extended, the button does not activate the torch, but the lantern light instead. This can be set to 3 different levels.
Torch and Lantern function
It's recommended to always keep the Lantern powerbank in a dry environment and with temperatures between 0° to +40°C. Never expose it to any liquids or high temperatures or even fire. This can cause the battery inside to expand or even explode or catch fire.
If the battery seems expanded or damaged, immediately bring it to a safe waste station for electronic waste.
To keep the battery intact, you need to recharge it at least every 6 months. Otherwise it can decrease its capacity and in worst case it can stop working. This stage of non-function will not be covered by the warranty.
