Getting Started – Powering Your Radio  
Before powering your radio, be sure to read the Safety Instructions  
on page 10.  
The CC Observer can be powered in three different ways:  
Power by Winding — Unfold the handle from the side of the radio and  
rotate in either direction. The green “DYNAMO” light on the front of the  
radio will glow indicating proper winding speed. After 90 seconds of wind-  
ing, the radio will play for about 45 minutes.  
Power using AA Batteries — When using AA alkaline batteries, the radio  
should play at normal volume for about 140 hours. When using nickel  
metal hydrate rechargeable AA batteries, about 100 hours of play can be  
expected. This radio will not charge user-installed batteries.  
Inserting Batteries:  
1. Position the radio face down on a soft surface to protect it.  
2. Remove the battery compartment cover.  
3. Insert the 3 “AA” cell batteries into the compartment, as indicated in the  
picture below. Be sure the negative (-) end is against the spring. Refer  
to the picture below to insure correct installation of your batteries.  
4. Replace the battery cover. On the front of the radio, slide the “Power  
Switch” to “Battery”.You are now ready to operate your radio on  
batteries.  
Install 3 “AA”  
batteries as  
shown here.

Getting Started – Powering Your Radio  
Power by Charging Adapter (optional accessory not included) —  
Connect the charging adapter between a 120Volts/60Hz wall outlet and the  
“BATTERY PACK CHARGING JACK” on the side of radio (see location of  
jack on page 5). To fully charge the battery pack, keep the charging  
adapter plugged in overnight. When the battery pack is fully charged, the  
radio should play for over 30 hours.  
Note: The charging adapter should only be used to charge the battery  
pack and should not be used to power the radio on a regular basis.  
Leaving the charging adapter plugged into the radio for long periods of  
time will shorten the life of the internal battery pack.

Radio Operation  
TUNING  
The CC Observer features three bands: AM, FM and WEATHER.  
1. Position the power switch to BATTERY or DYNAMO.  
2. Select band by positioning the “BAND SWITCH”.  
3. Adjust TUNING dial to desired frequency. For tuning weather, position  
the WEATHER dial to the desired channel.  
2. Adjust volume by rotating the “VOLUME CONTROL”.  
DISPLAY LIGHT  
To turn the display light on, move the light switch to the “DISPLAY” position  
(see Top of Radio diagram on page 5). The display light will remain on  
unless you turn it off.  
FLASHLIGHT  
Located on the left side of the CC Observer is a flashlight consisting of  
three bright LEDs (see Side of Radio diagram on page 5). To turn the  
flashlight on move the light switch to the “LIGHT” position. The special LED  
bulbs last more than 10,000 hours and use very little electrical energy.  
HEADPHONE JACK  
You can use a stereo or mono headphone with a 3.5 mm plug. When you  
insert the headphone plug, the speaker is disconnected.  
PHONE CHARGER JACK  
In an emergency, you may need to power your cell phone to make an  
important call. Five of the most common types of cell phone adapters are  
included. Attach the proper adapter between the PHONE CHARGER JACK  
and your cell phone. Cranking the radio for just 90 seconds should give  
you enough time to make a few quick calls. This, of course, will depend on  
the make and model of your cell phone.

Safety Instructions  
READ BEFORE  
OPERATING EQUIPMENT  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
ƽ
To prevent damage to your radio or possible injury to you or others, read these  
safety precautions and instructions entirely before applying power to your radio.  
Keep these precautions and instructions where all who use this radio will read  
them.  
1) COMMON CARE ƽ  
Check the radio and any accessories regularly. Do not use the radio if there is  
any sign of damage. Only operate in accordance with the instructions in this  
manual. Only use attachments or accessories specified by the manufacturer.  
2) DISCONNECT THE RADIO IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION ƽ  
If you smell or notice smoke, disconnect the optional AC Adapter immediately,  
taking care to avoid burns. Contact C. Crane Company or their representative  
for inspection and service before any future operation. Only use the AC-DC  
Adapter recommended with the unit and replace it if wires become frayed or  
exposed. It should have an output of 5 Volts DC. Use only the recommended  
adapter. Otherwise it may damage the radio or cause a fire or electric shock.  
3) KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN ƽ  
Dropping the radio can cause damage or injury. Keep the AC Adapter cord in  
a position so someone cannot trip and cause the radio to fall.  
4) KEEP AWAY FROM WATER AND MOISTURE ƽ  
Keep the radio dry. Liquids and moisture can damage the radio. If a liquid  
leaks into the radio do not operate and seek a qualified service shop. To  
clean the radio, remove the power and use a damp cloth on the exterior only.  
5) KEEP AWAY FROM EXTREME TEMPERATURES ƽ  
Extreme temperatures can damage the radio. Do not leave or use the radio  
where it can be subjected to high or very cold temperatures.  
6) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE RADIO ƽ  
Refer all service work to a qualified service shop when the radio does not  
appear to operate normally, exhibits a change in performance or the radio has  
received damage. Never open the radio as this may expose you to dangerous  
voltages and this will void all warranties.  
7) OUTSIDE ANTENNAS OR CABLES ƽ  
Outside antennas or cables that create a potential hazard should not be used  
with this radio unless installed by qualified personnel.
