IMPORTANT NOTE: The following was omitted from the user manual: Disconnect the smart phone or PDA first from the USB charging port first before cranking (the crank charges the internal battery and by design, the smart device must be disconnected first to prevent the phone from power cycling and reduce the load on the crank).
