This self-powered radio offers AM, FM, and National Weather Service broadcasts. The radio covers seven National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association (NOAA) broadcast channels. The integrated solar panel will generate enough power to operate the radio and charge the battery simultaneously when exposed to strong sunlight. When you aren't using it, the radio will charge itself up if left in the sun.
In addition to being able to power itself with the solar panel, just 30 seconds of winding the hand crank on the back of the radio will provide about 35 minutes of power. The winder can be cranked in either directions, and an LED indicator show what the optimum winding speed is. It may also be charged using an AC adapter (included), reaching full charge over a 24 hour period.
A built-in 100,000 hour LED flashlight makes this ideal for everyday and emergency use. On a full charge, the radio or the flashlight will operate for about 25 hours.
