It tunes AM, FM and the NOAA weather band, charges your phone from its 4000mAh battery, and lights the room with a side flashlight and a reading lamp that folds up from the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo dead batteries at the back of a drawer. No guessing at the weather. Wind the crank, tip the solar panel toward the sun, plug in a USB-C cable or drop in three AAA batteries, and any one of the four keeps it going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour ways to keep it running when the grid is down\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost emergency radios let you down in the same way: the batteries went flat years ago, and nobody finds out until the night the radio is needed. This one has a 4000mAh rechargeable battery built in and four separate ways to fill it. At home it tops up from a USB-C cable, just like a phone, and on a sunny windowsill the solar panel on top gathers charge while it sits there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen there is no sun and no outlet, the crank folds out from the back and you put the power back in by hand. The battery door on the back also takes three AAA batteries, the kind most households keep in a drawer. They are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe weather band is the one that matters in a storm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFM and AM bring in the local news and talk stations, which is where the updates come from once the internet and the cell towers go quiet. The weather band goes further. It tunes the seven NOAA weather channels, the round-the-clock broadcasts that carry the forecast and the warnings for your area, and the alert key sits right under the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePull the chrome antenna out to its full length for the clearest reception. The backlit display shows the band, the frequency and how much charge is left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight to see by, a charge for your phone and a way to call for help\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the lights go out in the evening, the flashlight in the left end throws a beam for finding the breaker panel or the candles. Lift the solar panel on its hinge and a strip of LED light underneath shines down onto the table like a small desk lamp, enough to eat or read by until the power comes back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe USB port on the end charges your phone from the same battery, so a phone at ten percent at the start of a storm does not mean losing touch with family. If you are ever hurt or stranded, the orange SOS key sounds a siren and lights up so people can find you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall enough for the go-bag, the glove box or the tent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 6.1 by 3 inches and under 2 inches deep, it slips into an emergency kit, a car or the shelf by the back door without taking over. The orange case is easy to spot at the bottom of a bag or on a dark campsite. It shrugs off splashes and light rain at IPX3, though it is not waterproof, so keep it out of puddles. On a camping trip it does the same jobs it does at home: the forecast over coffee, music at the picnic table and a lamp in the tent. When the weather turns, you already have a radio that does not need the grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eType: Hand crank emergency radio with solar panel, flashlight, reading lamp and phone charging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRadio bands: AM, FM and NOAA weather band (WB)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFM range: 87 to 108 MHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAM range: 520 to 1620 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeather band: 7 NOAA weather channels, with an alert key\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisplay: Backlit LCD showing band, frequency and battery level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBattery: 4000mAh rechargeable, built in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower sources: Hand crank, solar panel, USB-C, or 3 x AAA batteries (not included)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharging input: USB-C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhone charging: USB-A output from the built-in battery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlashlight: LED, in the left end\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReading lamp: LED strip under the flip-up solar panel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOS alarm: Siren and light\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntenna: Telescopic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater resistance: IPX3, splashes and light rain only, not waterproof\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: ABS plastic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor: Orange and black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 6.1 x 1.8 x 3 in (15.5 x 4.5 x 7.5 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertification: CE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse: Home emergency kits, power outages, storms, camping, hiking, fishing and the car\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Emergency Crank Radio\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ridgewell Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68179972194600,"sku":null,"price":151.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9430\/5064\/files\/0807-01.png?v=1794618655","url":"https:\/\/ridgewellliving.com\/en-au\/products\/emergency-crank-radio-with-solar-panel-noaa-weather-and-phone-charging","provider":"Ridgewell Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
