Features
Weather/AM/FM Radio with Resistant Tuning

be tuned before it's put away for emergency use and will stay in
that position until it's changed by the user. Tuning control for the
weatherband is located in the battery compartment.
Built-in Power Generator
with 1 minute of cranking at the optimum
rate indicated by the green LED charging indicator, the user is
provided with up to 60 minutes of AM radio, 40 minutes of FM
radio or 15 minutes of lights.

Power Source Choice
the unit can be operated using the Power
Generator or 2 "C" batteries (not supplied).
Two Light Settings
allow you to choose between using a flashlight
or a softlight which adds to the functionality of the radio. In the
flashlight setting, the LED provides a bright light that can be used
to illuminate an object or help guide the user when walking. The
softlight is a low level light that adds illumination or comfort light
when a group is gathered around it.
Charging Indicator
when the Power Generator handle is turned at
the optimum roating speed (in either direction), the green LED
Charging Indicator will illuminate. Continuing to turn the handle at
this same rate for approximately one minute (120 rotations) will
provide a full charge.
Bright Yellow Color
makes it easy to locate.
Water Resistant Design
Unit is designed to be splash resistant for
all weather operation. It cannot, however, be immersed in water.
