You never know which comes first, accidents or tomorrow; cherish what you have and live with it; meanwhile you’d better be prepared for all kinds of accidents.
Just like the weather is not always perfect, when a hurricane/flood/thunderstorm/tornado/forest fire comes, you will instantly face power outages/water cuts/lack of energy/no signal/lack of information and you will not know what to do.
Therefore, it is a wise choice to prepare some tools and materials in advance, such as fosPower emergency crank radio.
The radio comes integrated with a 1W LED flashlight with zoom, an SOS alarm, 2000mAh power bank, 2 LED lights, radio broadcasts access, and 3 power options to provide emergency power.
It has 3 power source:
- 3 AAA battery
- solar panel
- hand crank lever
The solar panel an crank lever are both capable of regenerating power to keep the radio, lights and SOS alarm ready to go.
It has 2 lighting mode, 4 LED for reading and 1W flahlight mode allows you to see the environment and road clearly in the dark.
It will dependably receive up to the second emergency weather forecasts and emergency news broadcasts from NOAA and AM/FM stations.
Its 2000 mAh battery can charge your phone in the event of a power failure.
Regardless of whether you use it or not, you need to prepare one for emergencies.
Q&A:
Question: How many noaa channels does it monitor?
Answer: This product will monitor all available NOAA frequencies, however your geographical location and distance from broadcasting towers will affect which frequencies are available to you directly.
Question: Does it have to be turned on to get weather alerts?
Answer: Yes. The volume button also is the power button. As the button is turned clockwise, there is an audible click that turns the power on. Continue to turn clockwise to increase volume. The selector button must be on WB (weather band). Turning the volume button counterclockwise lowers the volume and powers the radio off the same way with an audible click.
Question: Approximately how long will it take to achieve a full charge when placed in direct sunlight on a clear day?
Answer: It would take 3-5 days to charge via solar power. This unit is best charges by manual crank or USB outlet power. The solar panel on this unit is meant mainly to slow down discharge while not in use.
Question: How long does it take to fully charge the battery by cranking the handle?
Answer: Continuously turn the Hand Crank at speed of 130-150 RMP/min to generate power. Unit will be fully charged in 4 hours. It is best to check the power before use and fully charge it with a DC power supply. Hand cranks and solar panels can only be used to temporarily restore some power and delay power consumption.
