A radio that keeps working when the cell network, Wi-Fi and power do not.
In an emergency it is important to stay updated on what is happening. Phone and internet service can go down, and then you need to rely on radio. Local AM and FM stations carry information from authorities and emergency broadcasts – all you need is a receiver with its own power.
This emergency radio has three ways to refill its battery, so it stays charged even if the outage drags on. A radio with a hand crank and solar panel is the part of your emergency kit that never runs out – unlike a box of loose batteries.
An emergency radio you can charge three ways
If the grid goes down, the radio keeps working. Choose the method that suits the situation.
Hand crank
Works regardless of weather, time of day or the grid. A few minutes of cranking gives you radio time.
Solar panel
Place the radio in a window or on your backpack and it tops up passively in daylight.
USB-C
Charge it fully at home before anything happens. A charging cable is included.
Everything you need in one unit
AM & FM
FM 87–108 MHz and AM 520–1620 kHz for local stations and emergency broadcasts.
4,000 mAh power bank
Charge via the USB-A port – roughly one full charge of a modern phone, or several emergency top-ups for calls and texts.
Flashlight + reading light
A focused LED flashlight to find your way, and a soft reading light for a room or tent.
SOS alarm
Loud alarm signal and flashing red light that help you get found if you need help.
Built for the field
Rugged housing in a compact size that fits your emergency kit, backpack or car.

Large controls and a clear dial – usable in the dark and with gloves on.
How to use it during a power outage

Save the battery
Listen at the top and bottom of the hour when the news is on instead of keeping the radio on all the time.
Crank while you sit
A few minutes of cranking in the evening keeps the radio going until the next day's broadcasts.
Charge your phone last
Put the phone in airplane mode and only charge it when you actually need to call.

Which model should I choose?
Frequently asked questions
Can I hear emergency broadcasts on it?
Yes. Local and national AM and FM stations carry emergency information.
Which bands does it receive?
It receives FM (87–108 MHz) and AM (520–1620 kHz).
Can I charge a modern phone?
Yes, via the USB-A port. The 4,000 mAh is roughly enough for one full phone charge. The hand crank gives an emergency charge for a call or a text.
How often should I charge it?
Top it up via USB-C about every three months. Set a reminder on your phone so it is always ready.
Can the solar panel charge it in winter?
The solar panel is for topping up and gives little power in dark months or overcast weather. Charge it fully via USB before you store it, and use the hand crank when the power is out.
Does it run on regular batteries?
No, it has a built-in rechargeable battery. You never need to keep loose batteries in stock – the hand crank and solar panel are your backup sources.
