AM/FM/TV/AIR/VHF (Weather) broadcast bands, plus 4 shortwave bands, you'll never run out 

of things to listen to!

sunlight  sources  are  unavailable,  you  can  crank-up  the  radio  to  charge  the  internal 

batteries.  

3.  Solar power: The built-in solar panel is powerful enough to run the radio in direct sunlight.* 

It charges the batteries even in weak light conditions. 

4.  Rechargeable pack: It provides reliable, renewable internal power for everyday use. The 

high  quality  Ni-MH  rechargeable  batteries  are  installed  inside  the  radio  that  can  be 

replaced by a professional technician only.

good sensitivity for AM reception. Also included with the radio is a portable wire antenna 

that can be used to further improve shortwave reception by plugging it into the earphone

3 x "AA" size batteries. (Batteries not included)  

*Important Notice Regarding Solar Operation: 

The built-in solar panel can be used to directly power the radio even if the internal batteries are 

dead! The solar panel must face direct sunlight to get enough energy to operate the radio's 

speaker. If you cannot position the radio in direct sunlight, try to use the earphones. Earphones 

require less energy to operate than the speaker does. When switching to solar power always 

start with the volume control at the minimum position. The higher you turn the volume the more 

light you will need.
