Quick Overview
Born Ready. Crank. Solar. Light. Radio. Siren. Charger. Emergencies? Ha!
Product Description
Slightly larger than other models and packed with features, the FR500 is housed in a compact, fiercely protective waterproof, shatterproof casing. This emergency radio is portable and remarkably versatile. The FR500 functions as an AM/FM, shortwave, and NOAA weather radio. It can be powered by the sun, by crank, by batteries or by an AC adapter. Use the FR500 as a flashlight or an emergency beacon, or to charge a cellphone or an mp3 player. It's a bird, it's a plane! It can even be a 12 hour alarm clock to wake you up in the morning... with a snooze function! (Coffee brewing capacity not perfected at this time).
