Hand-Crank Solar Emergency Radio with 2000mAh Power Bank

Delivery is charged per product because each item ships directly from its supplier, so items can arrive separately. Estimated delivery 7-15 working days. Tracked.

An emergency radio with AM, FM and shortwave, powered by a hand crank, a small solar panel or USB. It has a flashlight, an SOS alarm and a 2000mAh battery that can give a phone a small top-up through a USB port.

The weather band on this type of radio is the US NOAA system and will not work in the UK, so rely on FM and AM for news and local radio. It has no DAB. Cranking gives only a modest run time, so charge it by USB while mains is available.

Key features

  • AM, FM and shortwave
  • Hand crank, solar and USB charging
  • 2000mAh battery with USB phone output
  • LED flashlight
  • SOS alarm
  • Carry strap for a grab bag

How to use it

Charge the radio by USB, crank or sun, then extend the antenna and tune AM, FM or shortwave to hear news; it also tops up a phone.

  1. Charge the radio by USB cable while mains is available, or turn the crank steadily, or leave the solar panel in sunlight.
  2. Pull up the telescopic antenna if it has one.
  3. Switch the radio on and choose AM, FM or SW with the band switch.
  4. Turn the tuning dial slowly until the station comes in clearly, then adjust the volume.
  5. To top up a phone, plug its cable into the radio's USB output and check it is charging.
  6. Switch it off and recharge it before storing.
Tips
  • Use FM and AM for UK news, as the NOAA weather band does not work here and there is no DAB.
  • Cranking gives only a modest run time, so use USB for the main charge.
Safety and limits
  • Phone charging is only a small top-up, and it drains the radio's battery.
  • Keep it dry and away from heat, and stop using it if the battery swells or the case is damaged.
Please note
  • Lithium battery: ships by surface/regular courier only
  • NOAA weather alerts do not work in the UK; AM and FM only, no DAB
  • Not a replacement for official emergency alerts
