Slide the band switch to AM, FM or WB and turn the tuning dial. An indicator lights up when a station is tuned in. The volume knob switches the radio on, and the pull-out antenna helps reception.
WB is the band NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts on across the United States. Outside the US, tune to AM and FM for local news and weather. The FAQ below has the details.
Charge the built-in battery with the included USB-C cable at home. Away from an outlet, turn the hand crank on the back or leave the solar panel in the sun.
The radio also runs on AAA batteries as a last backup (not included). A battery this size fills fastest by cable, so treat the crank and the sun as the backups they are.
The built-in 20,000 mAh lithium-ion battery runs the radio and the lights, and it charges other devices such as a phone or a GPS.
How many charges you get depends on your device, so we don't promise a number. Keep the radio topped up and it is ready when the power goes out or a trip runs long.
The flashlight on the end has 3 white LEDs. The reading light folds up from the top and lights a table, a tent or a kitchen counter.
The SOS alarm sounds a loud alarm with a flashing red light when you need to be noticed. For hands-free light on the trail, pair it with the Backcountry Duo headlamp.
The radio measures 6.3 x 2.4 x 3.3 in (16 x 6 x 8.5 cm), carries by its nylon strap and has a small compass on top. The plastic housing is IPX5 water resistant, so rain and spray are fine. It is not made to go under water.
A battery-powered or hand-crank radio is a standard item on home emergency kit lists. Keep this one charged next to your water, your first aid kit and an emergency bivvy.
It receives NOAA Weather Radio on its WB band. In the United States, the National Weather Service broadcasts forecasts, watches and warnings on seven channels between 162.400 and 162.550 MHz, around the clock. Set the band switch to WB, tune to your local station and you hear what is being broadcast.
It is a radio you switch on and tune yourself. We don't sell it as an automatic alert radio, so don't count on it to switch itself on or sound an alarm when a warning is issued.
NOAA Weather Radio is a United States service. It covers all 50 states, coastal waters and US territories.
In Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada lists its Weatheradio service, which used the same channels, as no longer in service. The UK and Australia have no weather radio service on this band.
Outside the US, the radio works as an AM/FM radio, power bank, flashlight and reading light. Local AM and FM stations are where you tune for news and weather.
Four ways. Charge the built-in battery with the included USB-C cable from any USB charger (a wall charger is not included). Without an outlet, turn the hand crank or set the solar panel in the sun. The radio also takes AAA batteries as a backup. They are not included.
The cable is the fast way to fill the battery. The crank and the solar panel are there to keep the radio and the lights going when there is no outlet.
The built-in battery is 20,000 mAh. How many charges that gives you depends on your phone's battery, your cable and how much you use the radio and the lights, so we don't promise a number.
No. It is rated IPX5, which means water resistant: protected against water jets, so rain and spray are fine. Don't put it under water.
