C. Crane Co COBS CC Solar Observer Wind Up Radio with AM FM Weather and built in LED Flashlight and AC Adapter

In a power outage it is critical to have a radio that has good reception and that You’ll depend on. There are also a lot of other emergencies the radio can be used for. The CC Solar Observer is a wind-up emergency radio with AM/FM and Weather bands, and a built-in 3-LED flashlight. It has about as many different power options as a radio can have:
The best way to use the Solar Observer is to put it in the sun with the solar panel up. After charging for 8 hours in full sun, the Observer can play for about 4-6 hours depending on volume. Please take into account the melting point of the plastic is about 194° F. It will have to not be charged in a hot car or any other unusually hot places. The plastic can melt under these circumstances. No sun? No problem. Crank the take care of rather for about 90 seconds to get approximately 12 minutes of radio play, or use the included AC adapter to charge the battery pack. If you purchased the AC adapter it is best to cycle the battery by plugging the radio in, charging the battery overnight and then unplugging it. It is also a good suggestion to “cycle” the battery pack every 4 to 6 months if you’ll store the radio and use it only for emergencies. This keeps the rechargeable batteries conditioned to take a charge once you are ready to use the radio.
Don’t wish to crank the radio? You’ll insert 3-AA alkaline batteries for power.
