Essential Info
The C. Crane CC Solar Observer Radio is compact in size, mid-way between a shirt pocket radio and the full sized CCRadio making it the ideal emergency-style radio to take anywhere. It can powered by the built-in solar panel, winding using the built-in hand crank, through the use of three AA batteries or with a plug-in adapter (batteries and power adapter sold separately). The real idea of this radio however, is to use the solar panel or hand crank as you would be using this radio in and area where power or new batteries are not readily accessible. Typical applications for this radio are for use while traveling, camping or hiking - and it would even be a great source of acquiring information during a black out or power outage. It also has a built-in LED flashlight. You can access AM, FM and Weather Band frequencies and dial it in with a backlit sliding channel panel. Use the radio out loud with the 2.5-inch speaker or you have the option to plug in some headphones. Lastly, included with the Solar Observer are five cell phone adapters* for many popular cell phones and PDA's so you can charge them anywhere. * Adapters included are for the Moto V3 (Mini-B USB), Samsung N630, Nokia 2.0m, LG KG90 and iPhone.

More Info
|
The CC Solar Observer can be powered in four different ways:
Power using the Solar Panel - Place the solar panel in direct sunlight. It is best to angle the solar panel so that it is pointed directly at the sun. The solar panel is hinged to allow for better positioning. In direct sunlight, the solar panel will provide enough electricity to power the radio on its own without additional charging. To charge the internal battery pack with the solar panel, it is best to leave the radio turned off. Sixty seconds of direct sunlight should provide about 60+ seconds of playtime at medium volume, depending on sun intensity. Set the 'Power Switch' to 'Dynamo' to play.
Power by Winding - Unfold the handle from the side of the radio and rotate in either direction. The green 'DYNAMO' light on the front of the radio will glow indicating proper winding speed. After 90 seconds of winding, the radio will play for about 45 minutes.
Power using AA Batteries - When using AA alkaline batteries, the radio should play at normal volume for about 140 hours. When using nickel metal hydrate rechargeable AA batteries, about 100 hours of play can be expected. This radio will not charge user-installed batteries.
Power using an AC Adapter - sold separately.
