You don’t need batteries to power this device. Just turn the crank to tune into AM and FM radio, plus seven bands of shortwave. The crank also powers the built-in flashlight, so you’ll never be caught in the dark. And you’ll never be caught with a dead cell phone battery. Plug the phone in, and with a few turns of the crank, you can power up your cell phone. Anytime you need to stay in touch, we’re there. You’ll be prepared for any emergency, and there’s an added benefit—Etón Corporation will contribute 65 cents of the sales price to support the American Red Cross. Plus each radio includes American Red Cross disaster preparedness tips!
