Stay aware of approaching storms or shifting weather patterns, and stay informed of emergency alerts. Eton really did a nice job with this self-powered crank-up emergency radio. It is always a good idea to have an emergency radio on hand that does not depend upon batteries. The problem with most emergency radios is that they get put in a closet until they are needed, and when they are needed, the batteries are frequently drained of life.

The Eton AM/FM/TV-VHF/NOAA emergency radio can be powered from the built-in rechargeable battery, a handy dynamo charging crank or 3 “AA” batteries (AA batteries not included). The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) channels provide emergency weather information. The free adapter to charge your cell phone is included, but must be ordered Eton using an instruction card found in the box.

Charging the radio batteries is easy. Just turn the dynamo crank at a rate of two revolutions per second for 90 seconds. After charging, the radio should run for about an hour. This handy emergency radio is lightweight at about one pound and is available in multiple colors.

Never be without emergency weather information. See the Eton FR300 Emergency Radio at:
