Disaster Radio Compatible with Multi-Batteries, Operates by Collecting Batteries You Have at Home

Disasters can happen at any time. In an emergency, a radio is essential for obtaining accurate information, but sometimes a disaster radio that you thought you had prepared doesn't work because 'you didn't have batteries ready,' 'you didn't have enough batteries,' or 'the batteries have deteriorated and can't be used.' Disaster preparedness items tend to be collected and then forgotten, but it is most important that they can be used in an emergency even if you forget about their existence. That's why we developed a radio that runs only on batteries you have at home. Whether they are AA or AAA, or mixed, it's OK. It will work with a total of three batteries.

Long-term Use Possible by Inserting the Maximum Number of Dry Cell Batteries

This product can be used with any three AA or AAA batteries, but if all batteries are inserted into the battery box, it can be used for approximately 50 hours for AM/FM radio, approximately 23 hours for the LED light, and approximately 25 hours for the siren, allowing for long-term use.

Power Supply Method 1: Multi Dry Cell Batteries

When a disaster occurs, power may not be available due to power outages. Even in such cases, this product can operate with any three AA or AAA dry cell batteries (sold separately), so you can use it immediately by collecting batteries you have at home, providing peace of mind.

Power Supply Method 2: USB Charging

By using the included USB cable and connecting it to a USB port on a computer or other device, it can be charged. This allows for charging during power outages caused by disasters or without occupying valuable power outlets.

Power Supply Method 3: Solar Charging

Equipped with a solar panel that can be charged using sunlight, it can be charged even in situations without dry cell batteries or a charging environment. Unlike hand-crank types, it can be charged by simply placing it in a sunny spot, allowing you to conserve energy during prolonged evacuation life due to disasters.

Power Supply Method 4: Hand-Crank Charging

No dry cell batteries, no USB charging. And no sun... Even in such cases, it's okay. It features a hand-crank charging function that allows you to charge it by hand. Anyone can charge it with simple operation by turning it either clockwise or counter-clockwise. It can be useful in various situations, such as during power outages or in evacuation centers.

Wide FM Compatible: AM Radio Programs Can Be Heard on FM Broadcasts

Wide FM (FM supplementary broadcasting) is a system that broadcasts AM radio programs using FM frequencies, which are resistant to disasters and radio interference, in the service area of AM broadcasting stations. Even in areas where AM broadcasting is difficult to hear, AM radio programs can be heard on FM broadcasts. Even if there is a disaster on the coast, the antenna is in a high place, so it is safe!

Disaster Prevention Function 1: Smartphone Charging

Equipped with a USB-A output port, it can charge smartphones. Even if your smartphone's battery runs out during a disaster, you can charge it and confirm the safety of your family.

Disaster Prevention Function 2: LED Light

Equipped with an LED light, it can be used during power outages caused by disasters or when evacuating at night. Also, it eliminates the need to prepare a flashlight and a radio separately, which is an advantage for reducing the luggage of disaster preparedness items.

Disaster Prevention Function 3: Siren

In an emergency, a loud siren can be sounded. Even if you are unable to move due to a collapsed house, you can signal your location without shouting, allowing you to conserve energy. It can also be used as a security buzzer when encountering crime in evacuation centers.
