Keep Phones Charged – With 10000 mAh rechargeable battery
A built-in 10000 mAh polymer battery supplies USB Type-C output for mobile devices; manual hand-crank and an integrated solar panel provide off-grid charging alternatives. Charging can proceed without mains power by turning the crank or leaving the panel in sunlight.
Phone and tablet recharging during prolonged outages reduces reliance on external power sources and keeps communication lines open.
Receive Weather Alerts Anywhere – Thanks to NOAA, AM/FM and shortwave reception
Tuned reception covers NOAA frequencies (162.400–162.550 MHz), FM (87–108 MHz) and AM (520–1710 kHz), with shortwave reception noted even when the external antenna is switched off. Manual tuning provides quick access to local forecasts and broadcasts.
Access to official weather bulletins and local stations helps make informed decisions during storms or changing conditions.
Signal and See in Low Light – With multi-mode torch, reading lamp and SOS alarm
A super-bright torch offers three modes alongside a dedicated reading lamp, and a built-in SOS alarm provides audible signalling; a compass adds basic orientation. IPX3 splash resistance offers protection from light spray during use outdoors.
Lighting and audible signalling support both close-up tasks and emergency calls for help, while the compass aids simple navigation.
