A built-in AM/FM tuner combines a long telescopic antenna with an external antenna jack for improved reception. Dual power modes let the unit run on four AA batteries or AC via the included cord while a large speaker and 3.5mm headphone jack handle audio output.
Easy tuning for older ears - with a large, easy-to-read frequency scale and simple controls
A clear frequency window uses large numbers and three clearly marked buttons to simplify band selection and manual tuning. The scale increases visibility for listeners with reduced eyesight.
Faster station finding reduces frustration and helps older users tune without assistance. Simple, tactile controls make operation instinctive for anyone unfamiliar with modern touch interfaces.
Better AM/FM reception outdoors - thanks to a long telescopic antenna and external antenna jack
A telescopic aerial extends reception range for FM and AM bands while a standard 3.5mm external antenna jack accepts a dedicated aerial to boost weak AM signals. The combination improves signal stability in marginal areas.
More stations are available in rural or fringe locations, which is useful for camping or gardens. External aerial capability provides an upgrade path when reception is poor.
Flexible power and easy portability - with mains power or four AA battery operation
AC power is available via the supplied cord for indoor use while four AA batteries (not included) enable fully portable operation. A substantial handle makes carrying straightforward.
