Frequently Asked Questions

• How long does a hand-crank radio take to charge?
  The hand crank alone can take up to 16 hours to fully charge the battery. The aim of the crank is to get enough charge in the battery to power the radio for weather announcements or charge a phone enough to make a call, not to fully charge the gadget.
• What is the best way to charge an Eton radio?
  For a passive charging alternative, spin the hand turbine for 60 seconds to gain 10-15 minutes of radio and flashlight use, or place the emergency radio in the sun. When you hook your phone into the USB port, it will immediately “dump charge” to your phone, just like it would if you plugged it into the wall.
• What is the purpose of an emergency crank radio?
• The radio can be charged with a hand crank, solar power, or AAA batteries if the battery dies. It listens to AM/FM radio and NOAA weather stations, and it sends out emergency notifications when severe weather is on the way.
• What is the operation of a hand-crank radio?
  A hand-crank radio is one that does not require external power to operate. The user just cranks the device to charge an inbuilt battery, letting it function even when the power is out.
• How long does it take to crank a flashlight with a hand crank?
  Another popular type is the windup or crank-powered flashlight, which uses a battery that is replenished by a generator that is operated by a hand crank on the flashlight. Typically, one minute of cranking generates 30 to 60 minutes of light
