When you need to stay informed in case of emergency, turn to the self-powered and solar SOLARLINK ARC FR360. Hear news updates on AM and FM stations, and get the latest severe weather alerts with NOAA weather radio. A built-in cell phone charger enables you to keep your phone on and stay in touch, while the white LED light helps you see your surroundings. The siren and flashing red LED light can alert rescuers to your location. You'll be prepared for any emergency!
At the heart of all of Eton's emergency radios, including the SOLARLINK ARC FR360 is an internal generator that recharges the internal Ni-MH battery pack and powers the radio, siren, and light. Also, by plugging your cell phone into the jack on the back of the radio, you can use the crank to power your phone. In our test, after draining our cell phone of power, we recharged it using the SOLARLINK ARC FR360 enough to make a few calls. The rate of cell phone recharging will vary greatly depending on the cell phone and the state of its battery.
According to the product manual, to achieve 40 to 60 minutes of uninterrupted power to the radio, you must turn the crank at a rate of two revolutions per second for 90 seconds. In our test, after our initial 90 seconds of rigorous cranking, the SOLARLINK ARC FR360 powered right up and was still going strong with radio reception after an hour. At the hour mark, we briefly turned the flashlight on, and that too was at full force, with no perceivable drain on radio reception. In fact, the SOLARLINK ARC FR360 was still going strong over 75 minutes after we recharged the battery pack. The dynamo crank tucks itself nicely into the side of the radio and offers little resistance as you turn the handle.
A white LED light is set on the front of the radio, just to the side of the analog tuner. The light is designed to help you down an unlit stairwell or enclosed hallway in a pinch, but it is not directed or strong enough to help you much in a pitch-black forest or other open area. The SOLARLINK ARC FR360 also includes a red flashing LED light that can be used as a distress signal. The radio and light can be operated simultaneously, though of course at the expense of power.
