Unit has a torch and sound alarm. When You will push alarm button - torch light will flash and alarm sound will be heard. Perfect solution in case of emergency. You may charge Your electronic devices using USB interface ( classic USB or USB C ). Unit has own battery to be recharged with solar panel or by manuał charging using crank. You may also place 3×AAA batteries. FM radio will be useful for receiving latest news. For me - perfect unit.

Purchased this last week as a spare radio ,so only checked it works and have not used it a lot. Excellent Philips Quality, very well packaged. Arrived in 2 days. Sound quality very good with the long arial.Be advised to check Philips/support website for all the info, the instruction book isn't very good.Only on battery AAA x3 the info says it will last 12 hours at moderate volume. Which is not good.However of you charge using the inc USB - full charge 3.5 hours(mine was 2) It says you will get 32 hours of playback. The solar charging times I cannot say.

For its size, this is a very good emergency radio. I wound it up with approximately 20 rotations of the wind-up handle and it provided at least 6 hours of continuous FM play. Sound quality for speech was clear and completely audible/understandable. Sound quality for music was acceptable (noting that music listening would not be the main objective of this radio as It is designed for emergency situations such when the big one happens with an extended period of no electricity supply and/or no batteries) .The little light at the top of the radio is equivalent to a pen sized torch light. The audible emergency sound is loud, probably in excess of 70 decibels.My only niggle is that the wind up handle could have been made sturdier as I suspect it would snap off if it were turned too quickly or used strenuously.All round however it is a very good practical design and fit for purpose. I will buy a second unit for the car.

Great item, does the job very well
