Specifically designed for emergency situations, the
KA500 offers different methods to power itself. Those methods include AC/DC
adapter (not included), three AA batteries (not included), the built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery which can be
charged from the AC adapter, by hand cranking, by solar panel or by a PC, and
the dynamo hand crank which not only can keep the built-in battery fully charged
but also provides power for the radio even when no battery is installed. With its revolutionary design and versatile functions, it’s an ideal
companion for emergency preparedness purposes, outdoor activities as well as
traveling. Unlike any
other emergency radios previously manufactured by Kaito, the KA500's
rechargeable batteries are replaceable, extra battery packs are available for
purchasing on Kaito's website. At the heart of the KA500,
there is an internal generator that recharges the
internal replaceable Ni-MH battery pack and powers the radio, flashlight and
reading lamp. Also, by plugging your cell phone into the jack on the back of the
radio, you can use the crank to power your phone. Not only that, this radio also
features an USB port, which you can use either to charge your radio with a PC or
charge other electronic gadgets with the hand crank. You can use
the KA500 to receive a wide range of broadcasting including AM, FM, shortwave
and NOAA weather stations. The 7-weather channels are pre-programmed and
numbered from 1-7, you can easily and conveniently tune into the stations by
turning the switch, no more guess work involved. Compared with any other
solar-powered emergency radios, the KA500 has its unique 180-degree adjustable
solar panel, which can maximize sunlight exposure to power up the radio or
charge the internal Ni-MH batteries. On the back side of the solar panel flipped
up, there’s super-bright 5-LED reading lamp. Features:
