## Long description

Compact, portable torch radio designed for outdoor use and emergency situations. The device combines FM/AM analogue radio reception, a powerful built-in torch, and multiple charging options including an internal Li-ion battery charged via USB-C, solar panels, and a hand crank. A USB-A port lets you use the radio as an emergency power bank, and an adjustable carry strap makes transport simple.
Advantages
The portable torch radio provides long battery life with up to 32 hours of playback on a full charge at moderate volume. Redundant charging methods — USB-C, solar panels, hand crank and optional 3×AAA batteries — ensure continuous operation in power outages or remote locations. The unit includes a loud SOS alarm combined with a flashing strobe light for increased visibility and signalling. Analogue tuning with a long extendable antenna and clear display makes station selection straightforward, while the USB-A output enables charging of other devices in emergencies.
Key specifications
 Power source: Built-in Li-ion battery (rechargeable via USB-C); also supports solar charging, hand crank and 3×AAA batteries (not included)
 Playback time: Up to 32 hours at moderate volume on full Li-ion charge
 Radio: Analogue FM/AM tuning with extendable antenna
 Torch: Built-in powerful torch with strobe/flash mode for SOS
 Alarm: Loud SOS alarm sound with flashing light
 Ports: USB-C input for charging, USB-A output for charging external devices
 Carry: Adjustable carry strap for transport
How to use
Charge the internal Li-ion battery using the supplied USB-C cable until fully charged, or use the solar panels or hand crank as backup methods. Insert 3 AAA batteries if additional backup power is needed (batteries not included). Extend the antenna and use the analogue tuning knob to select FM or AM stations; adjust volume with the volume knob. Press the torch button to switch on the light or activate the strobe/SOS mode. In an emergency, press the SOS/alarm button to sound the loud alarm while the strobe flashes. Use the USB-A port to connect and charge other devices as required.
Recommendations
For reliable operation, keep the internal battery charged when not in use, store the radio with the antenna retracted, and periodically test the hand crank and solar charging. Carry spare AAA batteries for extended outings and ensure the USB-C cable is available for faster recharging.
