Be prepared for weather emergencies with the Etón FRX3. It features a glow-in-the-dark frame on the handle, so when the lights suddenly go out, the FRX3 is easy to find. And don't worry about fumbling for a light — there's an LED flashlight built into the radio.

Be prepared for weather emergencies with the Etón FRX3. It features a glow-in-the-dark frame on the handle, so when the lights suddenly go out, the FRX3 is easy to find. And don't worry about fumbling for a light — there's an LED flashlight built into the radio.

The FRX3 has a built-in digital AM/FM tuner. It can receive all seven NOAA weather bands, so you can monitor changing atmospheric conditions. And thanks to the FRX3's USB charger, you can keep your mobile phone powered up, so you can at stay in contact with the world.

Take the FRX3 along on your next camping trip, day at the beach, or picnic. Its solar panel can recharge the built-in battery pack in about 10 hours. If you can't wait that long or if there's no sunlight available, you can charge up the radio using its buit-in hand-cranked dynamo. If you have power, you can keep the radio charged through a USB connection to your computer. Or just power it with three "AAA" batteries (available separately).

Features

Overview: This is a portable AM/FM, weather band, emergency alert radio. The FRX3 can be powered by five different sources; the rechargeable Ni-MH battery (included), three AAA batteries (not included), the hand crank, built-in solar-panel, or USB DC. The hand crank provides emergency power. The unit also has a light and siren.

7 Weather Channels: This device allows you to select from one of the seven NOAA weather broadcast channels. These broadcasts are found in the public service frequency band, and include 162.400MHz (Channel 1), 162.425MHz (Channel 2), 162.450MHz (Channel 3), 162.475MHz (Channel 4), 162.500MHz (Channel 5), 162.525MHz (Channel 6), and 162.550MHz (Channel 7).

Weather Alert: Alert will turn the radio on when a weather alert is broadcast on the weather frequency you currently have tuned.

Antenna: This AM antenna in built into the radio. The 30" telescoping antenna covers all other bands.

Siren: The loud siren alerts others of your location if you need assistance.

Rechargeable Battery: The FRX3 features a built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery (3.6V/600mAh). It can be recharged by the built-in hand crank, the integrated solar-panel, or your computer (using the including USB cable). A fully charged battery can last between 3-4 hours.

  • Hand-Crank Charging: 90 scones of hand cranking provides approximately 5-7 minutes of radio at low volume or about 20 minutes of flashlight.
  • Solar Panel Charging: 10 hours in the sun will allow approximately 3 hours of low volume playback.
  • USB Charging: The battery will be fully charged in approximately 2 hours.

Cell Phone Charger: There is a phone charger output (USB type-A) on the side of the radio. You can charge your cell phone using the hand crank (phone specific adapters are available directly from etón). 10 to 15 minutes of hand-cranking results in only 1 minute of talk time.

Alarm Clock: The FRX3 has a built-in digital alarm clock.

Light: The built-in light has two modes; two white LEDs stay lit constantly to serve as a flash light, or a single red LED flashes as a beacon.

Glow-in-Dark Locator: After absorbing light energy, the glow-in-the-dark locator glows up to 8 hours allowing it to be found easily in the dark.

Line-Output: The FRX3 is fitted with a minijack (3.5mm) line-output for connecting the radio to your home stereo system.

Headphones: On the back of the radio is a 3.5mm (1/8") headphone jack.
