Freeplay's Companion palm-size hand crank emergency radio has an AM/FM radio, a flashlight with three ultra-bright LEDs and cell phone charger.
Like all Freeplay products, the Companion is made from high quality, industrial strength materials. It's a green energy product you'll feel good about using everyday to be entertained, informed anywhere...any time...and in any situation.
- You'll enjoy AM/FM radio because the tuner is sensitive and the sound quality of the speaker is amazing for a small radio. There's a sturdy telescoping antenna for great FM reception and an internal ferrite antenna for AM broadcasts. You also get an earphone jack.
-
You can totally charge the built-in Ni-MH battery two ways. If its sunny you simply place your radio in the sun. It'll charge...in full... even while its playing.
You can also charge it using any mini-USB AC adapter (not included), like the ones used for many newer cell phones, or directly from your computer's USB port. On a full charge you'll get 12 hours of play time or 16 hours of shine time. Do you need a mini-USB charger? Click here to find one of the best mini-USB chargers available...

| You can feel the quality with the first crank! |
If there is no sun you simply use the hand crank. Winding the crank for one minute gives 20 minutes of radio and 30 minutes of light.
You crank less than with other hand crank radios because Freeplay's charging dynamo is an incredibly efficient patented design that converts 74% of the kinetic energy into stored electrical energy.
- You can charge your cell phone because there's a built-in cell phone charger...
Wind the hand crank for about one minute of cell phone usage. Or you can continue to crank while you're using the cell phone a just keep talking. A charging light lets you know when you're cranking at the optimum charging speed. Charging cable currently fits Nokia cell-phones only. Additional adapters will become available shortly.
