Built-in Power Generator with 1 minute of cranking at the optimum rate indicated by the green LED charging indicator, the user is provided with up to 60 minutes of AM radio, 40 minutes of FM radio or 15 minutes of light.

The unit can be operated using the Power Generator or 2 "AAA" batteries (not supplied).

Two Light Settings allow you to choose between using a flashlight or a softlight which adds to the functionality of the radio. In the flashlight setting, the LED provides a bright light that can be used to illuminate an object or help guide the user when walking. The softlight is a low level light that adds illumination to a small area acting as a night light or comfort light when a group of children or adults are gathered around it.

When the Power Generator handle is turned at the optimum rotating speed (in either direction), the green LED Charging Indicator will illuminate. Continuing to turn the handle at this same rate for approximately one minute (120 rotations) will provide a full charge.

Bright Orange Color makes it easy to locate.

The unit is designed to be splash resistant for all weather operation. It cannot, however, be immersed in water.

It can easily fit in an emergency kit, kitchen drawer or the glove box in your car, ready when you need it.

However, all that winding can be tiresome - I suppose it's good for the environment and the exercise is good for me! If cranking the power generator is not for you, then there is th...more

Premium Review Sony ICF B01: It's a wind-up (238 words)

Sony's imaginatively titled 'ICF-B01' wind-up radio is a well-designed product. The silver version (shown above) looks a little dull, but the orange version is very cool indeed. Offering both AM and FM, a soft light and a flashlight, it's great for a camping trip. Although there are no settings for adjusting the sound (apart from volume), the quality is by no means bad, with music and speech being transmitted clearly. When I first used the Sony, it ran for about three days without being wound, and I was very impressed. However, when wound for the first time, it only lasted for 5 minutes.
