Eton FRX5 S Radio User Manual


 
EMPOWERED BY PREPAREDNESS
On extra alert
When the “Alert” function is on, the radio will automatically
broadcast NOAA emergency weather alerts for your area
such as hurricanes, tornadoes and severe storms. Plus, the
FRX5 S also features S.A.M.E. technology (Specic Area
Message Encoding) for extra alert power. Just enter your
S.A.M.E. county code and if there’s a warning, watch or
advisory you’ll see it—with ashing red, orange or green
lights—and hear about it, too. You can set up to 25 locations
so you’ll be safe, wherever you are.
Listen up
Stay in tune and up to date with this AM/FM/NOAA weather
band digital radio with display and alarm clock. If you want
more than just the radio, there’s an AUX-input to play your
own tunes. And, when you want to listen alone, just plug in
your favorite headphones.
Quad-power
The FRX5 S powers up in four fabulous ways—via solar
panel, hand crank, built-in rechargeable lithium battery, or
alkaline batteries.

All-powerful
The super-sized solar panel will charge
the battery fully in 5-6 hours. Looking
for alternative sources of energy? Crank
the hand turbine for one minute and
you’ll produce enough power for 10-15
minutes of music, news and weather or
four minutes of talk time. You can also use
the micro-USB cable to charge the FRX5
S’ built-in rechargeable battery or pop in a
couple of AAA batteries if you want to go
old school.
Say hello
To charge your smartphone or tablet, simply
plug it into the 5V 2.1A USB port. Power
will automatically “dump charge” to your
device, just like plugging into the wall. The
FRX5 S will fully charge most smartphones
once.
Light the night
Shine the bright LED ashlight to nd your
way. Use the glow-in-the-dark locator and
illuminated buttons when you’re in the dark.
And for big-time emergencies, ash the red
emergency beacon.
Add some ambiance
The built-in, top mounted, dimmable ambient
light on the top of the FRX5 S provides just
the right amount of light for the family to still
enjoy a relaxing conversation or dinner even
while the storm rages outside. Use it to light
the tent on your next camping trip.
Weather or not
The FRX5 S has an IPX4 splashproof rating
2
so neither sleet, nor snow, nor rain will
hamper its performance. Ideal for camping
trips or river expeditions.
