User questions & answers

Question:	does this product have a reading lamp, a flashlight and a red blicking light
Answer:	Yes to all three questions reading lamp works well has red blinker and flashlight love the radio great for anytime but wonderfull when the lights go out
Question:	If you insert AA batteries, does it override rechargeable batt., or can you switch between? Or do you remove the Nimh pack to make room for AA
Answer:	The optional AA batteries are in addition to the included rechargeable battery. Power selector switch on front allows separate choice of "Batt" (i.e. AA cells), or "Crank/Solar" (which are the two ways of charging up the rechargeable battery). So, if you select "Crank/Solar" the radio is actually running off the rechargeable battery, and attempting to use either the solar cells or the hand crank to keep it charged.
Question:	If the internal rechargeable batteries are dead and there are no back-up batteries installed will the radio work on solar power only
Answer:	Thanks for asking the great question ! Yes, the solar panel is designed that way to work... even when the battery is taken out...KaitoOur new KA500L will last longer..and larger solar panel:https://www.amazon.com/Kaito-Powered-Emergency-Weather-Flashlight/dp/B01GUMPKVU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465594656&sr=8-1&keywords=ka500LKaito
Question:	Description of KA500CAM says 5-way powered emergency radio. Photo of product says 4way powered NOAA WEATHER ALERT. Please exp[ain
Answer:	It has a switch on it for NOAA weather alerts. The 4-way power is this: it has a handle you can turn to charge it, that's 1; it has a solar panel for charging, that's 2; it has a lithium ion (or something) battery that you can plug into the wall to charge, that's 3; and you can also put 3 AA batteries in it to power it, that's 4. 4-ways to charge it. I liked this radio, but wish I had bought the digital one for a few bucks more.

User questions & answers

Question:	how is the sensitivy for dxing am and fm shortwave ? How is the sensitivy for recording on am/fm bands
Answer:	I don't understand your question. The radio has a digital tuner. The sound quality from the two speakers is acceptable but could be better. If you're looking for quality source for recording, this is not the equipment for you and should look elsewhere.
Question:	Is this radio waterproof
Answer:	No it is not waterproof or water resistant.
Question:	Does this have same on the radio
Answer:	I do not see this having SAME programming for local alert stations. I have been using the very well made Sangean CL-100’s for more than 15 years and HIGHLY recommend them for the S.A.M.E. NOAA local alert system. I have one at home and one in the office. Easy to program (local county codes updated on NOAA website). Has given me adequate warning to protect property and move vehicles twice in major hail storms and a tornado warning.
Question:	Is this good for a newbie looking to get into shortwave
Answer:	Yes, but I would highly recommend the extended clip on antenna. It's pretty cheap but extends the reception of the radio. I run mine in the basement and run the extended antenna around the copper water pipes in the basement and get great reception. Hope this helps.

A radio makes a world of difference

Over the years, Kaito has proudly supplied millions of radios and lanterns to the State Department, the United States Army, the United Nations, American Red Cross and other government agencies and NGOs for their humanitarian relief efforts. It's hard to believe, but often times a radio is the only way to connect with the outside world in some parts of the globe, and radio broadcasting has become an important and effective tool helping the US and its allies build strong relationship with the locals and educate them to stand up against conflicts and extremism, which in return makes our troops and diplomats safer and more successful in their missions.

User questions & answers

Question:	What electrical power cord should I get for this radio
Answer:	Yes to all three questions reading lamp works well has red blinker and flashlight love the radio great for anytime but wonderfull when the lights go out
Question:	Hi, is this made in China
Answer:	The optional AA batteries are in addition to the included rechargeable battery. Power selector switch on front allows separate choice of "Batt" (i.e. AA cells), or "Crank/Solar" (which are the two ways of charging up the rechargeable battery). So, if you select "Crank/Solar" the radio is actually running off the rechargeable battery, and attempting to use either the solar cells or the hand crank to keep it charged.
Question:	Can you purchase an AC adaptor / Charger for this unit to leave it plugged in at the house
Answer:	Thanks for asking the great question ! Yes, the solar panel is designed that way to work... even when the battery is taken out...KaitoOur new KA500L will last longer..and larger solar panel:https://www.amazon.com/Kaito-Powered-Emergency-Weather-Flashlight/dp/B01GUMPKVU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465594656&sr=8-1&keywords=ka500LKaito
Question:	I am looking for a radio that will remain silent unless there is an emergency weather alert and then it goes off. Will this unit do that for me
Answer:	It has a switch on it for NOAA weather alerts. The 4-way power is this: it has a handle you can turn to charge it, that's 1; it has a solar panel for charging, that's 2; it has a lithium ion (or something) battery that you can plug into the wall to charge, that's 3; and you can also put 3 AA batteries in it to power it, that's 4. 4-ways to charge it. I liked this radio, but wish I had bought the digital one for a few bucks more.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this IP65 water/dust proof, or even just water resistant at all
Answer:	The one I bought came with a disposable Nebo battery . But you can buy the rechargeables .
Question:	No in/out position for solar charging as in the instructions. It has an on/off position. Put to on or off position
Answer:	An 18350 is the wrong size and too large. You need a 16340 instead. Be aware that this at least a 7 year old design - practically made before 16340 rechargeables were much available. Since they start at a much higher 4.2 volts you are running a risk of burning out the emitter. Nebo isn't saying if a rechargeable will damage the flashlight and Nebo provides no information at all about the emitter being used so we can't assess this. (I have tried this flashlight and returned it. You can get these same, very old features in cheap flashlights today for about 1/3 this price.)
Question:	How well does it pick up stations in AM mode
Answer:	It might - I don't know for sure, but the 4.2V may be a bit much for this - I use 3.7V (or 3V) cr123a.
Question:	What does the yellow/green indicator light on the right of the radio front mean
Answer:	It doesn't use a bulb. It uses COB (Chip On Board) technology in combo with a Fresnel lens. And I don't know if anyone sells just the glass lens. But COB is integrated and can't just be replaced - you're better off with buying a whole new flashlight.
