User questions & answers

Question:	Is the crank metal or plastic? Also, for those owning this and the older version with the larger solar panel - is the solar charging equally strong
Answer:	According to reviews, its is rated IPx4 water resistant, IPx4 is water resistance to rain including driving rain from all directions + short-duration (generally means accidental) up to 5 minute full submerging to depth of less than 3 feet. IPv5 and 6 allow prolonged submersion at greater depths (greater depth = more pressure at seals) & withstanding directed pressurized water spray, which this doesn't have but IPx4 is probably the highest water resistance for anything close to this price point
Question:	Is the unit waterproof
Answer:	Any charger that has a micro-USB should work. But please note that Eton states in the manual for the FRX5 --NOTE: The USB power source should be able to withstand a minimum constant 500 mA power output for an extended period of time to fully charge the FRX5's 2000mAh battery.There are at least two units that state they are for the FRX5. Try searching for FR-X5 NFRX5SWXBGHope this helps!
Question:	Can you operate the radio with an external battery pack (the kind that is used to charge cell phones) in the case the internal battery fails
Answer:	I purchased a 800 mah battery but it was too large for the compartment. Any idea of what is the exact replacement battery that fits into the compartment of the Eton Portable?
Question:	What kind of battery does it have and is it replaceable
Answer:	I left it on for almost 24 hours before the volume started to fade. I figured it had a little more juice even after that.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long does it take for the battery to charge on the radio
Answer:	There is no soft rubber coating on the FRX3.
Question:	does this play like regular radio as well

Question:	How do you change the batteries
Answer:	According to my insert this product has a 1 year limited warranty valid from the date of purchase. You must be able to provide original purchase bill at the time you send the product in for a warranty repair. It says Eton will repair or replace the product at their option free of charge with new or reconditioned oarts if the product is found to be defective during the limited warranty time. It also lists the following website. www.etoncorp.com It states the warranty only covers manufacturing defects in material and workmanship. Here is a customer service phone number 1-800-872-2228.I purchased several brands and had to return them because they did not work properly before I purchased the Eton. I found the Eton was the best. Not a light weight construction, very clear radio, charges our cell phones very well. I am in the process of purchasing four more for our emergency go bags.
Question:	Is the clock onthe radio an alarm clock too
Answer:	Unfortunately, I lost that radio a week after I got it. It was stolen from a Walmart in Alabama when I was on a trip. I never got to use it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the surface of radio rubbery? I have one that is rubbery and never feels clean
Answer:	Interesting - the photo that comes up with this question is not what I got, I have the FX1 - it's red with black trim (very similar to the white one in the photo accompanying the screen I'm seeing as I'm responding to the question. The "X" shaped trim that you see on the front is black on mine, and it's a bit softer plastic, maybe slightly rubbery, but I don't get a sense of never being clean. I suspect they've lumped several very similar models into the same question/answer feature on Amazon.
Question:	Does Amazon carry the mini usb cord by itself
Answer:	Just go to www.amazon.com and type in "mini usb cable" in the "Search Box" and then press the little magnifying glass icon and Amazon's results will be displayed.
Question:	Is this radio s.a.m.e. capable
Answer:	It can be set to any of the 7 weather bands. Hope that helps.
Question:	What's the difference between frx1 and frx
Answer:	Pretty simple really, what each item is capable of accomplishing is in the description before purchase.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this model have a rubberized coating? I bought an FR-300 (now discontinued) a few years ago and now the entire surface is a sticky, gooey mess
Answer:	As far as I can tell they are the same. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe Grundig and Eton are under the same umbrella now. I have had no problems with the radio I purchased and it has the Eton brand name on it.
Question:	Can you buy replacement rechargeable battery on Amazon
Answer:	When I first received the radio it played for more than three, weeks on one set of batteries - about two hours of usage per day at moderate to high volume. When I replaced the batteries, they new set lasted less than 4 days. At the same time, the amount of play for a 2 minute cranking of the dynamo declined from more than an hour to less than 10 minutes. I attempted to return the unit for replacement but I had exceeded the 30 day warranty period. So, if you purchase this model, use it as much as possible in the first 30 days and promply notify Amazon if the performance declines and you want a replacement or a refund.
Question:	what is the warranty on this item
Answer:	Yes through the usb port on the back. As long as the unit has a charge it will work.
Question:	How long to charge a cell phone
Answer:	It comes with an AC adapter. I use mine with the AC adapter most of the time, seems like the signal comes in stronger that way.

User questions & answers

Question:	How is this model FRX2 for $35 different from the one for $43.30? I noticed one says it's by Eton and the other says it's by Grundig
Answer:	It recharges much faster by hand cranking...about a minute of that gives you 7 minutes of full volume radio...which is pretty loud. Direct sunlight, for 10 hours, will completely charge the battery, though. I realise that's not a very helpful conversion, since a full charge is certainly more than 7 minutes. That's the only comparison I saw in the instructions.
Question:	What's the capacity of the inbuilt battery? Alternately, how long will the radio play at a moderate volume on a full charge? Thanks
Answer:	The rechargeable batteries in mine last about 8 hours on a full charge with the radio playing. When I use alkaline batteries I get about 20 hours of play time.
Question:	Will this charge an iPhone 5s from the hand crank
Answer:	I have no idea. Note it recharges by use of a hand crank so does it really matter?
Question:	Does it take an AC adapter
Answer:	It doesn't turn off. It is meant to run a clock which always shows on the screen. Otherwise you can turn off all the other features like radio, charging, etc.
