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.

NOAA Certified Emergency Radio

Comprehensive broadcast coverage includes AM, FM, SW1 and SW2, plus all 7 pre-programmed national weather channels with real-time alert. Don't be fooled by other so-called "weather radios", chances are they are not certified by National Weather Service or authorized to use its Logo as the Kaito Voyager KA500 is.

Be Prepared for the Worst

Life is full of uncertainties, emergencies often occur unexpectedly and natural disasters sometimes strike without any warning signs. The least we could do is to be prepared by having important emergency supplies readily available, making a plan for yourself and your loved ones, and being informed. Such simple and easy actions will make all the difference should our worst fear be realized. With Kaito's revolutionary Voyager KA500 6-way powered, multi-functional emergency radio, together we can make a difference!

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 is the SOS alarm, and does it actually send a signal
Answer:	No
Question:	If the 2000mh power bank is depleted and my phone is plugged into it, would the phone still charge off of the triple a batterys
Answer:	There is no indication that the battery is replaceable. If it were, it would probably cost more than a new flashlight anyway. When/if it gives out, you'd throw the battery away anyhow. That is the bigger pollutant than the rest of the plastic case. With all due respect to the environment, I'd say it's a minor worry.
Question:	How long of a life does this radio have? And I am talking about it’s full life after charging over and over? 1 year? 2-3 years
Answer:	It says on the instruction sheet that it s NiMH
Question:	Can you keep the 2000mah battery going indefinitely with cranking in case of a hurricane that knocks out power for weeks
Answer:	Not very bright. I'd say around 50 lumens

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the Midland ER 210 waterproof
Answer:	The Midland ER 210 is not waterproof.
Question:	Does the replaceable 18650 battery have tabs? Is there any reason it could not be replaced with a 3400 mAh
Answer:	I bought the "first-generation" of the ER310 radio in March 2018; from this same page on Amazon. The battery died recently. The battery for my radio has a "pigtail" connector on the end, not a standard battery connector. The battery has been discontinued. The Midland website gives a phone number to call if you need the pigtail battery. When I called they said the battery was discontinued, and they would sell me a newer model of the radio, that doesn't require the discontinued battery, for the price of the old battery, which was $25. So I just ordered that. There's now a second-generation version of the ER-310 radio that doesn't use the "pigtail" battery. I can't tell from the photos on the Amazon page if the radio sold on this page is the "first-generation" or "second-generation" one. I would think it's probably the second generation; if it's the first-generation, I wouldn't buy it.
Question:	Can you program alerts for what counties you neef
Answer:	Hello Brandi, the ER210 does is not programmed for S.A.M.E codes. It has 7 NOAA/NWS weather channels to choose from. • Press the BAND button to select the weather band. • Then use the TUNE buttons to select the strongest weather channel in your area. Typical broadcasts are within reception distance of 25-50 miles of the weather station. Fully extend the telescopic antenna and rotate until reception is clear. The ER210 can receive broadcasts up to 50 miles from the weather station depending on your location and conditions of weather, terrain, etc. If reception is not good, try a different location to find a spot of improved reception. If indoors, placement near a window usually improves reception. If a weather broadcast cannot be heard on any of the 7 channels, contact your local NOAA/NWS office and verify the closest station is on air. Their web site is http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/
Question:	How long do you have to hand crank to charge it
Answer:	Quit cranking, let the sunlight charge your radio. A few hours and when you see 4 bars you are good to go.

• 【USB, Solar, and Manual Charging】: No electricity? No worries. Thanks to its 3 charging methods, the Rechargeable Radio is always ready to go! The powerful 1000mAh battery can be charged via a USB cable, the solar panel, or the hand crank.

User questions & answers

Question:	After 6 hours of charging mine the red light won't go out. How do I know it's charged
Answer:	Please kindly be noted that the charging light staying in red is a symbol to show that the radio is fully charged, which means the charging light will not turn green. However, if the charging light flashes red, then it means that the item is still in charging. Hope this will help.
Question:	Has anyone actually used this to charge their cell phone? In my experience that supposed feature never works on these things. Any success anyone
Answer:	I used this feature during Hurricane Irma, but the "charging" was minimal. The radio had a hard time holding power to broadcast while also charging the phone. My suggestion to anyone who is looking for a phone charging option in case of loss of power is to buy a backup power cell with a USB port for your phone to plug into. Much more reliable than trying to use the crank radio. All other features on this radio work well, though.
Question:	How long it takes to be fully charged via usb
Answer:	It takes about 4 hour to fully charge the radio via USB.
Question:	Can you *charge* the radio/flashlight using the usb cable? thanks
Answer:	Yes, you can charge the radio via the provided USB cable.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much current (mA) does the charger output produce
Answer:	I haven't had it for a year yet but have left it in a drawer for several months and took it our recently and it was still charged. All you would have to do is crank it again if it wasn't charged ! This little lite is really cool. I love it. I keep it in my nightstand just in case I need it ! Get a couple of them. I bought some for fun gifts .
Question:	Would like to know how long the flashlight can be used w/o recharging please. If just having a power outage, I'd like to be able to read. Thanks
Answer:	It’s not 200 lumens. They explained in the description that it isn’t very bright; 200 lumens is -very- bright. I’d say this light is maybe about what your phone light puts out.
Question:	Can this charge a phone and play the radio or flashlight at the same time
Answer:	The MECO flashlight is a little smaller and has a solar panel on the side. Also the crank is on the side where the energizer has is on the bottom.
Question:	Is this item Water Resistant
Answer:	I would say it is weather resistant at best.It is an inexpensive flashlight made in China. It is not something I would count on to save myself in a post apocalyptic world.
