Product Descriptionback to top »
New from Freeplay comes the Companion Wind-up Radio, which does much more than it's name suggests, packing as it does a radio, torch and mobile phone charger into the compact 4.9" casing.
As well as featuring a hand crank for charging, the Companion can also be charged using the integrated solar charger. The radio will play uninterrupted in direct sunlight, making it an essential addition to any festival kit bag.
With a rubberised body and recessed controls, the Freeplay Companion is built for durability, even in testing conditions.
The radio comes with a charging cable for the new style Nokia charger.
To achieve maximum battery efficiency, Freeplay recommend an initial conditioning charge. Full charge can be achieved with a 10 hour AC charge via the mini USB port.
Please Note: The Companion Radio can be charged via a mini USB lead from your computer, or with any other mini-USB universal charger. Freeplay does not include a charging adaptor with the majority of its products in order to minimise the environmental impact of producing unneccessary charging devices when many people already own a suitable adaptor.
However if you are in need of a charger, Freeplay's versatile and internationally compatible Eco-Charge Mini-USB AC adaptor is perfect for the job.
