American Red Cross FR500 SOLARLINK

SPECIFICATIONS

Self-Powered and Solar-Powered AM/FM/Shortwave Radio with NOAA Weatherband, Flashlight, Siren and Cell Phone Charger

The Solarlink brings together some of the most popular features of our Voicelink, in a more compact design. This ultra-portable device is ideal to have

on hand when you’re roughing it. It also makes a great addition to any emergency-preparedness kit. No plugs or wires are required. Instead, turn the

hand crank to power the Solarlink, or capture the sun’s energy and run it on solar power. You’ll always know what’s going on, thanks to the AM, FM and

weather bands. You can also tune in to the FCC and EAS public alert systems. Add the ﬂashlight, the cell phone charger and you’ve got one versatile

little device.
