Roberts introduce the next generation solar DAB radio This stylish & compact DAB/FM portable radio has a solar panel integrated into the top of the unit which absorbs direct sunlight in order to power the radio. There is an LED solar & battery indicator & under good conditions there is sufficient power generated to charge the batteries & power the radio. Solar DAB 2 enables you to use your normal AA batteries or rechargeable AA batteries. The radio will charge your rechargeable batteries with a flick of a switch. Once fully charged the low power consumption of solar DAB allows the batteries to power the radio for up to 20 hours without the need to recharge them. The radio can then be used away from sunlight or mains electricity until recharging becomes necessary. The batteries can be recharged either by sunlight or using the supplied mains adaptor if there is not sufficient light available solar DAB is ideal to be used in gardens conservatories greenhouses on suitable windowsills or away from home while camping fishing at the beach or anywhere that you wish to listen to the radio away from conventional power sources DAB/FM RDS wavebands Solar battery or mains powered FM RDS station name display Rotary tuning & volume controls Built-in battery/solar charger Station name / multi preset mode One touch instant access to favourite station LED solar level indicator LED battery indicator Soft touch rubberised controls USB (Universal Serial Bus) socket for software upgrades Line in socket for iPod / MP3 playback Headphone socket Battery or mains operation via AC adaptor (included) Uses 3 x LR6 (AA size) batteries or rechargeable equivalent (included) Dimensions: 140 x 202 x 70mm (H x W x D) 623g in weight
