In a compact, rugged and stylish design, the Freeplay EyeMax delivers unparalleled sound quality, playtime performance, dependability and durability. A choice of wind-up, solar and rechargeable power means assured listening anytime, anywhere. An integrated LED flashlight allows you to use your radio as a flashlight providing dependable access to light for everyday and emergency use.

The wind-up mechanism is the world's most efficient human energy conversion system. The winder can be cranked in both directions, and the harder you crank, the more energy you create. A crank level LED lights up to indicate optimum winding speed.

The Freeplay wind-up system is built around a custom designed, highly efficient alternator. The architecture of this patented system has been developed to maximize the ability of the user to convert human mechanical energy into stored electricity quickly and efficiently.

While the basis of Freeplay's superiority lies in the performance of this wind-up system, Freeplay has extended the engineering excellence to every aspect of the radio. The winder handle is made from tough re-enforced nylon and is designed for comfort and ease of use. The transmission (gear train) is constructed to high manufacturing tolerances from re-enforced nylon and acetyl. The transmission has undergone acceleratetd lifetime testing in excess of 500,000 cycles.

Under wind-up conditions, the batteries receive a conditioning charge that negates the memory effect common to rechargeable batteries. Freeplay wind-up systems have reflected no significant battery capacity loss after 10,000 crank charge cycles.

Freeplay EyeMax's highly efficient and robust solar panel is powerful enough that, when exposed to sufficient sunlight, it will charge the batteries and drive the radio at the same time. Even when you're not using it, the radio will charge itself up if left in the sun.

The EyeMax wind-up radio/flashlight is equipped with an AC power adapter that allows you to charge it and run it from a wall power outlet for added convenience.

A finely geared mechanical tuning system ensures accurate control in selecting your preferred AM or FM station. This FreePlay EyeMax Radio model is also equipped with Weatherband capabilities covering the 7 NOAA channels - ideal for everyday use and weather emergencies.

A high performance speaker ensures excellent sound quality with no distortion at high volumes. An earphone socket offers the added benefit of personal listening.

Note: Playtime will vary depending on volume.
