Freeplay
Global
SW Windup Radio
AM, FM & Short Wave
Wind-up Radio
The Freeplay Global
Shortwave incorporates the latest technical advances in
revolutionary self-powered radio design. Ending the need
to ever think of batteries again, the Freeplay Global
Shortwave will play anytime, anywhere offering
dependability and exceptional sound quality with global
shortwave reach.
The Freeplay Global
Shortwave will play for up to an hour under spring power
alone, after winding for a few seconds. With its solar
panel the radio will save spring power by switching
automatically to make use of all available light. It will
play all day in direct sunlight and, for additional
convenience, can also be powered through an AC/DC wall
adapter (optional).
This radio represents
the ultimate in Shortwave dependability indoors and out.
And when the lights go out, put the power back into your
own hands with the Freeplay Global Shortwave - robust
performance around the world, without batteries, without
fail
Optional short wave antenna
This
portable short wave antenna will improve the performance
and reception of your short wave radio considerably, and
will easily outperform its built-in telescoping antenna.
It's antenna wire may be extended to a full 23 feet (7
meters) and when not in use it may be easily rewound into
its case to fit neatly in your shirt pocket. The antenna
is terminated with a 1/8"(3.5mm) mini-plug suitable
for plugging directly into the radio or any other short
wave radio with a 1.8" (3.5mm) external antenna
jack.

This circuit
allows playtimes of up to 60 minutes. At low
power demand, this device stores generated energy
not required by the Radio, resulting in a slower
unwind rate.
