Description
C. Crane CCRadio Solar Digital AM, FM, Weather + Alert Windup Emergency Radio (CCRS)
The CCRadio Solar is a small digital portable radio that is successful as an emergency radio but the form and format function invite you to use it daily. Placed in a sunny window it's perfect for the morning news. Audio is a surprise; it's accurate, pleasing and has two modes. A miser mode to conserve battery power in a true emergency and a high-power mode for an even better audio experience. Reception is good for the size. The almost brick size depth and unique UV resistant rubber perimeter is concave on the bottom which makes it inherently stable. The flashlight is above average in brightness and color because of the selected high-quality LED. The hand crank folded and inlaid on in the back is the only visible clue that it's an emergency radio.
The included lithium-ion battery can be recharged by wind-up, solar panel, your USB port, or optional AC charging adapter (not included). When the lithium-ion battery is fully charged, the radio will run more than 50 hours or charge your phone from the approximately 50% level to 100% level. It can also be powered by (3) “AA” alkaline batteries (not included) for approximately 50 hours in low power mode or 35 hours in high power mode.

- Before charging please remove the battery cover.
- Remove the small plastic pull tab between the battery and the contact.
- Make sure the battery is pushed down to make contact with the battery terminal.
- Replace the battery cover.
- Connect the Micro USB charging cable or the optional AC charging adapter (sold separately) to the radios’ charging jack under the flap.
- Connect the USB end of the charging cable to a USB wall charger or a USB charging device. If using the optional AC charging adapter, plug into an AC outlet.

Don't miss out during a winter power loss.
by Tim McCann
C.Crane is known for their quality radios. I got mine from SOLIDSIGNAL at a good price with quick delivery.
C.Crane Solar Radio
by JW
This radio is a gem. It is small and has options for power-solar, crank-up and batteries. It is AM/FM/Weather Channel and reception on all three bands is excellent. Sound quality is decent, especially with the loudness control on. Great radio to have when the power is out and you need to know the weather and other updates.
The Every Contingency Emergency Radio
by Charlie
We bought this radio for emergencies. We picked it over other brands because it has a complete array of features that allow recharge of the long term lithium battery (wind-up, solar, electric). It also has a USB port to charge cellphones. The radio is versatile with Digital AM,FM as well a weather alert channels. The price is competitive and C. Crane service was prompt.
No other emergency radio comes close to this for quality, durability and versatility!
by Steve Klebaur
I have been a C.Crane customer for many years, and knew that this radio would be a quality product that would perform as promised. It is well worth the cost, as most other emergency radios are not much more than toys that are eye-catchingly and colorfully designed on the exterior, but lack the sophisticated electronics that make up this radio. You do, indeed, get what you pay for in this little gem. Tuning is precise, sound is impressive, the light is bright, and the battery holds a charge for a good while. This makes a useful and thoughtful gift to those close to you!
Love this company!

C. Crane = Quality
by Gregory C Mitchell
Excellent radio, high quality sound and quality. My second C. Crane radio and both are excellent. Glad there is still a manufacturer of HIGH quality RADIOS. In the digital era it seemed as though this market was being completely ignored. Thanks.
Consider this if you want good reception
by RGH

A Hit
by sparky61
Solidly built, very good sound quality, useful features in this type of radio & most important - reliable DIGITAL tuning. Definitely recommended.
Great Radio
by Ken
This radio is exactly as advertised. I have another solar radio that is similar to this one but its performance is not even close to as good as this radio. Very happy I invested in this radio.
True Emergency Designed Radio.
by Bob
I read about this radio and knowing about C Crane I knew it would be everything that was written about it, I like every feature this radio has. It is a true Emergency Designed Radio. I have owned it long enough that if there was some feature I did not like I would have found it. The quality and design make it worth the cost.
