SuperSonic SC-1097BT 3-Band AM/FM/SW Bluetooth Radio with Flashlight - Red

SuperSonic SC-1097BT Portable 3-Band Radio with Bluetooth and Flashlight in Red

Retro-styled on the outside, genuinely useful on the inside. The SuperSonic SC-1097BT pulls in AM, FM and shortwave, streams from your phone over Bluetooth, plays from USB or SD, and has a built-in flashlight that runs 8 to 10 hours. It runs from its internal rechargeable battery, from AC power, or from four D-cell batteries, which is exactly the kind of flexibility you want when the power goes out.

What's Included

• SC-1097BT 3-band radio with Bluetooth and flashlight (Red)
• Carrying strap
• User manual

Key Features

• Three Bands, Not Two: AM 530-1600 kHz, FM 88-108 MHz and shortwave 8-16 MHz - shortwave is what keeps it useful far from a city signal.
• Bluetooth Streaming: Pair a phone or tablet and the radio becomes a wireless speaker for podcasts and playlists.
• Built-In Flashlight: The integrated light runs 8 to 10 hours on a charge, which is far longer than the radio itself runs.
• Three Power Paths: Run it on the internal rechargeable battery, plug it into AC, or drop in four D-cell batteries for emergency use.
• Play from USB, SD or microSD: MP3 playback straight off a drive or card, plus an AUX input for wired sources.

Care & Use

Wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. Collapse the telescopic antenna before storing. If you are storing the radio for a season, remove the D batteries to prevent leakage, and top up the internal rechargeable battery every few months.
