Analogue tuning and volume controls sit alongside an extendable antenna, while an adjustable hand strap helps with carrying. Its single 57 mm driver produces mono sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe built-in 3.7 V, 2000 mAh battery charges through USB-C, with a full charging time of 3.5 hours. At 50% volume, Philips quotes up to 32 hours from that battery or up to 12 hours from three separately purchased AAA cells. The solar panel and hand crank are intended for emergency charging. USB device charging is limited to 5 V, 0.5 A.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor ordinary listening, use the radio's rechargeable battery or the supported separate AAA cells. The crank and solar functions provide additional emergency charging routes, but their output depends on effort, light and time rather than replacing a normal mains charging session at a fixed rate. The USB-A output is limited to the 5 V, 0.5 A rating, so it should not be presented as a fast laptop charger. The torch and SOS functions add separate emergency signalling options. Keep the unit dry and use it within the instructions; no weatherproof rating is assumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA portable AM\/FM radio with torch, audible\/flashing SOS signal and several charging options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA portable AM\/FM radio with torch, audible\/flashing SOS signal and several charging options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGood for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePortable radio listening, local lighting and backup charging of compatible devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePortable radio listening, local lighting and backup charging of compatible devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Philips TAR1609\/00 combines an AM\/FM radio with a torch and an audible and flashing SOS function.
