Description
Short product description
When the power goes out, the weather turns, or your phone battery is running low, confidence starts with being prepared. The Midland ER310 Emergency Crank Weather Radio helps you stay informed, connected, and ready with NOAA weather alerts, AM/FM radio, multiple backup power options, a bright emergency flashlight, and USB device charging—all in one dependable emergency essential.
Keep one in your home emergency kit, storm shelter, vehicle, camper, cabin, or go-bag, so you are not left relying on one power source when it matters most.
Why you’ll want it
Stay ahead of severe weather
Do not wait for the storm to reach your door. The ER310 scans available NOAA weather channels, finds the strongest local signal, and can sound an alert when severe-weather information is issued for your area. It also receives AM/FM radio for everyday updates and listening.
Keep information within reach
A dead outlet should not mean a dead radio. Recharge the ER310 through its built-in solar panel, hand crank, or rechargeable 2600 mAh lithium-ion battery. It can also run on six AA batteries, sold separately, for another layer of backup power.
Light the way when the lights go out
Find your way around the house, check a breaker panel, or signal for help in low-light conditions. The integrated 130-lumen CREE LED flashlight includes low and high brightness settings, plus an SOS beacon that flashes the Morse-code distress signal.
Give your phone a backup plan
Use the radio’s USB output to help charge a compatible phone or small portable device when regular power is unavailable. It is a practical backup—not a replacement for keeping your devices charged before severe weather arrives.
Be easier to locate
The built-in ultrasonic dog whistle provides an additional sound signal intended to help search-and-rescue teams locate a person during an emergency.
