Modern Digital Radio for Emergency Preparedness and Emergencies
The ACTA BERG hand-crank radio combines modern digital radio technology with reliable emergency power supply. In addition to conventional FM reception, the device offers DAB+ digital radio and Bluetooth connectivity for flexible use in everyday life and emergency situations.
During power outages, severe weather, or other crisis situations, reliable access to information can be crucial. With operation via battery, hand crank, solar power, or USB-C, the radio remains operational even when conventional power is unavailable.
Thanks to the EWF emergency warning function in DAB+ mode, the radio can automatically alert users to important warnings when corresponding warning signals are broadcast. This makes the ACTA BERG DAB+ hand-crank radio a useful addition to personal emergency preparedness and emergency equipment.
DAB+ Digital Radio with 80 Station Presets
The model supports several reception methods:
- DAB+ Digital radio
- FM
- Bluetooth
With a total of 80 memory presets, there is ample space for favorite stations:
- 40 DAB+ stations
- 40 FM stations
Digital signal transmission via DAB+ enables convenient radio reception with automatic station information. The LCD/LED display supports operation and shows important information.
EWF Emergency Warning for Important Alerts
Rapid access to information is a key component of emergency preparedness. The ACTA BERG DAB+ hand-crank radio features an EWF emergency warning function (Emergency Warning Function) in DAB+ mode.
This allows the radio to receive warning messages broadcast via DAB+. The corresponding warning signal must be transmitted by the radio station for this function to operate.
Independent Power Supply with Battery, Solar and Hand Crank
The integrated power system provides several charging options:
- USB-C charging port
- Hand-crank dynamo
- Solar panel for charge maintenance and emergency power supply
- Optional 3 AAA batteries (not included)
The integrated 5,000 mAh lithium-ion battery provides long operating times and makes the radio independent of a permanent power supply.
Integrated Power Bank for External Devices
The USB-A output allows the radio to be used as a mobile power source in an emergency.
Suitable for charging:
- Smartphones
- USB devices
- Small electronic devices
The device therefore supports not only access to information but also mobile power supply in emergency situations.
Lighting and Emergency Functions
For use in darkness, the hand-crank radio features several practical functions:
- 1 W LED flashlight with three lighting modes
- Fold-out LED reading lamp
- SOS alarm with audible signal
These features make the radio a versatile part of emergency equipment – for example, for power outages, shelters, emergency backpacks, or mobile use.
Bluetooth, Alarm Clock and Comfort Functions
In addition to its use as an emergency radio, the model offers several additional convenience features:
- Bluetooth playback from external devices
- Two alarm times
- Sleep timer
- Automatic time and date setting
- DRC dynamic range control
This makes the radio suitable both as an everyday digital radio and as emergency equipment for long-term storage.
Flexible Power Supply, Even with AAA Batteries
The ACTA BERG DAB+ hand-crank radio can be powered not only by its built-in 5,000-mAh lithium-ion battery. Alternatively, it can also be powered entirely by 3 AAA batteries. This ensures that radio reception remains available even when the internal battery is completely discharged and charging via USB-C, solar power, or the hand crank is not possible.
When using high-quality AAA batteries, the operating time in DAB+ radio mode at half volume is approximately 8 to 10 hours. The actual operating time depends on the quality and capacity of the batteries used, as well as on usage.
Robust and Compact Design
The compact housing allows for space-saving storage and easy transport. Weighing just 358 g, the device can be conveniently stored and quickly deployed when needed.
The radio is not waterproof and should be protected from moisture.
