Radio, Multiband, Solar, Wind-up, MP3
Radio, Multiband, Solar, Wind-up, MP3 (Product Code: SLE/CS/032) is a multiband multimedia radio with MP3 playback that can be powered by its wind-up handle or by solar energy, so it keeps working in classrooms and learning centres with an unreliable electricity supply. It receives FM, MW and two shortwave bands, charges a mobile phone, provides a task light and plays audio from the included 4GB SD card. Schools and education programmes use it for radio lessons, recorded audio content and announcements, and it is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside its educational science equipments.

Typical Use
Many education systems broadcast lessons by radio, and a teacher can play such a programme to the whole class while pupils respond on slates or in notebooks. Recorded stories, language drills, songs or health messages copied to the SD card can be replayed as often as needed, independent of broadcast schedules. The task light helps in dim rooms or during early-morning and evening classes, and the phone charging output keeps a teacher's handset running where sockets are scarce.
To charge by sunlight, place the detachable panel outdoors or on a sunny windowsill and run its lead of about 2.5m to the radio indoors, so listeners can stay in the shade. When the sun is weak, a minute of winding restores listening time. The radio also makes a tangible talking point in energy lessons, where students can compare hand-cranked and solar charging next to a solar energy science kit in India or abroad.
