Will this clock radio run on batteries alone if you dont have electricity such as camping with no power?? I so

It says that it will run on back up, like when the electricity goes off. It seems like it infers that it's only when you have it plugged into electricity, and the electricity goes off, it will revert to batteries. That's about all that I can tell you. My husband even went into the bedroomto read the manual, which he keeps under the radio. We love it, as it's nice and clear stations with the antenna, and really comes in when there's a storm close by. It will probably run a long time on batteries.

I does run on the batteries, but they are mainly for backup. I don't know how long it would run so take extra batteries.

if it is solar it doesn't need batteries. once you hook it up it should start beeping.

You use the crank or solar energy to power everything, I don't think the radio uses batteries at all. Good question!

Yes clock still works thru power failure. The batteries should be fairly new for clock to run for an extended period of time.

The radio can run on AC adapter (not included). Not sure if this will recharge the batteries.

The radio works on both batteries or 110V with the cord.......I listen to my radio every night on 110V and use batteries when I take it camping.

No, it has to be plugged in for the lights to work. There is a small battery that keeps the clock and programming going if unplugged but it will not turn out without being plugged in.

This radio does not have battery backup. If you have the radio set to get the time from the internet and you have wifi signal (or you are using Ethernet) the radio will automatically keep the time. If you unplug the radio or the electricity goes off, the radio will have to reset the time, date and so on. The radio will reboot and do it's setup thing when the power comes back on.

Hi SarahYes, you can run it on battery, but the battery life is short. I use the power plug most of the time.

No on the external ant. Good radio though. I love that it will charge up and work for a while without any batteries.Just dont use it outside on a hot day in full sun. On mine the frequency guide melted.

No batteries. AC power only. As long as you have an international power adapter it should work regardless of geography.

Yes, as long as it is plugged in, you will be able to keep it running. However, as long as you're only using the player as a clock and alarm clock, it's probably not necessary to keep it plugged in. Battery life with just the clock running should be very long, since the clock function uses a tiny fraction of the power that it takes to run the radio or audio file player.

if you pull out batteries out and put back in, just wait a few minutes and it will find radio signal, it isn't a plug in clock. bit runs for a very ong time on the two AA batteries

I have no idea because I've never just left the radio on that long. That's not something you want to test out with this in an emergency. There's a hand crank to supplement the power when there's no sunlight, so you should be doing that periodically.

No. It will work as weather radio and will get alerts but the battery will eventually run down without recharging. A great device to have for entertainment and emergencies.

This model needs to be plugged in. The clock itself is heavy duty enough where I wouldn't see batteries lasting very long if they were an option.

Yes, it will run on no battery at all. Yes, it has a 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug input. But why not rip those CD's to a computer and enjoy the real benefit of this type of device: access your entire music collection over WiFi anywhere in/around your home
