I have 2. The first is 2 yrs. old. Once you get the hang of using it as a computer ( I had trouble learning), it is great.P.S.: after looking at the other answer: remember that Chinese is the default language. Remember to get to English, go down 6 on first menu, then 2 on second menu.

My husband has had this for probably a year now...He uses it every day to listen to the radio....He does not download songs or anything like that...My husband charges it every other night through our computer...Ready in just a few hours...My husband said to let it lose all of it's charge before you charge it up all the way again....Don't charge it with 1/2 a charge.....

I returned mine after 2days. It would not display English, only Chinese. It was a piece of crapola.

I have had it for almost two months. So far so good. While it is charging, you can not use it; then I suggest to charge while not needing it.

I have only used the radio. Sorry but I can't help. I would call the manufacturer.Usually customer service at any company can walk you through the instructions.

I have not purchased one in a while. It's not worth the money purchasing Eton products. Every radio I purchased from them lasted less than 18 months and I barely used the radio's. They all were sticky and disgusting after 6 months of use.

This is my second radio. I bought the first one many years ago and it worked for several years until my cat knocked it on the floor and the antenna broke. It no longer received signals and the battery backup unit no longer worked when I put in new batteries, so I had to replace it. The new one is exactly like the old one. I'd say the old one worked for at least 5+ years, so as long as it doesn't fall on the ground or get 'fried' by a lightening strike it should work for a very long time. FYI, plug it into a surge protector and keep the batteries fresh. Hope this helps?

its not a bad radio, though it has greatlimittions like no bluetooth, deficent tuning, too many big size batteries (6) old fashion transformer cable hook.sound is very good when well tuned,lack a light at tuning point so its difficult to verify stations frequency. i believe that´s why you find 1 star reviews, given the actual technology this seems a radio built in the 1950s - regards - jose eskenazi from chile

hi--i listen usually twice a day for 2 hours total. the batteries last for 4 or 5 months. the radio starts to beep when the batteries start losing juice. i love this radio!!

No, in fact this radio lasts so long with one set of batteries is unbelieveable. That is why we have bought two already and I am ordering three more, one for each of my sons for Christmas. They won't have to borrow mine anymore for those camping trips.

I turn it up either on the radio or the device it's connected to...I went threw two of those thing your best bet is to get the expensive one from Walmart..it's like 20 bucks i think and it's lasted me awhile!

Connie, The radio has a 90 minute auto shut off. I guess I haven't used it for that amount of a time because it's never shut off while I was using it. Kim

Send it back, and get a different replacement radio. I'm using a different radio since then, . Will not own another one at this point. My first one lasted 7-8 years of daily use. The 2nd was a piece of junk in comparison, lasting not even a year w/ ocaisional usage. I see the quality has gotten worse.

it' been a good little radio. i always have it with me. i drop it all the time. it takes a lick'en and keeps on tick'en. be sure not to cheep out on the battery's (99 cent store) however 99 cent store battery's will work just fine. it has an old school speaker. so you don't need head phones. and every one will know how smart you are for having kfi am 640 on your radio.

The first one I purchased lasted about two years and went south. My current Midland weather radio has been in service about ten months.It kept me up last night until 12:30 AM because of storms in Nebraska. Hope it lasts. If it craps out, I am looking for another brand.
