Midland Launches the ER310PRO
Midland, renowned for its expertise in two-way radio communication and emergency preparedness for over half a century, has recently unveiled its latest innovation, the
ER310PRO Portable Emergency Crank Radio. This advancement promises to set new standards in emergency preparedness technology. Building upon the trusted framework of its predecessor, the best-selling ER310, the ER310PRO brings a host of powerful enhancements tailored for today’s unpredictable nature of emergencies.
A New Benchmark in Emergency Preparedness
As severe weather events become more common, Midland recognizes the increasing importance of reliable emergency communication tools. Jeremy Pensick, Midland's CEO, emphasizes the critical nature of dependable communication systems amid often devastating weather conditions:
“With severe weather events becoming more frequent and unpredictable, reliable access to emergency communication is more vital than ever.” The ER310PRO not only builds on the success of its predecessor but also incorporates cutting-edge features designed to keep users informed and prepared.
Key Features of the ER310PRO
1. NOAA Weather Alerts
One of the standout features of the ER310PRO is its ability to receive real-time alerts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This ensures that users are promptly informed about severe weather threats, including hurricanes, wildfires, or tornadoes, enabling decisive action to safeguard themselves and their loved ones.
2. Bluetooth Streaming
In a groundbreaking first for Midland, the ER310PRO allows users to stream audio from their mobile devices via Bluetooth. This feature ensures constant access to emergency broadcasts, vital news updates, or even a favorite playlist during power outages, especially when traditional communication channels may be compromised.
3. Power Bank Functionality
Recognizing the need for connectivity during emergencies, the ER310PRO doubles as a power bank. This enables fast, bidirectional charging for mobile devices, such as phones and tablets, ensuring that users can maintain contact during power outages.
4. Extended Battery Life
The ER310PRO boasts an impressive operational capacity, delivering over
200 hours of continuous radio use. This extended battery life is essential for navigating long-lasting emergencies or adventures off the grid, with its upgraded lithium-ion battery offering three times the capacity of the original ER310 model.
5. Multiple Power Options
Midland has designed the ER310PRO with versatility in mind, offering three reliable methods for recharging: fast USB-C charging, a solar panel for sunlight-based recharging, and a built-in hand crank to generate quick power boosts when traditional electricity isn’t available.
Additional Features
Aside from its standout core features, the ER310PRO is equipped with several additional functionalities, such as:
- - A powerful Cree LED flashlight with an SOS strobe signal for emergencies.
- - An ultrasonic dog whistle intended to aid in search and rescue operations.
- - Access to both AM and FM radio for local and national news broadcasts.
- - A large, backlit LCD screen for easy readability, even in low-light conditions.
- - A headphone jack for private listening.
The ER310PRO is packaged with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a USB-C charging cable, and a removable lanyard strap for portability.
