Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of battery does this unit use? Just saying its lithium isn’t good enough.
The Retekess V115 uses a small removable BL-5C 3.7 volt 1000 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, about 1.25″ wide by 2″ inches tall and about 1/8 inch thick. The radio is supplied with a USB charging cable with a standard type B micro connector. No charging transformer is included. Battery life is exceptional. Spare BL-5C lithium-ion batteries and even separate charging accessories are available on the Internet - How can I use this radio in my chicken?
Never used mine in a chicken. OR any other animal. If you try using it in a chicken, I’m sure the chicken will make too much noise to hear the radio anyway. - I want to record radio programs while I’m away. Can this machine do this?
Hello friend, no, you need to manual on-demand button to record on and record off to the memory card, if you’re away, the record content can’t be saved automatically. Hope this information is helpful for you. - Can u record the conversation, does it have a built-in microphone?
Yes, the MIC is very good quality, even can pick up and record conversations from 20 feet away, can Record from what’s playing on the radio to. For the record, the function has to insert a Micro SD card (think up to 32gb) in the radio. - Is there a way to mute the radio, not just hit the volume down button?
Yes, the play/pause button functions as the mute button while in radio mode. This is an excellent radio I highly recommend it. - how long does the battery last?
It probably lasts 3 evenings. I usually turn it on when I go to bed. My wife turns it off when she comes to bed, but after about 3 evenings, I have to recharge it. Be mindful too, that the louder you play it, the shorter the battery charge lasts. I did buy extra batteries and a separate charger 2 batteries and the charger was about $8.50. You can buy a single battery for under $5. Takes all of 10 seconds to change out the battery. If you search, you can find extra batteries with about 10% greater capacity. - What is the purpose of the square plastic piece with a tab that is attached to the carrying strap?
If you insert the small tab into the slot that is in the battery cover it serves as a prop so you can set the radio on a table and it will be angled up at about 45 degrees. It’s pretty helpful actually - Can the MP3 player be used for audiobooks?
I think the maximum Micro SD it can take is 32 GB and the max time it can record is 3 hours. If audio files are not too large, and in mp3/WMA format, it should play. - How many hours can it record on one full battery when recording radio?
I used mine to record a convention for a total of 4.5 hours at high quality. Volume was at 15. I started with a fully-charged battery, after recording for the 4.5 hr, the battery meter had dropped one bar. Based on this experience, I would estimate I could safely get at least 10-12 hrs recording on a full battery. FYI: I purchased a spare battery and a drop-in charger for it. Thus I can change batteries in about 15 seconds. - can you program the record feature to automatically record a radio show every day?
No, because the radio has no clock/alarm. - can it play in random mode?
Yes, it can. While in Mp3 playing mode press Play/Pause. Scroll down to Play Mode. Scroll down to Random. Bam. It plays Randomly selected songs. You must do this after every time you turn off your unit. Simple to do. Works perfectly! - Will this MP3 player allow me to select a song by entering the song’s “sequential number” with its numerical keys?
Yes, it is so, you enter the song’s “sequential number” with the numerical keys while in play in the MP3 mode, and it will play the song associated with the number you enter. Also if the name of the artist & album have been registered, the name of the song will come in up on the digital display. - Does it have a scan/seek option for fm stations?
Yes, it does. There are three buttons on the lower face of the radio, that are used for the mp3 player. They also are used for scanning
FM and AM stations. There are a few really Informative videos on YouTube about the function of this radio. That was sold me on it. Just go to youtube and put in reviews of V-115 Tivdio radio.
