Whether it’s a weekend off-grid or an unforeseen power outage at home, continuous information and communication are an essential part of modern life. With the Philips TAR3500, Philips Sound is introducing a portable emergency radio that blends reliable technology, sustainable design and intuitive usability — perfect for adventurers, campers, conscious explorers and consumers wanting the reassurance that they can still connect to the outside world should other options fail.
Building on the trusted design of its predecessor, the TAR3500 doubles battery life and adds enhanced durability, making it the ultimate companion for modern adventures or for peace of mind at home.
Stay informed or easy to find wherever you go - or shelter
The TAR3500 ensures reliable access to information when it matters most, offering clear AM/FM reception with digital tuning and a bright LED display. Its long 550 mm extendable antenna maintains strong signal performance even in remote areas, while a powerful 5200 mAh battery delivers up to 60 hours of playtime—almost double the previous model. It also doubles as a USB-A power bank, allowing users to recharge small devices, and features an intuitive interface with auto tuning, presets, and simple controls.
Designed for the outdoors
Built with safety in mind, the TAR3500 includes a dedicated SOS function, activating a loud emergency siren, flashing light, and ultrasonic dog whistle to help signal for assistance. Designed for outdoor use, it features an IP55-rated housing for dust and water resistance, along with a compact, lightweight form that’s easy to carry or hang. A built-in flashlight and reading light support night-time use, while a headphone jack enables private listening.
Sustainability is also a key focus, with the housing made from 70% recycled ABS and packaging using FSC-certified materials. Combining durability, practicality, and responsible design, the TAR3500 is a modern essential—equally suited for outdoor adventures, travel, or as a dependable addition to any home emergency kit.
Whether packed for a mountain trek, stored in a camper van, or placed in a home emergency kit, it’s ready before you need it — an upgraded companion for every modern adventurer.
