Weatheradio Alert
(120-0246) Operation Faxback Doc. # 19121
LISTENING TO THE RADIO
Follow these steps to receive a National Weather Service broadcast.
1. Set WEATHER/ALERT/LOCK to WEATHER.
2. Turn VOLUME/OFF clockwise until it clicks, and adjust it to the
desired sound level.
3. Fully extend the telescoping antenna.
4. Set CHANNEL to the position (1-7) that produces the clearest signal.
USING THE ALERT ALARM
You can set the radio to alert you only when it detects a weather
emergency, so you do not have to continuously listen to the National
Weather Service broadcasts.
1. Turn on the radio.
2. Set CHANNEL to the position that produces the clearest signal.
3. Set WEATHER/ALERT/LOCK to ALERT.
In an emergency situation, your Weatheradio will automatically sound an
alert siren for 10 seconds.
NOTES: After hearing the alert siren, set WEATHER/ALERT/LOCK to WEATHER
to hear the emergency information.
To ensure your Weatheradio will sound the alert tone when it
receives an emergency signal keep the antenna fully extended at all
times.
If severe weather threatens, do not wait for an alert tone; turn on
your Weatheradio and monitor the latest weather information.
Because the alert is broadcast for 10 seconds, if you set the
switch to WEATHER immediately after the siren starts to sound, you
hear the broadcast tone for the remainder of the 10 seconds, and
then the emergency information.
