PREPARATION
POWERING THE WEATHERADIO
Your Weatheradio uses standard AC power for nor-
mal operation and requires one 9-volt battery (not
supplied) for backup power when AC power fails or
is temporarily disconnected. For the best perfor-
mance and longest life, we recommend a Ra-
dioShack alkaline battery.
Cautions:
• Use only a fresh battery of the required size
and recommended type.
• Do not use a rechargeable battery in your
Weatheradio.
Connecting AC Power
If the Weatheradio’s display is on, rotate
VOLUME
toward
OFF
until it clicks to turn off the Weatheradio.
Then plug the Weatheradio’s power cord into a stan-
dard AC outlet.
