Programming the Weatheradio
USING THE WEATHERADIO WITH A PC
Your Weatheradio comes with a Weatheradio

1. Turn on your computer and start the Windows
operating system (Windows 2000, Windows
ME, Windows 98SE, or Windows XP).
2. Connect the supplied USB cable’s plug to
PC
on the Weatheradio first. Then connect the
other end of the USB cable to the computer.
3. Insert the supplied Weatheradio software CD
into your CD-ROM drive. A dialog box appears
with installation instructions. Follow the instruct-
ions to install the software. After installation is
complete, an icon appears in the lower right
corner of the window. Click the icon to view a
menu that lets you view the alert message log
and define how Weather Reporter works.
If you need help setting up the Weatheradio using
the software on the Weatheradio software CD after
