Introduction
Weather Alert Status — indicators on the front of
the Weatheradio light, showing you the type of alert.
12-Character Liquid Crystal Display —the
Weatheradio’s large, easy-to-read display clearly
shows a description of the type of alert in progress
(such as a tornado warning, flood watch, and so
on), setup and programming information, the
currently selected alert type and FIPS mode, and
notifications about how the Weatheradio is working.
Missed Alert Reminder — so you do not miss
important weather alerts, the Weatheradio sounds
tones every 10 seconds while an alert is active.
External Alert Terminals — let you connect an
optional external controller system (such as a Plug
’n Power
or X-10
system) to the Weatheradio,
then set that system to indicate an alert based on
signals received by the Weatheradio. This lets you
hear or see the alert in a location (such as the
garage) that might be some distance from where
you installed the Weatheradio.
External Antenna Connector — lets you connect
an optional external antenna to the Weatheradio to
improve reception in remote areas.
