every 30 second seconds (at 1 minute, 1.5
minutes, and so on) for 5 minutes. It then sounds
every five minutes until you press any key, or
until a signal is received.
If you press any key to silence the reminder, the
reminder beepsstop.If a signal is detected for
more than 10 minutes and then lost again,the
reminder beeps regenerate.

The FCC Wants You to Know
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your weather radio.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

Care
Keep the weather radio dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use
and store the weather radio only in normal temperature environments.
Handle the weather radio carefully; do not drop it. Keep the weather
radio away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally
to keep it looking new.
If your weather radio is not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance. To locate your nearest RadioShack,
use the store locator feature on RadioShack's website
(www.radioshack.com), or call 1-800-The Shack (843-7422) and follow
the menu options. Modifying or tampering with the weather radio's
internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its
warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.

again to turn off the weather broadcast.
OFF — When ALERT is set to OFF and an
alert broadcast is received, an alert sounds
for 10 seconds. The radio then automatically
switches to the weather broadcast for five
minutes. Press WEATHER/SNOOZE to
switch from the alert tone to the broadcast
before the 10 seconds, or to stop the
broadcast before it automatically stops.
