5.4 Radio Band Mode

NOTE: Radio reception is dramatically reduced when charging from USB. Disconnect USB power

when listening to the radio.

Press the POWER button to turn the radio on and transition from the time mode.

The radio will default to FM band (or the last radio band since power up). Press the MODE button to

change to the AM band. Press the MODE button to change to the Weather Band (WB). While

displaying the Weather Band, press and hold the MODE button for two seconds to change to Weather

Band Alert mode (the WB symbol will begin flashing).

Note: Radio interference will be present while charging the ADVENTURER.

5.4.1 AM/FM Radio Tuning

When the radio is turned on, press the TUN+ button to increase the frequency and press the TUN-

button to decrease the frequency.

To auto scan, press and hold the TUN (+ or -) key for at least one second and the radio will

automatically tune to next radio station with sufficient reception.

5.4.2 Weather Band Tuning

There are seven distinct weather channels. The frequencies are 162.400 MHz, 162.425 MHz, 162.450

MHz, 162.475 MHz, 162.500 MHz, 162.525 MHz and 162.550 MHz.

For a complete list of weather radio broadcasting stations, please visit the National Weather Service

website:

Our recommendation is to tune to the station with the best reception using the TUN+ button. You will

hear the "voice of the National Weather Service", and automated voice that provides forecast

information, weather statements, watches and warnings.

5.4.3 Weather Alert Mode

You can silence the radio and enter the alert mode. The radio will remain in standby mode until there

is a weather statement, watch or warning. To activate the Weather Alert Mode, tune to your local

station as defined in the previous section.

Press and hold the MODE button until the WB symbol begins flashing. The WB symbol will continue

to flash until there is a weather statement, watch or warning. In the event of an alert, the alert light

will flash and the radio will sound (with the voice of the National Weather Service). To disable the

alert light, press any key. To disable the alert light but continue in alert mode, press and hold the

MODE button to two seconds.

To verify you have reception in your area, the National Weather Service (NWS) normally run tests

each Wednesday between 10 a.m. and noon local time. Tests may occur at other days and times when

there is a threat of severe weather in the listening area or for other reasons.

5.5 Cell Phone and mp3/mp4 Operation

Because cell phone batteries vary in their current ratings, we cannot specify charging rates or usage

time. 10 to 15 minutes of cranking may result in 1 or more minute of talk-time, but your results may

vary.
