Problem

Phone generates an error message when

plugged into the WR-089.

My Ipod / IPhone does not display the

charge signal.

My smart phone connector is not

supported. Where can I purchase the

proper tip for my smart phone?

The WR-089 will not fully charge my

smart phone.

A lower voltage output may result in error messages on

the phone but should still charge the phone.

The output voltage of the WR-089 is lower than the

operating voltage of the IPod / IPhone, and will not

charge these devices until the battery is fully discharged.

The device is only intended for emergency charges and

not for topping off already charged devices.

•

Contact Ambient Weather with your smart phone model

and connector type. The connectors included cover about

95% of the smart phone market.

Charging a smart phone through the Phone Charger Jack

is intended for emergency purpose only. It is not intended

for recharging fully a discharged battery. Smart phone

battery capacity significantly exceeds the battery

capacity of the WR-089.

Therefore, a fully charged WR-089 will only partially

charge a smart phone or mp3/mp4 device. After the

battery stops charging the device, disconnect the device

and begin cranking if a DC power source is not available.

Solution

Weather band reception can be poor inside a

metal building, structure or where electronic

noise is present. Try moving outside to improve

reception

Check local reception by driving to a different

location and testing the weather band reception.

Radio reception is dramatically reduced when

charging from USB. Disconnect USB power

when listening to the radio.
