Powering the Radio

The weather alert radio is designed to provide continuous service during

emergencies. It has a standard wall adaptor to connect to your power outlet

and is the main source of power; however, backup batteries should be installed

for power outages and other emergency preparedness situations. It uses 4 AA

or 4 C batteries (not included).

Connecting to a Power Outlet

1. Connect the wall adaptor cable to the [6-15 V DC] input jack located on the

back of the radio.

2. Plug the wall adaptor into a 110-115 Volt AC power outlet.

Installing C Batteries

1. Turn the radio upside down and locate the battery door tab. Pull back the

tab and lift it then gently pull the door open.

2. Lower the battery brackets and position the ribbon to the left of the battery

compartment.

3. Follow the polarity marking (+/-) indicated in the battery compartment. Insert

the batteries and replace the battery compartment door.

4. The battery level will appear on the LCD.

Installing AA Batteries

1. Turn the radio upside down and locate the battery door tab. Pull back the tab

and lift it then gently pull the door open.

2. Raise the two AA battery brackets located at the base of the battery

compartment and snap these into place. Ensure the battery ribbon is stored

at the base of the battery compartment.

3 Follow the polarity marking (+) indicated in the battery. Insert the batteries

and replace the battery compartment door.

4. The battery level will appear on the LCD.

Backup Battery Replacement

LOW BATTERY beeps will sound every 10 minutes when the batteries are low,

dead, or not installed. The batteries should be replaced when the battery

indicator

flashes.

1. Turn the radio upside down and locate the battery door tab. Press the door

tab and gently pull the door towards you to open.

2. For C batteries, remove the batteries by pulling the ribbon attached to

the radio.

3. For AA batteries, remove the batteries by gently pulling them out by hand.

4. Follow step 3 under respective "Battery Installation".

Note: When the radio is powered by the wall adaptor, alkaline batteries will

last as if they were stored on the shelf. In the event of an extended loss of

commercial AC power, the radio will operate from the battery as follows:

Battery

Receiver ON, volume level 4

Weather Alert standby

up to 2 days

up to 9 days

up to 6 days

up to 21 days

We recommend using C batteries as they have a longer life than AA batteries.

Radio Antenna

Place the radio where it gets the best reception. Adjust the orientation and

length of the antenna for the best reception. The Weather Signal Level icon will

show the signal strength of the weather channel.

External Antennas

You may experience poor reception depending on the distance to the

NWR transmitter. To improve the reception signal, an external antenna

(not included) can be used. The external antenna should be connected into

the WX EXT ANT jack located on the back of the radio.
