on the correct frequency and fail to get a signal, check that you have power and/or try placing the radio close to a window.

c) Your location is out of range from a weather radio transmitter; the broadcast range from the weather radio

transmitter is approximately 40 miles. The effective range depends on such things as terrain and quality of the receiver and indoor/outdoor antenna. Log onto http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/nwrbro.htm to see which frequency best serves your area.

d) Metal structure; to improve the radio’s ability to receive NOAA broadcast; do not place the unit near any large

obstructions or metal surfaces such as refrigerators, metal cabinets, etc. In metal structures, such as mobile homes, reception is difficult because the metal structure impedes the transmission of monitor waves, in this case, place the radio close to a window to improve reception.

e) Radio frequency interference; some electronics may cause radio frequency interference such as two-way radios,

remote control cars, etc. Place the unit as far away as possible from these devices or avoid the usage of devices that cause radio frequency interference while the unit is in alert mode.

f) The tuner has drifted off the weather channel station.

• If there is excessive background noise while monitoring alerts; or when the alert comes on, adjust the volume using the Volume Control Knob or relocate the unit to a better location where you can hear the weather broadcast without risk of interference from background noise.

• If you are out of audible range of or far away from the unit; or if there is an obstruction between you and the radio, be sure to check the unit for warnings periodically or remain close enough (within hearing range) to clearly hear and understand the alerts.

WARNING:

To ensure to continuously monitor alerts from NOAA while the unit is in alert mode, the unit should be checked periodically to confirm its functionality and for loss of reception; also check for loss of reception after moving the unit to a different location; also check for loss of reception after moving the unit to a different location or re-orienting the unit in its existing location.

• Test Warnings from NOAA: All National Weather Services periodically transmit test signals. Some stations

broadcast a test signal every week on Wednesday between 11 AM and 1 PM, while others test more often, the NWS may also broadcast System demonstrations. You can find out when your local NWS broadcasts test signals by calling the NOAA National Weather Service Forecast Office (listed under “Weather” in the Federal Government section of the telephone book.) During the weekly test signal, the local NWS will give a list of counties covered by their transmitter.

Power System

This unit has a unique power system. Its primary power source is the standard “C” dry cell battery. This unit also comes with a built-in Ni-MH Rechargeable Backup Battery, that serves as “auxiliary” power for the

AM/FM Weather Alert Radio and LED Emergency Light should no other power source be available. This auxiliary power system may be recharged using the Fold-Away Hand Crank.

Note:

Backup battery power will only operate the Radio and LED Emergency Light. IT CANNOT POWER THE LANTERN.

POWERING THE UNIT

The unit can be powered in one of two ways:

1. With nine (9) standard dry cell “C” batteries (not included).

2. Using the internal backup Ni-MH battery.

The backup battery allows the Radio and Emergency Light to operate when the “C” batteries are expended and replacements are not available.

The rechargeable backup battery is not user-accessible.

Controls and Functions

• Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that unit be kept upright during storage, use and recharging. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, protect it from direct sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture.

• Check unit periodically for wear and tear. Take to a qualified technician for replacement of worn or defective parts immediately.

WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk:

• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.

• Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and –), marked on the battery and the equipment.

• Do not short battery terminals.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and type.

• Immediately remove batteries that will not hold a charge and dispose of per local codes.

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

• Keep batteries out of reach of children.

“Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.”
