BATTERY INSTALLATION
You need a 9-volt battery to power your Weatheradio. We recommend an
alkaline battery, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-553. Follow these steps
to install the battery.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing down on the cover and
sliding it in the direction of the arrow.
2. Snap the 9-volt battery onto the battery connector and place it in the
compartment.
3. Replace the compartment cover.
Caution: Remove the battery if you do not plan to use your Weatheradio
for a week or more. Weak or dead batteries can leak chemicals
that might damage the radio.
Follow these steps to operate the radio.
1. Extend the telescoping antenna to its full length. Do not try to bend
or swivel the antenna.
2. Turn VOLUME clockwise until it clicks to turn on the radio.
3. Set FREQUENCY to the position that results in the cleanest reception
(A, B, or C).
4. Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level.
Note: If the signal is broken or noisy, move the radio around to find
the location that provides the clearest reception. If
reception is still not clear, try placing the radio near an
outside wall or window.
5. To turn off the radio, turn VOLUME counterclockwise until it clicks.
Notes: If you are unable to receive the weather station signal,
contact the local National Weather Service office to verify
that the station is on the air.
