Pocket Weatheradio
with Tone and Vibrating Alert
OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Your RadioShack Pocket Weatheradio is designed to receive National Weather Service (NWS) broadcasts, which provide information about weather conditions and forecasts 24 hours a day.
Your Weatheradio searches for the strongest signal among the 7 weather channels (WX) and tunes to the strongest channel. The Weatheradio receives these transmissions from up to 40 miles away.
The Weatheradio sounds an alarm or vibrates when a weather station broadcasts a special alert signal indicating a weather emergency, keeping you up to date on your local weather situation.
Next Button — lets you choose the channel and check the alert tone or vibrator.
Battery-Saving Circuit — minimizes power consumption in the alert mode.

The FCC Wants You to Know
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
•If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your Weatheradio.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your radio uses three AAA batteries for power. For the best performance and the longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Note: Do not use a rechargeable battery in your Weatheradio.
1.Press down on the battery compartment cover and slide it off.
2.Install three AAA batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside the compartment.
3.Replace the cover.
If reception becomes weak or the sound becomes distorted, replace the battery.
If your radio’s batteries become weak, your radio might not sound a tone when an emergency or test alert is broadcast. Test your radio’s reception periodically (see “Testing Alert Reception” on Page 9).
Caution: If you do not plan to use the radio for several weeks, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
