WEATHER RADIO SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: This product should not be the only source of information for all-hazard, watches and warnings. If severe  
weather is imminent; do not wait to receive the weather alert warning, take precautionary measures to protect yourself.  
WARNING: The Weather Radio in this unit is designed to receive NOAA weather and other emergency alerts as listed  
on page 12 of this manual and communicate these alerts to you. You may not receive or clearly hear these alerts under  
any of, but not limited to, the following circumstances:  
• Improper setup (Unit not in Alert Mode, or turned on); make sure that the unit is turned on and the Alert LED indicator  
is lit, (see page 7 for Weather Radio instruction).  
• Volume is too low; adjust the volume to an audible level using the Volume Control Knob.  
• Loss of AC power and/or the internal batteries are dead. Recharge the unit using the DC charging method on page 7 or  
using the AC charging method on page 6 following return of AC power. Be sure to occasionally place the unit back on charge  
to maximize your runtime in the event of AC power failure.  
• Lost or poor reception which can be attributed to any of the following:  
a) Improper antenna setup. To ensure you get the best available reception extend the built-in antenna and adjust its  
direction to provide maximum reception.  
b) Improper tuner setup. To ensure you are always tuned in to receive the NOAA alerts check the National Weather  
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  
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.  
• 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  
3
 
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.  
• 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.  
• Check unit periodically for wear and tear. Take to a qualified technician for replacement of worn or defective parts  
immediately.  
• Read This Instruction Manual Before Using This Unit.
