7.5.1
AM/FM Radio Tuning
When the radio is turned on, press the
TUN
button to increase the frequency and press the
TUN
button to decrease the frequency.
To auto scan, press and hold the
TUN
(
or
) key for at least one second and the radio will
automatically tune to next radio station with sufficient reception.
7.5.2
Weather Band Tuning
There are seven distinct weather channels. The frequencies are 162.400 MHz, 162.425 MHz, 162.450
MHz, 162.475 MHz, 162.500 MHz, 162.525 MHz and 162.550 MHz.
For a complete list of weather radio broadcasting stations, please visit the National Weather Service
website:
www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm
Our recommendation is to tune to the station with the best reception using the
TUN
button. You
will hear the “voice of the National Weather Service”, and automated voice that provides forecast
information, weather statements, watches and warnings.
7.5.3
Weather Alert Mode
You can silence the radio and enter the weather alert mode. The radio will remain in standby mode
until there is a weather statement, watch or warning. To activate the Weather Alert Mode, tune to your
local station as defined in the previous section.
Press the
MODE
button until the
WB
symbol begins flashing. The WB symbol will continue to flash
until there is a weather statement, watch or warning. In the event of an alert, the alert light will flash
and the radio will sound (with the voice of the National Weather Service). To disable the alert light,
press any key. To disable the alert light but continue in alert mode, press and hold the
MODE
button
to two seconds.
To verify you have reception in your area, the National Weather Service (NWS) normally run tests
each Wednesday between 10 a.m. and noon local time. Tests may occur at other days and times when
there is a threat of severe weather in the listening area or for other reasons.
When a weather alert occurs, the radio will sound and the weather alert light will flash on the front of
the unit. Press the power button
to disable the weather alert.
NOTE:
If battery power is low, the unit will exit the weather alert mode and enter the time display
mode.

Cell Phone and mp3/mp4 Operation
Because cell phone batteries vary in their current ratings, we cannot specify charging rates or usage
time. 10 to 15 minutes of cranking may result in 1 or more minute of talk-time, but your results may
vary.
NOTE:
Charging a cell phone through the Phone Charger Jack is intended for emergency purpose
only. It is not intended for recharging fully a discharged cell phone battery. Cell phone battery
capacity significantly exceeds the battery capacity of the WR-334-U. Therefore, a fully charged
WR-334-U will only partially charge a cell phone or mp3/mp4 device. After the battery stops charging
