Note:

 With regard to the NOAA Weather Band: You need to identify which 

band receives your local weather band report. When you change locations 
either to another city or state, you may need to choose a different band to 
get the local report in that location.

HINTS FOR BEST RECEPTION:

To insure maximum weather band reception, the Telescopic Antenna 
should be fully extended and rotated to obtain the best possible station 
reception. 

2) RECEIVING AN EMERGENCY WEATHER ALERT

The Weather Alert function allows you to set the weather radio to a standby 
mode that will turn the radio on automatically if there is a severe weather 
emergency in your area. To receive emergency weather alert warnings, 
turn the unit on, tune to the strongest local NOAA weather channel, adjust 
the volume to a level that you will hear when an alert is received. The radio 
remains silent until an “alert” broadcast occurs.
