VI. POWERING THE WEATHER..., Continued
Installing the Backup Battery, Continued
NOTE:
Do NOT use a rechargeable-type battery in your
weather monitor. Use standard alkaline batteries only.
NOTE:
If the backup battery becomes weak, your
weather monitor might not sound a tone when an
emergency or test alert is broadcast. Check the monitor's
reception periodically, and replace the battery as
needed.
CAUTION:
Dispose of an old or weak battery promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury it. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can cause personal injury and/or damage
to the monitor unit.
When "REPLACE BATTERY" appears on the radio
display or the weather monitor stops operating (while
under battery-only power), replace the battery with a
fresh one. "REPLACE BATTERY" will also appear on the
radio display if no backup battery is installed and the
weather monitor is connected to AC power and then
turned on.
This is to remind you that the battery
backup capability will not work in times of AC power
outages without a battery installed!
Connecting the Weather Monitor to AC Power
1. Place the monitor's power on / off switch into the
"OFF" position by sliding it to the right.
