CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR
THE WEATHERADIO
You can set your Weatheradio on a flat surface
(such as a shelf or counter top).
For the best reception, place your Weatheradio
where:
• it can receive alert signals (see “When a Test or
Demo Alert Occurs” on Page 26)
• you can hear its alert tone (see “Setting the
Alert Volume” on Page 24)
Once you determine a location that meets these two
conditions, leave the Weatheradio there for the best
protection.
Note: Make sure the Weatheradio is away from ob-
structions such as metal cabinets or bookshelves.
(Higher frequencies are noticeably affected by ob-
structions.) Do not place the Weatheradio near any
metal surface such as a refrigerator, a metal door or
wall, or a water pipe hidden behind a wall. This
greatly reduces the Weatheradio’s ability to receive
signals.
