7 Channel Weatheradio

Your RadioShack 7 Channel Weatheradio with Tone Alert and
Talking Clock is designed to receive National Weather Service
broadcasts and NOAA weather alert signals, which provide infor-
mation about weather conditions and forecasts 24 hours a day.
Your Weatheradio receives these transmissions from up to 40
miles away and sounds an alert tone when a weather station
broadcasts a special trigger alert signal, indicating a weather
emergency.

Seven Weather Frequencies — let you choose the frequency
that provides the best reception.

Alert Mode — sounds an alert tone when an emergency weather
alert is detected.

Battery-Saving Circuit — prolongs battery life.
