the basics
The ALERT OUT feature enables your Hazard Alert Radio to activate
external alerting devices such as pillow shakers, flashers, and other
compatible special needs alerting devices.
Your Hazard Alert Radio provides a switch closure through a transistor
capable of handling up to 200mA, which is adequate for activating
most common alerting devices.
The output signal will change when an alert is received
or expired or manually reset by pressing the “WEATHER
/SNOOZE” button twice. Your RadioShack store carries
audible or visible alert accessories.
