a wide variety of antennas.
To connect an external antenna,
connect one end of the adapter cable to
the Weatheradio

OCATION
You can set your Weatheradio
®
on any
flat surface. For the best reception,
place your Weatheradio
®
where:
• it can receive alert signals.
• you can hear the alert tone.
Make sure the Weatheradio
®
is away
from obstructions such as metal
cabinets or bookshelves. Higher
frequencies are noticeably affected by
obstructions. 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 reduces the Weatheradio
®
’s
ability to receive signals.
