dio’s alert function. Be sure you choose the proper lo-
cation for the Weatheradio and regularly check the
Weatheradio to be sure it is operating properly.
Manually Testing the Alert Tone
Notes:
• To make sure your Weatheradio sounds the alert
tone when it receives an emergency signal,
always keep the built-in antenna fully extended.
• Testing the alert tone only ensures that the
Weatheradio’s alert tone can be heard. It does
not test the Weatheradio's receiver or guarantee
you will receive an emergency alert.
• If the Weatheradio does not sound an alert tone,
it is either out of range of the broadcast or its bat-
teries are weak.
• An emergency alert broadcast might not trigger
your Weatheradio’s alert tone, even if it receives
voice transmissions clearly or if the alert tone
sounds when you manually test it. If you are in a
fringe area, your Weatheradio might also be trig-
gered by a broadcast when it is placed in one
area, but not be triggered if you place it some-
where else (even close by).
