Testing the Alert Tone
1. Set
ALERT TONE
to
ON
.
2. Set
ALERT TEST

ON
. While the
tone sounds, walk away from the
radio to determine how far away you
can hear the tone.
3. To stop the alert sound, set

Important Notes:
• Due to the broadcast characteristics
of weather transmission, you might
notice a reduction in the volume
level of your clock radio when you
tune a weather frequency. If neces-
sary, adjust the volume to a comfort-
able listening level.
• To make sure your clock radio will
sound the alert tone when it
receives an emergency signal,
always keep the telescoping
antenna fully extended.
• Testing the alert tone only ensures
that the clock radio’s alert tone can
be heard. It does not test the clock
radio's receiver or guarantee you
will receive an emergency alert.
• An emergency alert broadcast might
not trigger your clock radio’s alert
tone, even if it receives voice trans-
missions clearly or if the alert tone
sounds when you manually test it.
Also, if you are in a fringe area, your
clock radio might be triggered by a
broadcast when it is placed in one
area, but not be triggered if you
place it somewhere else (even close
by).
