NTENNA
To improve reception in remote areas,
you can connect an external antenna
using an adapter cable with a phono
plug. Your local RadioShack store sells
a wide variety of antennas.
To connect an external antenna,
connect one end of the adapter cable to
the Weatheradio’s
EXT ANT
jack.
Connect the other end of the cable to
the antenna.

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.
