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.
