Pocket Weatheradio

with Tone and Vibrating Alert

Your RadioShack Pocket Weatheradio is designed to

receive National Weather Service (NWS) broadcasts,

which provide information about weather conditions and

forecasts 24 hours a day.

Your Weatheradio searches for the strongest signal

among the 7 weather channels (WX) and tunes to the

strongest channel. The Weatheradio receives these

transmissions from up to 40 miles away.

The Weatheradio sounds an alarm or vibrates when a

weather station broadcasts a special alert signal indicat-

ing a weather emergency, keeping you up to date on

your local weather situation.

Next Button — lets you choose the channel and check

the alert tone or vibrator.

Battery-Saving Circuit — minimizes power consump-

tion in the alert mode.
