TELESCOPING ANTENNA:

For AM/FM and weather band radio, fully extend the telescoping antenna to receive a steady strong signal. Place the radio near a window if you are indoors for best reception.

WEATHER BAND RADIO:

The IC Chip supports weather band reception from 162.4 to 162.55 MHz. The highly integrated IC Chip meets NOAA specification, receives all seven NOAA specified frequencies, implements narrowband FM de-emphasis, and supports 1050 Hz alert tone detection. In addition, the IC Chip provides advanced features not available on conventional radios, such as an AFC and a dynamic channel bandwidth filter. In WB mode the radio will continually broadcasts weather radio. Fully extend telescoping antenna.

Radio receives 7 weather band (WB) frequencies:

Channel 1: 162.400MHz	Channel 5: 162.500MHz
Channel 2: 162.425MHz	Channel 6: 162.525MHz
Channel 3: 162.450MHz	Channel 7: 162.550MHz
Channel 4: 162.475MHz

STANDBY:

When in WB hold the MODE button for 2 seconds to enter WB Standby. When in Standby the red LED on top of the radio will flash slowly (every 5 seconds).

ALERTS:

∙The radio must be in WB mode to receive alerts automatically.

∙During an alert:

∙The top LED light and red LCD backlight will flash quickly (every 2 seconds) for 5 minutes.

∙The volume will increase to level 16 for 5 minutes so you can hear the beep alert tone and the broadcast. Use the VOLUME buttons to adjust as needed.

∙While alert is sounding for 5 minutes, press and release the MODE button to place radio back to WB standby.

∙Radio automatically returns to WB standby after 5 minutes.

AM RADIO:

The highly integrated IC Chip supports worldwide AM band reception from 520 to 1710 kHz using a digital low-IF architecture with a minimum number of external components and no manual alignment required. This digital low-IF architecture allows for high-precision filtering offering excellent selectivity and SNR with minimum variation across the AM band.
