To connect an external antenna to the Weatheradio, connect one end of the adapter cable to EXT ANT on the back of the Weatheradio, then connect the other end to the antenna.

MOUNTING THE WEATHERADIO

You can place your Weatheradio on a flat surface, such as a desk, shelf, or table, or mount it on a wall. To mount the Weatheradio on a wall, you need to attach the supplied mounting bracket to it. You also need two screws (not supplied) that fit the keyhole slots on the back of the mounting bracket. For the best reception, place your Weatheradio where it can receive alert signals and you hear its alert tone.

Follow these steps to mount the Weatheradio on a wall.

1.Align the slots on the bottom of the Weatheradio with the hooks on the mounting bracket, then gently push the Weatheradio down onto the bracket to secure it.

2.Mark the mounting screw locations 11/2 inches (38 mm) apart, one above the other.

3.Drill a hole at each marked location, then thread a screw into each hole until the screw’s head extends about 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) from the wall.

4.Align the keyhole slots on the back of the mounting bracket with the screw heads in the wall.

5.To secure the Weatheradio, slide it down until it stops.
