QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS:
After reading the “Features” & “Controls” sections in this
manual set up your MIDLAND Weather Radio as follows:
1. BATTERIES. This Weather Radio operates on AC power
or 4 AA battery backup. (Batteries are not included.) It is
recommended that you install emergency backup batteries: (4)
type AA alkaline batteries (not supplied). First, be sure the unit is
disconnected from the AC power adapter. Then, remove the
battery compartment cover on the underside of the unit by
pressing the battery compartment door latch in the direction of the
arrow and lifting. Observe the battery polarity indicators (+ and -
) as you install the batteries. Replace the battery compartment
cover. (Rechargeable batteries are not recommended because the
WR-300 will not charge the batteries.)
2. AC POWER ADAPTER. Plug the AC Power Adapter into
a 110-115 Volt AC power outlet (standard house current). Plug
AC Power Adapter into DC jack on back of the Weather Radio.
3. ANTENNA. Position telescoping antenna vertical and
extend to its full length above the Weather Radio. In most cases,
this antenna will provide good reception. In some remote areas
an external antenna may be used to improve weak reception.
