Battery Backup

Battery backup capability allows the WX500 to operate for a limited time

when AC power is not available. During AC power loss, all radio features

are available, but turning the Emergency/Weather Radio OFF will

conserve the battery. Remove the battery if the WX500 will not be

plugged in for an extended period of time. Without AC or Battery Backup

power, the Clock time will be lost, but all other programmed information

will be kept.

WX500 will sound a Low Battery tone at the time that a low battery

condition is detected. After the tone, the Low Battery Icon will turn

ON to indicate that the Backup Battery needs replacement.
