SNOOZE SETTING
Once the alarm activates, press the SNOOZE button to temporarily
deactivate it and sleep a little longer. It will reactivate automatically after
5 minutes. This can be repeated up to 5 times. When SNOOZE is on,
a box with SNZ appears next to the bell in the display.
AM/FM BROADCAST RECEPTION
Turn on the radio. Press the AM/FM button, AM or FM will appear on
the top left of the display with the frequency to the right of it, in KHz for
AM and in MHz for FM. Press the buttons quickly to tune individual
frequencies, hold to tune automatically to the next frequency. Pull up
the telescopic antenna to hear FM frequencies.
The AM ferrite bar antenna is built-in to the radio, so no telescopic
antenna is needed for AM reception.
• FM tuning range: 87.5 to 108 MHz.
• AM tuning range: 520 to 1710 KHz.
RECEPTION OF NOAA WEATHER FREQUENCIES
To hear your local weather station, pull up the antenna, turn on the radio
and press the WB button at the top of the radio. Turn up the volume and
press the buttons to go through all 7 weather channels. WB and CH
appear at the top of the display, with 1-7 next to CH. You’ll probably only
hear one channel, but if you hear a weather broadcast on more than one,
select the strongest. The strongest one will usually be your local weather
station. Below are the frequencies that correspond to the radio’s channels:
RECEIVING WEATHER ALERTS
Tune to your local NOAA Weather frequency at a volume you wish to
hear. Press the ALERT/WB button at the top of the radio. The ALERT light
shines in the upper left corner of the radio. The audio will disappear,
but the radio is still on, monitoring the NOAA Weather station until an
alert appears. When it appears, you are alerted by a SIREN or a VOICE.
Immediately press the WB button to hear the alert.
