Preparation

metal door or wall, or a water pipe

hidden behind a wall.

Choose a location for the remote

sensor that is within 20–30 yards of

the Weatheradio, either indoors or

outdoors. The construction of your

home or office might affect the

transmission range between the

Weatheradio and the remote sensor.

If you have a choice of several

locations, try each to see which

provides the best performance.

Note:

The remote sensor is resistant

to water damage. However, it is not

waterproof and should not be

submerged in water or put directly in

front of shower spray.

Each time you install batteries in the

remote sensor, it sends data and its

indicator flashes once so you can

check its transmission range. See

“Setting the Remote Channel” on

Page 16.

Mounting the Remote

Sensor

You can mount the remote sensor on

a wall using two

inch (3 mm)

screws (not supplied) with heads that

fit into the keyhole slots on the back

of the supplied mounting bracket.

1. Drill two holes 1

/

inches apart.

Thread a screw into each hole

and let the heads extend

about

1

/

4

inch from the

mounting surface.

2. Align the keyhole slots on the

mounting bracket with the screws

and slide the bracket downward

to secure it.

3. Slide the remote sensor into the

mounting bracket.

PROGRAMMING THE

WEATHERADIO

While programming your

Weatheradio, you can select a

weather frequency, turn the Missed

Alert Reminder on or off, and specify

the geographical areas for which you

receive alerts.

Your Weatheradio is pre-

programmed with the seven NOAA

broadcast frequencies (channels 1–

7). Depending on your location, you

might need to select a different

channel.

Your Weatheradio is preset to receive

any weather alert broadcast within its

reception range (about a 50 mile

radius in most locations). The first

time you use your Weatheradio, it

automatically scans the strongest

channel and receives all SAME alert

signals broadcast within a 50 mile

radius of its location.

Notes:

• The Weatheradio does not

receive alert signals while it is

being programmed.
