7 Channel Weatheradio
(120-0249)                 Special Features           Faxback Doc. # 40785

USING CONTINUOUS BACKLIGHT

Your Weatheradio is preset to turn on its display backlight while you
listen to the weather broadcast, and for about 10 seconds each time you 
press a key.  For extended use in low light situations, you can set the
backlight so it remains on until you turn it off.

To turn the backlight on or off, follow these steps.

1.  Set PROGRAM/OPERATE to PROGRAM.

2.  Within 45 seconds, press YES twice so CONTINUO (continuous) and 
    BACKLIGHT alternately flash on the display, then press YES to turn on
    continuous backlight or NO to turn it off.

    Note:  If you do not press a key for about 45 seconds, the Weatheradio
           automatically exits the programming mode.  Set PROGRAM/OPERATE
           back to OPERATE, then start over at step 1.

3.  Set PROGRAM/OPERATE to OPERATE.

CONNECTING THE WEATHERADIO TO AN EXTERNAL SYSTEM

Your Weatheradio's ALARM OUT jacks let you connect it to an external
module interface (Plug 'n Power or x-10, such as RSU 10037745) using
twin-lead 20-gauge cable (not supplied), then set the interface to
indicate an alert (sound a buzzer or flash a light, for example) on a
connected appliance when the Weatheradio receives a weather emergency
alert broadcast.

Note:  Your local RadioShack store carries a wide selection of cable and
       audible or visible alert accessories you can use with the
       recommended external module interface.

To connect your Weatheradio to an external system, connect the
Weatheradio's positive (+) and negative (-) ALARM OUT quick-connect
terminals to the corresponding (+ and - ) terminals on the external
system.

When the Weatheradio's alert function is turned on and it receives an NWS
alert broadcast, the Weatheradio sends 7.5 VDC signals to the connected
module interface, and an alert sounds on both the Weatheradio and the
connected system.

Note:  For instructions on operating the external module interface, see
       the owner's manual provided with that system.
