Weatheradio Alert
(120-0140)                 Features                   Faxback Doc. # 47648

Your REALISTIC WEATHERADIO ALERT is specially designed to receive weather
reports broadcast 24 hours a day by the National Weather Service.  Special
stations provide most of the United States with continuous news of weather
conditions and forecasts; your Weatheradio Alert receives their
transmissions from up to 50 miles away!  These stations operate at 162.55,
162.475, or 162.40 MHz.

In addition to reception of weather information, this radio incorporates
a special alarm circuit that sounds when an emergency weather situation
exists.  The local National Weather Service transmission broadcasts a
special signal that triggers this circuit automatically.

The built-in siren alarm operates at full power regardless of the volume
control setting and is ready to be triggered anytime the red standby LED
is lit.  An optional lock-on for the siren alarm is available to provide
a continuous alarm for maximum warning.  The red standby LED flashes in
addition to the siren after the alarm is broadcast.

A convenient alarm TEST button lets you check for proper operation of the
siren alarm.  Your Weatheradio Alert comes with both line cord and
telescoping rod antennas for best reception.

In case of AC power failure, the unit switches automatically to the
internal battery thus assuring you of complete weather alert protection
(especially during those critical power-out situations).

Your Weatheradio Alert is crystal-controlled for tuning accuracy (crystal
not replaceable).
