In this tutorial, you will be shown how to manually test the weatheradio's alert tone. To make sure your weatheradio will sound the alert tone when it receives an emergency signal, always keep the built-in antenna fully extended. Testing the alert tone only ensures that the weatheradio's alert tone can be heard. It does not test the weatheradio's receiver or guarantee you will receive an emergency alert. If the weatheradio does not sound an alert tone, it is either not receiving the broadcast or its batteries are weak. Even if you can hear the voice transmission clearly and the alert tone sounds when you test it, the received signal may not be strong enough for an emergency alert broadcast to trigger your weatheradio's alert tone. If you are in a fringe area, your weatheradio might also be triggered by a broadcast when it is placed in one area but not be triggered if you place it somewhere else (even close by).
