TELESCOPING ANTENNA: 
For AM/FM and weather band radio, fully extend the telescoping 
antenna to receive a steady strong signal. Place the radio near a 
window if you are indoors for best reception. 
 
WEATHER BAND RADIO:  
The IC Chip supports weather band reception from 162.4 to 162.55 
MHz. The highly integrated IC Chip meets NOAA specification, 
receives all seven NOAA specified frequencies, implements 
narrowband FM de-emphasis, and supports 1050 Hz alert tone 
detection. In addition, the IC Chip provides advanced features not 
available on conventional radios, such as an AFC and a dynamic 
channel bandwidth filter. In WB mode the radio will continually 
broadcasts weather radio. Fully extend telescoping antenna. 
 
Radio receives 7 weather band (WB) frequencies: 
Channel 1: 162.400MHz 
Channel 5: 162.500MHz 
Channel 2: 162.425MHz 
Channel 6: 162.525MHz 
Channel 3: 162.450MHz 
Channel 7: 162.550MHz 
Channel 4: 162.475MHz 
 
 
STANDBY:  
When in WB hold the MODE button for 2 seconds to enter WB 
Standby. When in Standby the red LED on top of the radio will flash 
slowly (every 5 seconds). 
 
ALERTS:  
 
The radio must be in WB mode to receive alerts automatically. 
 
During an alert: 
 
The top LED light and red LCD backlight will flash quickly 
(every 2 seconds) for 5 minutes. 
 
The volume will increase to level 16 for 5 minutes so you 
can hear the beep alert tone and the broadcast.  Use the 
VOLUME buttons to adjust as needed. 
 
While alert is sounding for 5 minutes, press and release the 
MODE button to place radio back to WB standby.  
 
Radio automatically returns to WB standby after 5 minutes. 
 
AM RADIO: 
The highly integrated IC Chip supports worldwide AM band reception 
from 520 to 1710 kHz using a digital low-IF architecture with a 
minimum number of external components and no manual alignment 
required. This digital low-IF architecture allows for high-precision 
filtering offering excellent selectivity and SNR with minimum variation   
across the AM band.
