Helpful Tips:
1. To conserve battery power, it is recommended to always use the adapter to power the unit while the
weather radio is on. The radio can still operate with backup batteries alone during power outages.
2. A low frequency 120V, 5 pin mini USB adaptor is recommended. Using a higher frequency power
adaptor will influence radio reception.
3. Retract the antenna when not in use to help prevent damage.
Care and Precautions:
1. The radio is weather-resistant but not waterproof. Do not immerse the radio in water. Keep moisture
from getting inside the adaptor jack. If you spill liquid on the radio, dry immediately with a soft, lint-free
cloth.
2. Do not clean the radio with abrasive or corrosive materials. This may scratch plastic parts and corrode
electronic circuits.
3. Do not subject the radio to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or humidity. This may result in
malfunction, shorter electronic life span, damaged battery or distorted parts. Avoid rough treatment. Do
not drop or kick it. Treat it with care to ensure the best performance.
4. Do not tamper with the radio’s internal components. Doing so will invalidate the warranty on this
product and may cause damage. Other than replacing the batteries, the radio contains no user-
serviceable parts.
5. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix Alkaline, carbon-zinc (standard) or Nickel-Cadmium
(rechargeable) batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. Remove the
batteries if the radio will not be used for a long period of time.
6. Always read the instruction manual before operating this product.
