Turning Audible Alerts On or Off
• To enable audible alerts, slide ALERT ON/OFF to ON.
• To disable audible alerts, slide
ALERT ON/OFF to OFF.
n
Notes:
• You must slide ALERT ON/OFF to OFF while your radio is powered on,
or the change will not take effect. This prevents accidentally switching off
alerts.
• Even if you’ve turned off audible alerts, the backlight will still light up and
the event message will scroll on the display until the effective time expires.
Connecting an External Alert
Connect a compatible external alerting device such as a pillow shaker or a
flasher to the ALERT OUT jack. The external device can be up to 200mA with a
3.5mm phono plug (not supplied).
Your radio passes alerts to the external device. The alert turns off automatically
when the alert period ends or is manually reset by pressing SNOOZE.
Restoring Factory Default Settings
1. Unplug the AC adapter and remove the backup batteries.
2. While holding down MENU, plug the AC adapter into an outlet. Keep
holding MENU until “ Reset to default Completed ” is shown on the
display.
. Unplug and then plug in the AC adapter again and install batteries.
