POWER SOURCES
CONNECTING AC POWER
Plug the Weatheradio’s power cord into a standard AC
outlet.
Caution: To prevent electric shock, the plug’s blades are
polarized and fit only one way. If the plug will not fit easi-
ly, turn it over and try again. Do not force it.
INSTALLING A BACKUP BATTERY
The radio automatically switches to battery power if AC
power fails. Follow these steps to install a 9-volt battery
(not supplied), such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-553.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing
the tab in the direction of the arrow and lifting up the
cover.
2. Snap the battery connector onto the battery contacts.
3. Place the battery in the compartment and replace the
compartment cover.
