RECEPTION PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
MANY THINGS AFFECT RECEPTION!
RECOMMENDATION
CLOCK AND CALENDAR
The Clock Display Mode is the unit’s default display mode.
When in another display mode it will automatically return
to the Clock-Display after 9 seconds.
Setting the clock and calendar is sequential. Any part
of the setting sequence can be bypassed by pressing
MODE. Once changes are made and the setting mode
has been exited, the day-of-the-week will automatically
be determined. Days of the week are viewable in 3
languages: English, French and Spanish.
HOW TO SET THE TIME AND DATE
You can choose between 12 / 24-hour clock or month /
day, day / month display format.
NOTE At any stage of the setting sequence, if no entry
is made after 9 seconds, the unit will automatically exit
the Clock-Setting mode and return to the Clock Display
Mode.
To set the time:
1. In Clock Display Mode, press and hold MODE for
2 seconds.
2. To change the setting, press or .
3. Press MODE to confirm and move onto the next
setting.
4. The setting sequence is 12 / 24 hour format, hour,
minute, year, month-date format, month, day and
day of the week language (English, French or
Spanish).
NOTE Pressing and holding or will advance digits
in rapid sequence.
Forests, deserts, and hills / mountains tend to greatly
reduce reception. Metal roofs on homes or buildings
may limit reception indoors for transmissions and
alerts. Reception in cities may be reduced due to steel
and concrete, while higher elevations will enhance the
signal. Reception can vary from room to room. Moving
even a few feet can enhance signal reception.
Place the your weather radio
near a window, away from other electronic equipment,
and on an upper level of your house.
