SETUP
Install or Replace Batteries
AcuRite recommends high quality alkaline or lithium batteries for the
best product performance. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not
recommended.
Batteries provide backup power in the event of a power outage. They
provide portable power so you can take the radio with you for outdoor
activities, such as ball games, hiking, skiing, boating, hunting, fishing, etc.
You can also quickly take your radio with you to a safe location during an
emergency.
The power dock is the main
power source for this weather
radio. The radio is always “listening”
for alerts, even when the audio
speaker is silenced. This funtion
requires substantial power and, as
a result, the weather radio will last
approximately 3 days on battery
power alone.
Install Batteries
1. Release clip and slide off the clip on
the back of the radio.
2. Slide off battery compartment cover.
3. Insert 3 x AA batteries into the
battery compartment. Follow the
polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery
compartment.
4. Replace the battery cover.
After installing batteries, the weather
report audio will automatically turn on.
To silence, press the “LISTEN” button.
FIRST, RELEASE CLIP
THEN, SLIDE OFF
