EMERGENCY POWER
Remove the battery cover. Turn the unit over. Remove the cover by pushing the
battery door in the direction of the arrow and lifting the battery cover away from the
radio. Install a 9-volt Alkaline battery (Eveready 522 or equivalent, not supplied).
Observe the battery polarity (+ and -). Replace the battery cover. (Power adapters will
not charge the battery.)
INITIAL SETUP
Set the controls and switches as follows:
VOLUME/POWER – Advance the control about half way .
WX-AM-FM SELECTOR – to FM
WX 1 - - - WX7 SWITCH - to (1) 162.550
ALERT SWITCH - to LED & ALARM
Now, fully extend the telescopic antenna. Next, remove the AC Wall Adapter from
the package. Plug the wall adapter into a 110-115 Volt AC (standard house current)
outlet. Plug the other end into the "DC-12V' jack of your WR-10
AM/FM OPERATION
From the above steps, we are set to listen to FM stations. If you desire to listen to
AM stations, set the WX--AM--FM selector switch to the AM position now.
1. Advance the POWER/VOLUME ON/OFF switch toward the top of the radio.
Continue rotating it about one half of the way.
2. Slide the TUNING button to receive the desired station.
3. Readjust the volume to desired listening levels.
4. Position the telescopic antenna for best FM reception. On AM, the antenna is
built into the cabinet. Rotating the cabinet itself can improve AM signal
reception.
You will notice the "ALERT" light comes on when power is supplied. Your WR-10 is
listening for EMERGENCY signals from the Weather Service. We have not adjusted
the weather frequency for your local area. Look up your city or a major city near you in
the supplied Weather Service directory and set the switch on the bottom of your unit to
the frequency listed. To test for weather signals, simply press the WEATHER bar on the
top of your 74-105XL. This will switch the WR-10 from AM or FM to receive the Weather
broadcast. To return to AM or FM reception, press the "ALERT" button.
