Weatheradio Alert 
(120-0246) Batteries Faxback Doc. # 19120 
 
Your radio uses three AA batteries for power. We recommend alkaline 
batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-552. Follow these steps to 
install the batteries. 
 
NOTE: Do not use rechargeable batteries in your Weatheradio. 
 
1. Remove the battery compartment cover by sliding if off in the 
 direction of the arrow. 
 
2. Install three AA batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols 
 (+ and -) marked inside the compartment. 
 
3. Replace the cover. 
 
NOTES: If reception becomes weak or the sound becomes distorted, replace 
 the batteries. 
 
 Never leave weak or dead batteries in the radio. They can leak 
 chemicals that can damage the radio. 
 
 If you do not plan to use your radio for several weeks, remove the 
 batteries. 
 
 If your radio's batteries become weak, your radio might not sound a 
 tone when an emergency or test alert is broadcast. Test your 
 radio's reception periodically (see "Testing Alert Reception"), and 
 replace the batteries if the tone does not sound.
