Suggestion(s)
Make sure the telescoping
antenna is fully extended. See
"Using the Built-In Antenna" on
Page 22.
If you connected an external
antenna, make sure that it is
connected properly and the tele-
scoping antenna is lowered. See
"Using the Built-In Antenna" on
Page 22.
Make sure the Weatheradio is
set to the NOAA channel that is
being broadcast in your area.
See "Programming the Weath-
eradio" on Page 26.
The Weatheradio constantly
monitors the channel you set it
to, even while it is sounding a
continuous alert. Each time the
Weatheradio receives a signal
on that channel, it pauses very
briefly to compare that signal
against those stored in its mem-
ory. If the Weatheradio pauses
frequently (depending on how
often it receives a signal), it
might make the Weatheradio's
continuous alert tone sound
intermittent. This is not a mal-
function.
