RECEPTION PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

MANY THINGS AFFECT RECEPTION!

Forests, deserts, and hills / mountains tend to greatly
reduce reception. 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.
RECOMMENDATION Place the your weather radio near
a window, away from other electronic equipment, and
on an upper level of your house.

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.
