Reviewing Alerts
The HH54 Portable Emergency Weather Alert Radio can
store up to 10 different Weather/Hazard alerts (with

review all alerts still in effect by pressing the UP arrow to
scroll through the weather radio's active alert memory.
A double beep indicates the end of the list."NO MESSA-
GE" will be displayed if no alerts are active.Also, when
the radio receives an alert the corresponding LED will be
lit- RED= Warning, Orange= Watch and Yellow= Advisory.

on the display. Choose between BLT NORM or BLT ON.
With BLT NORM the backlight turns on whenever any
button is pushed and will turn off after 5 seconds.With
BLT ON, the backlight comes on and will stay on conti-
nuously until you turn it off manually through the menu.

25-50 miles depending on the location and conditions
of weather, terrain, etc...Also, some weather stations
operate at much higher power levels than others and
have their transmitting towers on the top of high
buildings or hills. If reception in your area is not good,
try different locations to find a place of good
reception.
