Pocket Weatheradio with Alert (120-0245) Batteries Faxback Doc. # 33754 INSTALLING BATTERIES Your Pocket Weatheradio uses three AA batteries for power. For the best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-552. Follow these steps to install the batteries. 1. Remove the battery compartment cover by sliding it off in the direction of the arrow. 2. Install the 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. Always remove old or weak batteries. 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" on Faxback Doc. # 7989), and replace the batteries if the tone does not sound. Do not use rechargeable batteries in your Weatheradio. (BR/EB 6/28/96)
