The clock radio displays 0:59. — While you hold SLEEP, press HOUR once. The time increases to 1 hour, 59 minutes. — While you continue to hold SLEEP, press MINUTE. The minutes decrease by 1 each time you press MINUTE. Hold MINUTE to rapidly decrease the play time. To turn off the radio before it automatically turns off, press SNOOZE. Illust. 9 12-1610.fm Page 10 Friday, July 9, 1999 10:10 AM RECEIVING WEATHER BROADCASTS WEATHER RADIO OPERATION Follow these steps to receive National Weather Service broadcasts. 1. To turn on the radio, set FUNCTION to ON. Illust. 2. Set FM/AM/WX/ALERT to WX. Illust. 3. Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level. 4. Set CHANNEL to the channel (1–7) that produces the clearest signal. Illust. 10 5. Set WX ANTENNA to LINE. Illust. Note: If the signal is broken or noisy, set WX ANTENNA to ROD. Then extend the telescoping antenna to its full length. If reception is still not clear, try placing the radio near an outside wall or window. 6. To turn off the radio, set FUNCTION to OFF. USING THE ALERT TONE You can set the radio to alert you only when it detects a weather emergency broadcast so you do not have to continuously listen to the National Weather Service broadcasts. 1. Set FUNCTION to ON and FM/AM/ WX/ALERT to ALERT to set the radio to the alert mode. The ALERT indicator lights, and the receiver is silent. Illust. 12-1610.fm Page 11 Friday, July 9, 1999 10:10 AM 2. Set ALERT LOCK as follows: Illust. • ON — When the radio receives an alert signal, the siren sounds continuously until you change the FM/AM/WX/ALERT or ALERT LOCK setting. • OFF — When the radio receives an alert signal, the siren sounds only during the 10-second alert signal. 3. To silence the siren, set FM/AM/ WX/ALERT to WX. You hear the current weather broadcast. Notes: • If severe weather threatens, do not wait for an alert tone; turn on your radio and monitor the latest weather information. •With ALERT LOCK set to OFF, the alert sounds for 10 seconds. If you set the switch to WX immediately after the siren starts to sound, you hear the tone for a short period, and then the emergency information. • The radio sounds the alert siren at full power, regardless of the radio’s volume setting. TESTING ALERT OPERATION For your radio to be effective, you must place the radio: • Where it can receive an emergency alert signal (see “Testing Alert Reception”) • Where you can hear its alert tone (see “Using the ALERT TEST Button”) Once you determine a location that meets these two conditions, leave the radio there for the best protection. Testing Alert Reception The fact that you get clear voice reception or that the tone sounds when you set ALERT TEST to ON (see “Using the ALERT TEST Button”) does not guarantee that an emergency alert signal will trigger your radio’s alert tone. Also, if you are in a fringe area, an emergency alert signal might trigger your radio while it is in one place, but not in another place (even close by). To test for actual reception, your radio must receive a test or emergency alert signal. The National Weather Service (NWS) broadcasts a test alert every week on Wednesday between 11 AM and 12 Noon. 11 12-1610.fm Page 12 Friday, July 9, 1999 10:10 AM To find out the specific test schedule in your area, contact your local National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or National Weather Service office. These offices are usually listed in the telephone book under “US Government.” To verify that your radio receives the test alert properly, set ALERT LOCK to ON during the time when the test tone is broadcast in your local area. If the test alert signal does not trigger your radio’s tone, you are either out of range of the signal or AC power is disconnected and your radio’s backup battery is weak. Note: If you take the radio with you to use when you travel, you cannot be sure that an emergency alert signal will trigger the radio in its new location, unless you test it during the test alert time in the new area. 12 Using the ALERT TEST Button The ALERT TEST button lets you hear the alert tone the radio produces but does not test the radio’s receiver or indicate that your radio will receive an emergency alert. 1. Set FUNCTION to ON and set FM/ AM/WX/ALERT to ALERT. 2. Set ALERT TEST to ON. While the tone sounds, walk away from the radio to determine how far away from it you can get and still hear the tone. Illust. Notes: •If ALERT LOCK is set to ON, the tone sounds until you set FM/ AM/WX/ALERT to WX, AM, or FM. •If ALERT LOCK is set to OFF, the tone sounds only while ALERT TEST is set to ON. 3. To stop the alert sound, set ALERT TEST to OFF. 12-1610.fm Page 13 Friday, July 9, 1999 10:10 AM CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Optimus CR-307 AM/FM·Weather Clock Radio is an example of superior design and craftsmanship.
