Power Off: Move the slide switch on the right side of the unit to the
“OFF” position. The radio will completely turn off and will not
be in alert standby mode. For long term storage put the radio
in the “OFF” position with the batteries removed.
Alert Mode: The HH50B weather radio has an innovative,
automatic alert system. During an emergency, NWS
forecasters will send out a special tone to activate weather
radios in the listening area; the HH50B radio is automatically
activated and sounds a loud tone for 15 seconds then
switches to the NWS broadcast. Emergency weather bulletins
include alerts for: tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, ice/snow
storms, and other severe weather. Other emergencies
might include: Amber alerts, hazardous explosions, wildfires,
chemical spills, tsunamis, and other civil emergencies.
To put the radio into alert mode - move the slide switch on
the right side of the unit to the “ALERT” position.
Volume Adjusting: To adjust the listening volume of the radio, put
the radio into broadcast mode by moving the slide switch
to the “ON” position. Then, using the up and down buttons,
adjust to the desired listening level.
Test Button: To ensure the alert function of the radio is working,
move the slide switch to the “ALERT” position. Then, press
and hold the TEST button for 3 seconds. You will hear the
alert tone. Press the TEST button again to silence the tone.
Weather Channel Rescan: While the radio is in the “ON” position,
press the TEST button for 1 second. The radio will rescan and
lock onto the strongest broadcast signal.
