To operate the radio using solar energy collected by the solar panel, set the Power Selector Switch on the front of the radio to DYN, then tilt the solar panel towards the sunlight. To charge the internal NI-MH batteries using the solar panel, turn the Power Selector Switch to the OFF position and tilt the solar panel so that it is facing direct sunlight.
• AAA Batteries – For added convenience, you can power the unit using 3 AAA batteries (not included). To use this method, open the battery compartment on the back of the unit and insert 3 AAA batteries. Make sure they are inserted in the proper direction. To operating the radio using the AAA batteries, set the Power Selector Switch to BATT.
• AC Power – To power the Voyager Trek Emergency Radio using the optional AC adapter; simply plug the adapter into any standard electrical outlet. Then, insert the other end into of the AC adapter into the Mini USB Port (labeled 5v IN), on the front of the unit behind the rubber flap. The AC Adapter also recharges the internal NI-MH batteries. For optimal performance, an initial charge of 8 hours is recommended.

Information About NOAA All Hazard Weather Radio

NOAA Weather Radio (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is a service provided by the United States Department of Commerce.

NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio (NWR) is a national network of transmitters that broadcast continuous weather information directly from National Weather Service Offices in your area. NWR broadcasts official Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Normal weather messages repeat every 5 minutes and are updated about every 2-3 hours (more frequently if conditions are developing). Regular broadcasts are tailored to weather information needs of people within the service area of the transmitter. For example, stations in coastal areas may receive information of interest to mariners. Other information, such as climate data and hydrological forecasts, may also be broadcast.

NWR works with the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) Emergency Alert System making it your single source for "All Hazard", comprehensive weather and emergency information. In conjunction with Local, State, and Federal public officials and Emergency Managers, NWR also broadcasts warnings, alerts, and post-event information for all types of hazards – including earthquakes, wild fires, flash floods, thunderstorms, tornadoes, winter storms, tsunamis, avalanches, chemical releases, oil spills, and public safety alerts (such as AMBER alerts or 911 Telephone outages).
