This document describes a multi-functional weather radio, model 810-106, designed for receiving weather alerts, AM/FM radio, and providing a white LED light. It offers multiple power options, including a rechargeable battery, solar charging, hand-crank charging, and USB charging, making it a versatile device for various situations.
The primary function of this device is to serve as a weather radio, capable of receiving all seven NOAA specified weather band (WB) frequencies (162.4 to 162.55 MHz). It is equipped with an integrated IC chip that supports narrowband FM de-emphasis and 1050 Hz alert tone detection, ensuring reliable reception of weather alerts. In WB mode, the radio continuously broadcasts weather information. A crucial feature is the "Weather Band Standby" mode, which silences the radio until an active alert sounds. When an alarm signal is received in standby mode, the backlight automatically flashes red for 60 seconds, drawing attention to the alert. During an active alert, if the radio is in WB mode, it automatically receives alarm signals, the backlight changes from blue to red, and the volume increases to level 16 for five minutes to ensure the beep alert tone and broadcast are heard. After five minutes, the radio automatically returns to WB standby.
Beyond weather alerts, the device also functions as a standard AM/FM radio. It supports worldwide AM band reception from 520 to 1710 kHz and FM broadcast band reception from 64 to 108 MHz. The integrated IC chip in both AM and FM modes utilizes a digital low-IF architecture, which enhances selectivity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for AM and eliminates the need for external components and factory adjustments for FM, providing a clear and stable listening experience.
Another integrated function is a white LED light, which can be turned on and off as needed, providing illumination.
Power and Charging: The radio is powered by a rechargeable LIR123/600MAH battery, which is included. The device offers three ways to charge this battery:
When the low battery symbol displays, it's time to charge the radio. It is recommended to turn off the radio before charging. A red LED indicator illuminates during charging, and a green light indicates a full charge (this light will not stay on when not charging).
Antenna: To ensure optimal reception, fully extend and rotate the telescoping antenna. Position it near a window to receive a steady, strong signal and avoid broken or noisy reception.
Resetting the Radio: If the display is blank, first ensure the battery is charged. Then, press the RESET button once. The RESET button is a small pinhole located near the antenna, where the crank handle rests.
