Built-in Dynamo Hand-Crank recharges the Rechargeable Battery Pack for  
Radio, LED Light and Cell Phone Charging  
NWR broadcasts warnings and post-event information for all types of  
hazards: weather (e.g., tornadoes, floods), natural (e.g., earthquakes,  
forest fires and volcanic activity), technological (e.g., chemical releases, oil  
spills, nuclear power plant emergencies, etc.), and national emergencies  
(e.g., terrorist attacks). Working with other Federal agencies and the  
Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) Emergency Alert System  
(EAS), NWR is an all-hazards radio network, making it the most  
comprehensive weather and emergency information available to the public.  
• AC Charging Cradle and AC Power Adapter to charge the Rechargeable  
Battery Pack and power the unit  
• Earphone Jack for private listening (earphone/ headphones not supplied)  
Co n tro l a n d Fu n ctio n Gu id e  
S.A.M.E. technology, a new feature in the NOAA Weather Radio system,  
allows listeners to pre-select the NWS Alerts that they want to receive, based  
on the county where they live. Weather radios equipped with S.A.M.E.  
technology (such as this VEC4 3 8 ) provide immediate information about life-  
threatening situations.
