I bought the WR334A U radio. How do you make the ALERT sound stay on in case of emergency while the radio is OFF?

I don't know for sure but I don't think that's possible. I think that if you want the alert function to operate the radio must be on. You can crank it every so often to increase its power and set it where the solar cell can recharge it.

es, you can manually switch to WB from AM/FM. But you only get tuning when there is an emergency.

Sorry Idont know I stay in South Africa,no alerts here. The best little radio I had for 30years. Its playing where others don't. Hendrik

Set the alert feature to "siren" mode and it will sound relentlessly. At its highest volume setting, I can not fathom anyone sleeping thorough the siren on this thing. If you do, then you need to have your hearing tested!

Make sure you aren't connected to your phone and your radio is off. Pioneer electronics USA has the owners manual if you didn't get one.

It has a weather channel. You can tune into it, and put the radio on stand by. Once a warning or sever alert is played back, the radio will turn on and play back the message. The battery gets empty very quickly like this, so make sure you have an alternative source of energy (like put it next to the window where the solar panel can provide power, or plug in the ac adaptor).

No need to set anything - radio picks up closest NOAA broadcast. There is a third position on the on/off slide for alerts, which I don't use (in order to save battery power). My battery has lasted a LONG time and I use my radio every day - sometimes several times. I am 70 years old and this is by far the best, most convenient (and cheapest!) weather radio I have ever used.

The instruction manual sucked as far as how to really use it. I think maybe you have click the buttons simultaneously which chance it from MP3 mode to radio mode...and if the radio isn't tuned into a station it will be silent. Just have to play with the buttons, holding them own for 3 to 15 seconds. look for a blink when you do it.

Remove the face and press the small "reset" button you find behind the face on the radio and the radio will wake up. It happens only occasionally that the radio "goes to sleep" like that.

I believe they all sound off with a verbal alert as to the unit that has detected a problem. I don,t think you can switch the frequency.

I don't know how to answer this Question but if i set both alarms they both go off and the radio plays for an hour and then turns off but the alarm is still fine for the next day.

you can't turn it off completely but you can put it on standby, it's like you turn it off you will hear no sound from the radio, you do it by pushing the SRC button until you reach standby mode, hope that i help you.

Depends on what you mean by "turn the alarm off". I have only used the radio, so when it comes on you press the power button to turn it off. To not have it go off, press the Alarm 1 (or Alarm 2, if that's the one) button repeatedly until the little pictograph for alarm and sound are both off on the display.

Depends on what you call automatic! If the unit is turned to off It will NOT turn on with an alert! But if you set it to the alert setting it will be silent until an alert occurs. You must remember, however the unit is running while on alert and battery life is several days at best. So if you want 24/7 year round protection buy a lot of batteries or get a unit wired for 110 Then however you miss the portability of this great unit. I have several!

Yes. It warns about any weather issue in your area. You just have to have the radio set to the correct frequency and you have to have it on all the time. Fair warning...you'll hear every alert in your area...high winds to heavy rain to tornadoes. In my household we only turn on the device when we get a hurricane nearby. Otherwise it's off because there are too many alerts/alarms and they wake everyone up.

it's been awhile, but i believe several owners reported it having an auto alert preset that would drain the battery. i could be mistaken. i was researching this and the NOAA radio, at the time.

mine is hooked up to come on when I start the radio and goes off when I turn off the radio. I thank the instruction said something about hooking it uo different but I chose to keep it on when the radio was on. hope this helped
