Battery backup uses 3 AA batteries for use when the power fails; Lighted controls allow unit to be used in low light or even NO-light situations; you can tailor the kind of emergency warnings you'll receive, whether for earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes or blizzards (to name a few).
Top reviews from other countries
Simple enough to set up if you are used to working with appliance menus,. Even simpler to operate. Single button operation turns weather forecast on or off.
