The AC power adapter is recommended for normal operation if the Weather Receiver is to be in service for more than a few hours.

Backup Batteries are also recommended during normal operation. The condition of the batteries is monitored by the Weather Receiver. When the “Low Battery” icon flashes on the display, the battery has been discharged and should be replaced. Do not leave a dead or weak battery in the monitor. Do not leave a battery in the monitor when it is not in use. The battery may leak and possibly damage your Weather Receiver. Dispose of batteries properly.

Your MIDLAND Weather Receiver can be emergency powered by (3) AA alkaline batteries. In an emergency situation, (3) AA alkaline batteries should provide approximately 24 hours of continuous operation. The clock will run for at least 10 days on batteries when the monitor is turned off with the MONITOR ON / OFF control.
