Place the SHKR100 under the pillow Attach the Clip in the pillow

How it Works

1. The SHKR100 will vibrate for 5 seconds on and 5 seconds off when the Midland weather radio is activated by a National Weather Service alert broadcast. The vibration sequence will continue for the duration of the NWS alert.

2. When the batteries are low, the SHKR100 will vibrate for 1 second on - one second off, for three times every 30 seconds.

The SHKR100 will continue to work until the batteries are fully dead but they should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid missing an important alert. It is recommended that you replace the batteries on a regular schedule, similar to that of a smoke detector.

1. The SHKR100 may be compatible with other radios that provide a ground signal to complete the circuit of an external accessory. Check your radio's owner's manual or with the radio's manufacturer to see if it provides this type of output.

Tips

Pillow types are important.

For example, memory foam pillows are very dense and you may not feel the vibration as strongly as using a feather or down pillow.

Placement is important.

Placement under your pillow is the recommended position, but you may find that a different placement may work better for you. Suggestions include placing it on top of the pillow, inside the pillow case or over a headboard. You can use the Alert Test function of the Midland Weather Alert radio to try different locations until you find the one best suited for you. (See the weather alert radio owner's manual for alert test instructions).
