The radio is plugged into a wall socket and also has a 9volt battery backup. It only sounds the alarm when there is a watch or warning for emergency weather such as heavy thunderstorm or tornado.

This a a very good thing to buy to supplement the phone alerts.
Good advice... Have the weather radio too. But, I have a hard time hearing the weather radio, when I'm not at home...

It's a good idea to have both...I'd just like CodeRED to be a bit more reliable.

Cheers....
