Should I use my NOAA radio every day?

You don’t need to use your FosPower NOAA Emergency Weather Radio A6 every day, but it’s a good idea to test it regularly. Testing the radio ensures that it functions properly when you need it in an emergency. Regular usage can also help you become familiar with its features, making it easier to operate under stress. While daily listening for weather updates isn't necessary, frequency checks can help you stay engaged with the device. For example, checking it monthly allows you to familiarize yourself with the settings without the pressure of an emergency situation. PRO TIP: Set a calendar reminder to check your NOAA radio once a month to maintain its readiness. However, if you find that the radio is causing you anxiety during calm periods, you may prefer to keep it stored until conditions warrant its use.
