Every commercial radio sold in the US has an FCC ID. Look on the back of your physical radio (under the battery) for an ID like 2A9HX-DXAR8108. A verified manual will list this exact ID inside the "Compliance" section. If the manual lists a different ID, it is for a different radio.

Press and hold it – if it enters weather scan mode and finds 7 NOAA channels.
Check for “Alert” or “Standby” mode – often labeled on the dial or display.
