Introduction

SAME Alert

NOAA All Hazards/Weather Radio and Alert, w/SAME

NOTE

The symbol will appear on the top of the display when the weather alert is turned On.

	Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME)
	The SAME weather alert allows listeners and EAS
	(Emergency Alert System) participants to filter the National
	Weather Radio (NWR) broadcast of warnings and emergency
	alerts to receive only messages and information for your
	selected local geographic area.
	The Weather Alert must be turned On for the SAME alert
	code to be set. The SAME alert requires that a specific six (6)
	digit code be programmed into this radio. To program this
	SAME receiver with the proper county(s) and marine areas(s)
	of choice, you need to know the 6 digit SAME code
	number(s) for the county(s). This setting allows up to 10
	available codes that may be set up in any order. Any of the
	codes may be turned On or Off for specific weather area
	information to be listed.
	NOTE
	You can obtain online information at
	http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/same.htm#program or
	by telephone at 1-888-NWR-SAME (1-888-697-7263)
