Activate / Deactivate Location

To set the location:

1.Navigate to “Set Location” setting mode as shown in the Changing Settings section.

2.Select where you want to store the location e.g. C1.

3. Select the 6-digit number e.g. “000000”. (“----“ means

the location is disabled.)

4.Select “Name” or “FIPS”.

•If you select “Name” you can select first the State and then the County of your chosen location, then press EXIT. (If you wish to receive State-wide NOAA messages, press EXIT once you have selected the State.)

•If you select “FIPS” you need to enter the 6-digit SAME code of your chosen location and then press EXIT (see Finding Local Channels & SAME Codes section for how to obtain a SAME code).

NOTE If at step 2 you select “C0:All” you will receive all warnings within the unit’s reception range. This may result in giving you information for regions that are not relevant. The regions can be as large as 5,000 square miles (13 sq km). If you select “CO:----” you will disable

the ALL option and will only receive warnings from specified local areas.

NOTE Once the location name is selected, the corresponding FIPS code will be set into the memory. You cannot convert the code back to the location name. (FIPS is the Federal Information Processing System

number assigned to each State, or open waters in or around the US. The SAME code comprises of numbers generated by the FIPS system.)

You can activate / deactivate 1, some, or all of your stored locations.

When a location is activated,

the 6-digit SAME code can

be viewed in your stored

locations display.

When a location is

deactivated, “----” can be

viewed in your stored

locations display.

2.Select a stored location e.g. C4 and press MENU. Then when “000000” or “----” is blinking, press

or to activate or deactivate it and press EXIT to confirm the setting.
