Midland Radio 74-250(C) manual Before programming the radio, we suggest turning off

When you have finished with entering the county code and the channel associated with it, the radio will automatically revert back to the last county the radio was on. This means that when you finish with programming a county/channel you must be sure of the memory location you programmed. If you programmed county 2 and the radio was on county 1, when you are finished programming the radio it will be on location 1. You must cause the radio to switch to the county you just stored in a memory other than 1. Below are detailed instructions on programming the radio.

Before programming the radio, we suggest turning off the

NOAA receiver. To temporally deactivate the receiver, press and hold the SNOOZE/FUNC button until you do not see the NOAA or any of the speaker icons associated with it. The display should

look like this...	or like this…
Alert display	Clock display

Use this mode also when monitoring for alerts is not required. Battery life will be much greater.

Enter the county code and NWS channel into memory When you receive this radio it is programmed with the “all county” code 999999. You may continue to use this code which allows the radio to receive all alerts regardless of the county.

Your 74-250 is supplied with a booklet that lists most of the NWS frequencies and the major cities they are in. Find the desired city and the frequency associated with it and refer to the list at the bottom of this section and program as desired. Do not enter the frequency (162.xxx) as a county code.
