Appendix A - Notes and Tips

Self Test : The WX-200 will automatically notify you if it has not received a test message in the previous 10 days, by lighting the amber “Advisory” LED indicator and displaying “10 DAY ALERT SENTRY” on the LCD screen.

CAUTION!

Storm front activity can continue even though the alert’s effective time has expired. The end of an alert does not mean that the related emergency is over.

Antennas: For best Weather Band reception, lift up the built-in telescopic antenna and fully extend it vertically. The Weather Band channel that gives you the best reception may not be the one that broadcasts weather information for your own location or county. To improve reception move the radio location.
