CUSTOMIZING YOUR WEATHER RADIO

Weather Radio allows selecting and programming of several different features, including the weather radio channel, country, language of the events (alerts), alerts, location, signal reminder, alert reminder and alert mode.

CHANNEL SEARCH

There are two options available for searching of NWR channels – an auto and manual.

The default channel search mode is auto.

If an auto search is selected, leave the Weather Radio in the default mode after the main unit has been powered. Then the Weather Radio will scan automatically through all 7 NOAA frequencies (channels) and lock on the strongest available channel.

When an auto search is selected and reception is successful, the Weather Radio will display the number of the received channel (for example: CHANNEL 7).

If no channel is detected at this time, the message NO CHANNEL AVAILABLE BACK TO CHANNEL X will be displayed.

If a manual search is selected, follow this programming procedure:

Press MENU/SELECT button until message MANUAL is displayed

Press MENU/SELECT once entering into the channel search programming mode – a channel number will be displayed

Press or adjusting the desired channel number - 1 through 7

Press WEATHER/SNOOZE button on the main unit to listen a NWR broadcast – the icon NOAA will be displayed next to the reception status icon []

Press ◄ to exit

NOTE: If your Weather Radio is receiving a NWR broadcast on more than one channel, the one with the best reception may not be the best option for your location. Contact NWS for information regarding broadcasting stations locations.

Advisories are for less serious conditions than warnings, which cause significant inconvenience and if caution is not exercised, could lead to situations that may threaten life or property.

Watch –potential severe weather approaching your area. It does not mean severe weather occur, but that the right conditions exist which could lead to severe storms. You should be prepared for the weather to deteriorate rapidly.

Warning –severe weather is imminent or present in your vicinity. You should immediately take precautions to protect yourself and your family.
