WR300 Owner’s Manual
Product Information:
Thank you for choosing Midland! Your new WR300 weather radio is the latest in weather and hazard alert monitoring technology, providing you with the information needed to keep you safe. Your WR300 weather radio has a special receiver that tunes to the 24/7 broadcast issued by the National Weather Service. The combined All Hazards/Weather Alert broadcast network is the single, most immediate source for comprehensive weather and emergency information available to the public.
This WR300 weather radio has an innovative automatic alert system. In the event of a special warning broadcast, the radio is automatically activated along with a loud tone, a flashing LED indicator and an “alert” message on the LCD. Emergency weather bulletins include alerts about: tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, ice/snow storms and other severe weather. Other emergencies might include: Amber alert, hazardous explosions, fires, chemical spills and other civil emergen- cies.
In addition, this WR300 weather radio has the “S.A.M.E. Digital Weather/Hazard Alert” feature, providing you with constant monitoring of your localized NWS broadcast. The S.A.M.E. decod- ing receiver allows you to hear only messages for the area(s) concerning you. You now have a choice as to what information will be brought to you.
We encourage you to read this owner’s manual thoroughly before operating this radio. This manual is a valuable part of your new weather radio. See the “Quick Start Instructions” section of this manual for the initial weather radio setup and programming. After your new weather radio is programmed and operating properly, store the manual in a safe place for future reference.
