Monitoring Weather (NOAA Weather Radio and Channel Selection)
You can program the Informer to monitor the local NOAA Weather Radio Channel if
you purchased the VHF version. The RF frequencies for NOAA radio are as follows:
162.400 MHz, 162.425 MHz, 162.450 MHz, 162.475 MHz, 162.500 MHz,
162.525 MHz, and 162.550 MHz.
When you use the Informer with NOAA radio, enable the MONITOR button in the
software. Pushing the MONITOR button places the Informer into monitor mode and
allows you to begin listening to the NOAA Weather Radio Channel. If you program
multiple RF channels into the Informer, the unit beeps once for each channel number
when you press the MONITOR button. For example, the first time you press the
MONITOR button, the Informer beeps once for channel 1. The second time you press
the MONITOR button, the Informer beeps twice for channel 2, and so on.
Program the Informer to emit a short tone to alert the user after the Informer receives
a valid EAS message. Program the speaker to auto, timed or manual reset to enable a
voice announcement to be heard.
To discontinue monitoring NOAA Weather Radio and place the unit in standby
mode, press the RESET/TEST button on the Informer. While in standby mode, the
Informer is not heard, but continues to monitor the selected NOAA radio channel for
emergency broadcasts.
For further information pertaining to EAS, consults your local NOAA weather center
or the FCC at www.fcc.gov.
