Appendix A - Notes and Tips
Self Test :
The WX-150 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.
To Review Alert Messages
The WX-150 will store up to 17 alert messages in its memory. Alerts are removed
automatically when the time for the event expires. If all stored alerts are active, it will
replace the oldest active alert upon exceeding the memory limit. Press the NEXT (>) or
PREV (<) button to view stored alerts.
