TEST SIGNAL FROM NOAA:
NOAA sends out test signals weekly and monthly to verify that your Public Alert radio
is working properly. Your radio is programmed at the factory to block the alert siren
for the test signals. When the test signal is received:
1. The LCD screen will display the text message
“The National Weather Service has issued a required weekly or monthly test for
your county until ####”
2. If not blocked, the radio will beep for 15 sec. The siren will not sound.
3. Weekly and monthly tests are stored in the Alert Queue.
Note
: If the WX-268 has not received a test signal or an alert for a period of 10 days, it
will automatically alert you by displaying
10 DAY ALERT SENTRY
on the LCD
screen.
