If the system does not respond or exhibits erratic or intermittent operation, you may have 
experienced an electrostatic discharge (ESD) or a power surge that triggered the internal 
microcontroller to shut down automatically. If this occurs, simply disconnect the AC Adaptor

again as if you were using it for the very first time except some settings of weather band

.

REVIEWING AN ALERT MESSAGE

The SFA1135 S.A.M.E Weather Alert Radio can store up to 10 different alerts (with 

overlapping effective times) in memory. If the radio receives a new alert while a previous 

alert is still active, it automatically overrides and displays the new alert in scrolling text. The 

indicator lights will also change to the new alert received.
