9. PROGRAMMING S.A.M.E. COUNTY CODE(S).
Note: In addition to your own county code, you may wish to obtain the
S.A.M.E. county code(s) for other counties close to you. The S.A.M.E.
County Code(s) you program into your Weather Receiver will determine
which counties your Weather Receiver will respond to. (The counties
must be within the ± 50-mile broadcast coverage area of your local
NWS.)
A. First, to determine the S.A.M.E. county code(s) for counties in
which you are interested: (1) call the toll-free NWS telephone number,
(2) access NOAA Web Site at: www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm .
1. The National Weather Service Toll-Free Number provides
S.A.M.E. County Codes at:
1-888-NWS-SAME. or (1-888-697-7263)
2. The NOAA Weather Radio Web Site provides S.A.M.E. County
Codes at: www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm .
Note Internet access is available free of charge at many public libraries
in the United States.
B. Then, when you have the S.A.M.E. County Code(s) you want to,
program them into your Weather Receiver as follows.
Note all empty memory locations will be indicated as
“-- -- -- -- -- --” on the Weather Receiver display.
1. Turn off Weather Receiver for silent programming.
2. Press “MENU” button to open menu options.
3. Press “UP” arrow to scroll through menu options until “S.A.M.E.
SET” is displayed, then press “SELECT” button.
4. Press “UP” arrow to scroll through:
“SINGLE”, “MULTIPLE”, or “ANY.”
(You will need to choose whether to enter a Single or Multiple S.A.M.E.
County Code, or accept Any S.A.M.E. County Codes.)
“ANY” S.A.M.E. County Codes is the Default Factory Setting. Your
Weather Receiver comes preprogrammed to receive NWS Weather and
Hazard Alert transmissions for any and all S.A.M.E. county codes within
range. If you want to receive all Weather and Hazard Alert
transmissions within reception range, leave your Weather Receiver set
to “ANY.”
