RADIO - INTERPRETING NOAA ALERT MESSAGES
This product is equipped to receive all required NOAA and Emergency Alert System (EAS) events. When an EAS event
is sent by the NWS, any 1 of the following NOAA alert messages will be displayed on your radio: “WARNING”, “WATCH”,
or “ADVISORY”. The unit can store up to 8 NOAA alert messages.
Additionally, to help you check that your radio is set-up and working properly, your local NOAA will release a Test NOAA
message every Wednesday between 10am and noon, local time. To receive the Test message make sure that your
radio is set to NOAA ON, NOAA Standby or NOAA Mute mode, that a Channel has been selected and a SAME code
programmed in. If you have any questions regarding alarm tests or to verify if a test was conducted, contact the
programming office of your local NOAA Weather Radio station.
