The Weatheradio’s features include:
Alert Function — lets you set the Weatheradio to
sound an alert when it receives a weather emergency
broadcast from NOAA.
SAME Operation — lets you program up to 15 differ-
ent FIPS (Federal Information Processing System)
codes into the Weatheradio’s memory. Each FIPS
code identifies a specific geographic area (defined by
the NWS), so your Weatheradio sounds an alert
when a weather emergency is declared in only those
locations. This helps you track the weather conditions
in and around your area.
8-Character Liquid Crystal Display — clearly dis-
plays as digital characters items such as channel
numbers and alert status descriptions (TORNADO
WARNING, FLOOD WATCH, and so on).
Alert Status Indicators — different-colored indica-
tors let you determine at a glance the type of alert re-
ceived (red is for a warning, yellow is for a watch, and
green is for a statement).
7 Channels — let you select the frequency for your
local NOAA weather broadcasts.
