appears.
The Weatheradio has not
received any type of SAME alert
signal (including test or demo sig-
nals) for about one week. Ensure
the FIPS code(s) stored in mem-
ory are valid/correct.
See “Programming the Weathera-
dio” on Page 14.
Ensure the telescoping antenna is
fully extended or the external
antenna (if any) is properly con-
nected.
See “Using the Antenna” on
Page 11.
The Weathera-
dio’s continuous
alert tone sounds
intermittent or
seems to warble.
The Weatheradio constantly mon-
itors the channel you set it to,
even while it is sounding a contin-
uous alert. Each time the Weath-
eradio receives a signal on that
channel, it pauses very briefly to
compare that signal against those
stored in its memory. If the Weath-
eradio pauses frequently
(depending on how often it
receives a signal), it might make
the Weatheradio’s continuous
alert tone sound intermittent.
This is not a malfunction.
