should the radio pick up a weather broadcast all of the
time?
The weather service broadcasts constantly. If you cannot pick up a
weather broadcast, check the NWS or EC website to be sure you are on
the right frequency. If you are on the correct frequency and do not get
a signal, try moving your weather radio. If you are in a metal building
or in a weak signal area, you may need to use an external antenna. See
pages 6-7 for more information about setting up an external antenna.
what does 0H29M (or similar) on the display mean?
Your Hazard Alert Radio tracks an alert’s effective time. For example,
“0H29M” indicates 0 hours and 29 minutes remain until the alert
expires.
what does
CHECK OP
on the display mean?
CHECK OP
(Check Operation) means your weather radio has not
received any type of SAME alert signal (include test or demo signals) for
about 10 days.
Make sure the antenna is fully extended and the stored location is
correct. See “programming locations and FIPS/CLC codes” on page 15
for more information.
