The first time you use your Weatheradio, it is preset
to use NOAA weather broadcast frequency 162.400
MHz (Channel 1), and to receive all SAME alert sig-
nals broadcast within a 50-mile radius.
Your Weatheradio is programmed with the seven
NOAA broadcast frequencies (Channels 1–7). De-
pending on your location, you might need to select a
different channel.
Follow these steps to select a NOAA weather fre-
quency, set the Alert Pattern, and enter FIPS codes in
the Weatheradio’s memory.
Notes:
• The Weatheradio will not receive a warning sig-
nal while it is in the programming mode.
• If you do not press a key for 45 seconds, the
Weatheradio stores all valid entries and exits the
programming mode. Set the
PROGRAM/ALERT
switch to
ALERT
OFF
or
ALERT ON
and then to
PROGRAM
, and begin again.
