SAME MESSAGES
The WR110 receives SAME warning messages in 3
classifications depending upon the level of emergency:
Warning, Watch and Advisory. In addition to these 3
classifications, there is another type of message - Test. The
purpose of this NWR service is to assist you in verifying that
your WR110 NOAA weather radio is set-up and working
properly. Each week the National Weather Service Office
will broadcast a test message in SAME format. To receive
the Test message, your WR110 needs to be in NOAA-
on, NOAA-standby, or NOAA-mute mode with a county
code and NWR channel selected and programmed into
the radio. If your WR110 is properly set, a flashing “Test”
icon will be displayed on the LCD when a Test message is
received. The “Test” icon will continue to flash for over an
hour after the Test message is received.
NOAA Weather Radio stations broadcast the Test
Message every Wednesday between 10:00AM and
Noon, local time. (Test messages may also be sent on
other days and times when there is a threat of severe
weather in the listening area or for other reasons).
Corresponding with the “Test” icon, the following broadcast
will be made immediately after sounding the Test alarm:
“This is the National Weather Service Office in ... (city)
.... The preceding signal was a test of the Weather Radio
Station ... (call sign) ... public warning system. During
potentially dangerous weather situations, specially built
receivers can be automatically activated by this signal
to warn of the impending hazard. Tests of this signal
and receivers’ performance are normally conducted
by the National Weather Service at ... (time) ... each
Wednesday. If there is a threat of severe weather, the
test will be postponed to the next good-weather day.
Reception of this broadcast, and especially the warning
alarm, will vary at any given location. This variability,
normally more noticeable at greater distances from
the transmitter, can occur even though you are using
a good quality receiver in good working order. To
provide the most consistent and dependable warning
service possible, the warning alarm will be activated
for hazardous watches and warnings for the following
counties .... (list of counties)...”
When more than 1 state is involved, the names of the states
will always preceed the names of the counties in that state.
If the Test is cancelled due to the threat of severe
weather, the Test broadcast schedule will resume with
the next available good-weather day.
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.
PRECAUTIONS
• Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock,
dust, temperature or humidity.
• Do not cover the ventilation holes with any items
