NOTE If NOAA radio is on, whether it be NOAA On,
Standby or Mute, unit will continually search for a
NOAA signal.
NOTE If NOAA function has been deactivated (top
display is blank), press and hold NOAA to reactivate
NOAA radio.
RECEPTION TEST
The fact that you can get clear voice reception does
not guarantee that an emergency alert will trigger your
unit’s alert tone. To test actual reception, your unit must
receive a test or emergency alert signal broadcast. Try
positioning the radio in different locations to find a
place where it can receive a clear signal to ensure
its effectiveness.
The National Weather Service (NWS) broadcasts a test
alert every week on Wednesday between 10AM and
12PM (noon). To receive the test message make sure
that your radio is set to NOAA ON or NOAA Standby
and that a Channel has been selected.
To find out the specific test schedule in your area,
contact your local National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) or National Weather Service
(NWS) office. These offices are usually listed in the
telephone book under “US Government”.
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.
RECEIVING NOAA ALERT MESSAGES
This product is equipped to receive all required NOAA
and Emergency Alert System (EAS) events. When an
EAS event is sent by the NWS, any 1 of the following
NOAA alert messages will be displayed on your radio:
“WARNING”,“WATCH”, or “ADVISORY”. The unit can
store up to 8 NOAA alert messages.
The red public alert indicator will light up if a ‘WATCH’ or
‘WARNING’ message has been received. It will continue
flashing until NWS withdraws the alert message.
If NWS issues an emergency warning, the siren will
sound for 8 seconds to alert users.
