CARE AND MAINTENANCE
When handled properly, this unit is engineered to give
years of satisfactory service.
To properly maintain this product:
1. The unit is splash proof but do not immerse it in
water. If the unit comes in contact with water, dry it
with a soft lint-free cloth.
2. Do not clean the unit with abrasive or corrosive
materials. Abrasive cleaning agents may scratch
the plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuit.
3. Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock,
dust, temperature, or humidity. Such treatment may
result in malfunction, a shorter electronic life span,
damaged batteries, or distorted parts.
4. Do not tamper with the unit’s internal components.
Doing so will terminate the unit’s warranty and may
cause damage. The unit contains no user-serviceable
parts.
5. Only use new batteries as specified in this instruction
manual. Do not mix new and old batteries as the old
batteries may leak corrosive or hazardous fluids.
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.
lf you have any questions regarding alarm tests or to
verify if a test was conducted, contact the programming
office of your local weather service station.
to flash for over an hour after the Test message is
received. "NOAA Weather Radio/Weatheradio Canada
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).
