RADIO WR602 – HOME / TRAVEL MODE
When the unit is set to home mode, the NOAA radio will
lock on the channel according to the Channel settings.
When the unit is set to travel mode, the NOAA radio will
lock on the channel according to the setting. If the signal
strength is weak, the unit will switch to another channel
that has a good signal. The location will be set to
“C0:All”. Therefore, in travel mode, you will not always
receive relevant NOAA alert messages, but it does mean
that you can receive warning information when you are
traveling outside your home area.
To switch between travel and home mode, press and
hold TR / HM.
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. The National
Weather Service (NWS) broadcasts a test alert every
week on Wednesday between 11AM and 12PM (noon).
To find out the specific test schedule in your area,
contact your local National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) or National Weather Service
(NWR) office. These offices are usually listed in the
telephone book under “US Government”.
REMEMBER For your system to be effective, you must
place the emergency radio in a location where it can
receive an emergency alert signal, you can hear its siren,
and see its flashing indicator lights.
RECEPTION PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
MANY THINGS AFFECT RECEPTION!
Forests, deserts, and hills / mountains tend to greatly
reduce reception. Reception in cities may be reduced
due to steel and concrete, while higher elevations will
enhance the signal. Reception can vary from room to
room. Moving even a few feet can enhance signal
reception.
RECOMMENDATION Place the your weather radio near
a window, away from other electronic equipment, and
on an upper level of your house.
