WARNING: To ensure to continuously monitor alerts from NOAA while the unit is in alert mode,
the unit should be checked periodically to confirm its functionality and for loss of reception; also
check for loss of reception after moving the unit to a different location.
• Test Warnings from NOAA; all National Weather Services periodically transmit test signals. Some
stations broadcast a test signal every week on Wednesday between 11 AM and 1 PM, while others
test more often, the NWS may also broadcast System demonstrations. You can find out when your
local NWS broadcasts test signals by calling the NOAA National Weather Service Forecast Office
(listed under “Weather” in the Federal Government section of the telephone book.) During the weekly
test signal, the local NWS will give a list of counties covered by their transmitter.
• Check unit periodically for wear and tear. Take to a qualified technician for replacement of worn or
defective parts immediately.
• Read This Instruction Manual Before Using This Unit.
