TO REVIEW THE OVERLAPPING ALERT MESSAGES:
The Emergency Alert Radio can store up to 10 alert messages in
its memory in a First in First Out (FIFO) basis. If the radio receives
a new alert message when the memory is full and the previous
alerts are still in effect, it will delete the oldest alert, then save,
display and sound the new incoming alert message.
Press “>”, “<” to scroll through all the alert messages
in the memory.
TEST SIGNAL FROM NOAA:
The NWS office sends out test signals weekly for users to
verify that their weather radios are working properly.
When the alert function is turned on and the proper FIPS codes
are set, the unit will respond to NOAA test signals as follows:
- The word “Test” is shown on the LCD Display and the alert tone
will be heard.
C) SINGLE / MUL
TIPLE SELECT- When the unit is set to have a
“SINGLE” code location, the radio will ONLY receive the alert sig-
nal corresponding to Memory Location “LOC 1”. When the unit is
set to have “MULTIPLE” code locations, the radio will receive
alert signals corresponding to ALL memory locations. A total of 20
multiple code locations are available in the unit.
- Press “ENTER” button while “SINGLE/MULTIPLE” is
displayed in the program mode.
- Using “>”, “<” or the “Function (Scroll) Knob” to change to
either “SINGLE” or “MULTIPLE” mode. Press “ENTER” button
to accept the change.
- Press the red “STOP ALERT TONE” button to return to previous
menu or “PROGRAM” button to exit from program mode.
D) ENTER LOC CODE- In order to receive the alert signals in a
specific county or a portion of a state, the FIPS location codes
have to be set up properly in the memory locations of the unit.
- Press “ENTER” button while “ENTER - LOC CODE” is dis-
played in the program mode.

“FIPS code” flashing.

Press “>”, “<” or the “Function (Scroll) Knob” to change between
“LOC 1-20”, press “ENTER” to select the desired LOC number.
- The 2 leftmost digits of the 6-digit FIPS code will be flashing,
indicating that you can change its value by rolling the “Function
(Scroll) Knob”. Use “>” or “<” to select the second and third
pair digits and follow the same procedures to change the digits
to desired coded values. After changing all the digits, press
“ENTER” to save it into its LOC memory.
-
Press the red “STOP ALERT TONE” button to return to previous
menu or “PROGRAM” button to exit from program mode.
NOTE: To receive ALL the alert signals sent on the monitored
NOAA weather channel, set code “999999” into “LOC 1” and
choose “SINGLE” code location. Make sure you remove the code
”999999” from any memory locations when you ONLY want to
receive specific location code messages.
