ABOUT THE NATIONAL WEATHER RADIO SYSTEM

The National Weather Service (NWS) is an agency within the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that operates a nationwide network of radio stations known as the NOAA Weather Radio (NWR). The NWR radio system broadcasts warning information for all types of hazards, both natural and technological.

Working in conjunction with the Emergency Alert System (EAS), NWR is an all-in-one hazards radio network and is considered to be the single source of all comprehensive weather and emergency information.

A nationwide network, the NWR consists of more than 1000 stations in the United States, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and US Pacific Territories. Broadcasts are designed to meet local needs. Routine programming is repeated every few minutes and consists of local forecast, regional conditions and marine forecasts.

Additional information, including river stages and climatic data, is also provided. During emergencies, these routine broadcasts are interrupted to report specific warnings.

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.
