      To ensure your Midland Weather Station responds correctly to NWS alerts, verify that you have programmed the correct FIPS codes into the radio's memory. Also, if you want to hear the alert or operate a device from the EXT.ALERT jack, make sure the display shows the SIREN or VOICE icon.

      If your Midland Weather Station isn't picking up a weather broadcast when you press the WEATHER button, try these steps: * Make sure the telescoping antenna is fully extended. * If you're using an external antenna, check that it's properly connected. * Confirm the radio is set to the NOAA weather channel used in your area. You might also want to contact NOAA to confirm they are currently broadcasting.
