Note: When a SAME location/event code storage
location is set for Entry ON and Lockout ON,
the radio will process the SAME location/event
code that is stored there, and will lock out the
specified event code. A SAME location/event
code storage location set for Entry: OFF and
Lockout: ON will not be processed, because
Entry is set to OFF. In case of a conflict (i.e., two
identical codes and events are entered, and
one is locked out), the locked out entry will take
precedence.
To reset SAME code to the default setting:
1. Press
WX.
2. Press SAME softkey.
3. Press S or T to select SAME code location.
4. Press SEL.
5. Press T to select code, then press Dflt
softkey.
6. Press
Save softkey to save the code.
7. Press Save softkey again to save changes.
Activating SAME Standby Mode
After you have entered your desired SAME
codes, you can activate the SAME Standby Mode
to begin standby operation. The radio will remain
silent until a SAME transmission is received with
a code that matches one that you have stored.
When a matching SAME message is received,
your radio will sound a siren alarm, then will play
the audio message that follows the Warning Alert
Tone (WAT).
To activate SAME standby mode:
1. Press
WX.
2. Press
S or T to find the best weather radio
transmitter for your location, then press the
stby softkey.
The softkey will change to STBY to indicate
that SAME Standby Mode is active, and the
scanner will alert when a matching SAME
message is received.
3. Press the STBY softkey again to exit SAME
Standby Mode, or press MAN, SCAN, or
PGM.
When your local NWS office activates a SAME
warning that matches a FIPS code stored in your
scanner, you will first hear a siren alarm and see
the LED flash to alert you to the incoming alarm.
The LED flashes RED for warnings, YELLOW for
watches, and BLUE for tests and administrative
messages.
The scanner sounds the siren until the NWS
transmission of the 1050 Hz Warning Alert
Tone (WAT) begins. Once the WAT begins, the
scanner’s speaker will unmute, and you will hear
the WAT play as an alert that the voice portion
of the SAME warning is about to begin. You will
then hear the voice portion of the SAME warning.
Your scanner will resume SAME Standby
operation 90 seconds after the SAME warning
starts. You may reset standby mode by pressing
the STBY softkey twice at any time.
