Important: The fact that you get clear reception of a
weather broadcast signal does
not
guarantee that an
emergency alert broadcast will trigger your Weathera-
dio’s alert function. Be sure you choose the proper lo-
cation for the Weatheradio (see “Choosing a Location
and Mounting the Weatheradio” on Page 20) and reg-
ularly check the Weatheradio to be sure it is operating
properly (see “When a Test or Demo Alert Occurs” on
Page 33).
Using the Weatheradio’s “All Signals”
Code
This Weatheradio is preset to use a default “all sig-
nals” code of 99, which lets it receive all SAME broad-
casts within a 50-mile radius. (This code is unique to
your Weatheradio — it is
not
a FIPS code.)
The first time you program the Weatheradio, you re-
place the “all signals” code (in the first memory posi-
tion) with a specific NWS FIPS code. To reset the
Weatheradio to use the “all signals” code again, sim-
ply follow Steps 1, 2, and 5–9 in “Programming the
Weatheradio” on Page 14, and store 99 in the first
memory position in Step 6.
