PROGRAMMING THE
WEATHERADIO
The first time you use your Weatheradio, it is
automatically set to use the NOAA weather
broadcast frequency 162.400 MHz (Channel
1) and receive all SAME alert signals (all lo-
cations mode) broadcast within a 50-mile ra-
dius of where you installed it.
Your Weatheradio is preprogrammed with
the seven national NOAA broadcast frequen-
cies (Channels 1–7). Depending on your lo-
cation, you might need to select a different
channel.
1. Set
ALERT/PROGRAM
on the back of the
Weatheradio
to
PROGRAM
. The Weath-
eradio displays the preset weather
broadcast channel and frequency num-
ber.
Note:
If you do not press a key for about
45 seconds, the Weatheradio exits the
programming mode without storing any
changes. To continue, set
ALERT/PRO-
GRAM
back to
PROGRAM
, then start
over at Step 1.
2. Repeatedly press
SCROLL/MIN
to select
the channel you want, then rotate
VOL-
UME
so you can hear the broadcast as
you make your selection.
Note:
If you receive a NOAA broadcast
on more than one channel, the one with
the best reception
might
not
be the one
broadcasting information for your loca-
tion. Contact your local RadioShack
store or the NWS to find out which fre-
quency NOAA is using to broadcast
from the station nearest your location,
then select that channel.
3. Press
OK/HR
when you hear the broad-
cast you want. The broadcast turns off,
the Weatheradio beeps, then
TONE
or
VOICE
appears.

SCROLL/MIN
to select
the alert type you want (
TONE
or
