INTERPRETING 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.
Additionally, to help you check that your radio is set-up
and working properly, your local NOAA will release a
Test NOAA message every Wednesday between 10am
and noon, local time. To receive the Test message make
sure that your radio is set to NOAA ON, NOAA Standby
or NOAA Mute mode, that a Channel has been selected
and a SAME code programmed in. 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.
To view NOAA alert messages, press

For more information on how to interpret the NOAA alert
messages, please refer to the list of National Events and
Messages below:
RECEPTION PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
MANY THINGS AFFECT RECEPTION!
Forests, deserts, and hills / mountains tend to greatly
reduce reception. Reception in cities may be reduced
due to steel and concrete, while higher elevations will
enhance the signal. Reception can vary from room to
room. Moving even a few feet can enhance signal
reception.
RECOMMENDATION Place the your weather radio near
a window, away from other electronic equipment, and
on an upper level of your house.
HOME / TRAVEL MODE
When the unit is set to home mode, the NOAA radio will
lock on the channel according to the Channel settings.
When the unit is set to travel mode, the NOAA radio will
lock on the channel according to the setting. If the signal
strength is weak, the unit will switch to another channel
that has a good signal. The location will be set to “C0:All”.
Therefore, in travel mode, you will not always receive
relevant NOAA alert messages, but it does mean that
you can receive warning information when you are
traveling outside your home area.
To switch between travel and home mode, press and
hold TR / HM.
