2. Select where you want to store the location e.g. C1.
3. Select the 6-digit number e.g. “000000”. (“----“ means

NOTE If at step 2 you select “C0:All” you will receive all
warnings within the unit’s reception range. This may

relevant. The regions can be as large as 5,000 square

the ALL option and will only receive warnings from
specified local areas.
NOTE Once the location name is selected, the
corresponding FIPS code will be set into the memory.
You cannot convert the code back to the location name.
(FIPS is the Federal Information Processing System
number assigned to each State, or open waters in or
around the US. The SAME code comprises of numbers
generated by the FIPS system.)
