Setting Up the WX500 All Hazards/Weather Radio
1. Plug the AC adaptor into an outlet and into the WX500. Make sure
that the outlet is not controlled by a switch that is turned OFF.
2. Install the 9V Backup Battery by removing the battery compartment
cover and snapping the battery onto the terminals.
3. If you would like to program your radio to receive Alerts only for
certain areas, determine the SAME codes you need. SAME codes for
your area can be found using the National Weather Service toll-free
phone number or the NOAA website. Phone: 1-888-NWR-SAME
(1-888-697-7263) Web: http://205.156.54.206/nwr/indexnw.htm
(a branch from http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr)
NOTE: If the radio will be located close to a county or parish
boundary lines, you may want to program SAME codes for
the nearby areas.
