• Mute [ ]: The unit is in Standby with the sound turned OFF. NOAA alert messages can be viewed but not heard. Switch the unit ON to hear messages. • OFF: The unit is turned OFF and will not respond to NOAA alert messages. Turning the unit off by setting it to Standby, Mute or OFF will help to save power. RECEPTION TEST The fact that you can get clear voice reception does not guarantee that an emergency alert will trigger your unit’s alert tone. To test actual reception, your unit must receive a test or emergency alert signal broadcast. The National Weather Service (NWS) broadcasts a test alert every week on Wednesday between 11AM and 12PM (noon). To find out the specific test schedule in your area, contact your local National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or National Weather Service (NWR) office. These offices are usually listed in the telephone book under “US Government”. REMEMBER For your system to be effective, you must place the unit in a location where it can receive an emergency alert signal, you can hear its siren, and see its flashing indicator lights. RECEPTION PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS 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 your weather station near a window, away from other electronic equipment, and on an upper level of your house. 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 scroll across your weather station display: “WARNING”, “WATCH”, or “ADVISORY”. The unit can store up to 8 NOAA alert messages. Additionally, to help you check that your unit 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 unit is set to NOAA ON, NOAA Standby or NOAA Mute mode, that a Channel has been selected and a SAME code programmed in.
