Reviewing Alerts

The MD319 weather radio can store 20 different alerts (with overlapping
effective times) in its memory. If the radio receives a new alert while a
previous alert is still in effect, it automatically displays the new alert
description. To review past alerts that are still in effect, press the "▲or▼"
to scroll through the last 20 alerts. If an alert is expired, it will be delete.

Test Signals Broadcast by NWS

All National Weather Service stations periodically transmit test signals.
You can find out when your local NWS station broadcasts test signals by
calling the NOAA National Weather Service Forecast Office (listed under
"Weather" in the Federal Government section of the telephone book).
During the weekly test signal, the local NWS station will give a list of
counties covered by their transmitter. The NWS test signal allows
everyone with weather radio receivers to verify the operation of their
equipment.
The following test signals may be sent by the NWS during testing:
required weekly test, required monthly test, system demo and
national periodic test.

No Reception Warning

If no alerts are received for 10 days, the display will flash "CHECK
RECEPTION" every 30 seconds. If this happens, check your channel
settings and county codes for setting errors. If you receive a clear signal
from the NWS, try using the "ALL" county code setting to receive all
alerts for all counties.
Note: If you have trouble finding reception, please move your radio
closer to a window and away from fluorescent lighting.
