Scroll to the Alarm: field. Note that you can specify different alarm sounds for this SAME entry.
We recommend that you use the default setting here for general purpose weather alerting.
Scroll to the Lockout: field. Note that Lockout is currently set to off. Lockout is a special purpose
parameter that can be used to lock out individual event or area codes. We recommend that you
leave Lockout set to off for general purpose weather alerting.
When you have finished editing your SAME entry, press the Save softkey to store the data, then
press the Save softkey to save all SAME changes and return to the Weather mode.
Activating SAME Standby Mode
After you have entered your desired SAME codes, you can activate the SAME Standby Mode to
begin standby operation. The radio will remain silent until a SAME transmission is received
with a code that matches one that you have stored. When a matching SAME message is
received, your radio will sound a siren alarm, then will play the audio message that follows the
Warning Alert Tone (WAT).
To activate SAME standby mode, press the WX key, use the ^ or v keys to find the best weather
radio transmitter for your location, then press the stby softkey. The softkey will change to STBY
to indicate that SAME Standby Mode is active, and the scanner will alert when a matching
SAME message is received.
Press the STBY softkey again to exit SAME Standby Mode, or press MAN, SCAN or PGM.
