Programming "Same" County Codes - Oregon Scientific WR103NX User Manual

PROGRAMMING "SAME" COUNTY CODES

SAME county codes are required to receive weather and
environmental information, and need to be entered into
the WR103NX. Up to 6 specific SAME codes can be
entered into 6 display fields.
NOTE The system can only alert the user to weather or
warning information after SAME county-code information
has been entered and enabled.
When the county code display is first entered, the user
will see a display field providing the option of selecting all
(ALL) or none [----] of the county codes. Selecting ALL
will set the unit so all of the warnings and weather
messages from a specified channel can be received. If
none [----] is selected the unit will receive warning or
weather information only from the specific regions that
have been specified with respective county codes.
NOTE It is recommended to select a SAME code field
between (1-6) and then enter a specific code for that
field. Selecting ALL will result in the unit giving warnings
for regions that are not relevant to the user. These
regions are quite large and can encompass about 5,000
square miles (13 sq km).
6 display fields permit up to 6 county codes to be entered.
The user can select less than 6 codes by leaving the
unused display fields empty.
As mentioned in the section "Finding local NWR channels
and County codes", a toll-free phone number or Internet
website are available to locate county code information.
