PROGRAMMING THE
WEATHERADIO
Your Weatheradio is preprogrammed with the
seven national NOAA broadcast frequencies
(Channels 1–7). Depending on your location, you
might need to select a different channel (see
"Selecting a Channel" on Page 19). The first time
you use your Weatheradio, it:
• sounds a tone for 5 minutes during a weather
alert and displays an alert description until the
alert's effective time expires
• receives all SAME alert signals broadcast
within a 50-mile radius of where you installed it
• automatically scans to find the strongest NOAA
weather broadcast frequency in your area
If necessary, you can program your Weatheradio to
change the way it operates. Follow these steps and
