Setting The Radio Channel; Locations; Setting The Location - Oregon Scientific WR108 User Manual

from that station.
The channel number in use can be viewed on the top
left-hand corner of the LCD.

SETTING THE RADIO CHANNEL

To change the radio channel, navigate to "Set Channel"
setting mode and select the desired Channel, as shown

SETTING THE LOCATION

You need to set the location so that you can receive
weather and environmental information for an area that
is relevant to you.
You can choose the location by either the state and
county name, or FIPS code. Up to 9 locations (1-9) can
be stored.
NOTE If you do not set a location, the radio will use the
default setting "CO:All" for all counties.

the ALL option and will only receive warnings from
