FEATURES
Your RadioShack Weatheradio with Alert is the next
generation of weather alert technology. Your Weath-
eradio uses SAME (Specific Area Message Encod-
ing) circuitry to provide more complete information
about weather conditions in your immediate area,
letting you avoid hearing alerts for geographical ar-
eas that do not interest you.
Your Weatheradio's features include:
SAME Operation — lets you program as many as
two different geographical codes into the Weathera-
dio's memory, so the Weatheradio sounds an alert
only when a weather emergency is declared in any
of those locations.
Audible Alert — the Weatheradio sounds a built-in
siren when it detects emergency weather situations.
7 Weather Channels — let you select the frequen-
cy for your local National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) weather broadcasts.
Selectable Alert Function — lets you set the
Weatheradio so it sounds an alert then automatical-
ly sounds the accompanying NOAA broadcast when
it receives a weather emergency broadcast. You
can also set the Weatheradio so it sounds only the
alert, letting you manually tune the NOAA broad-
cast.
