Setting the siren mode

Your Motorola MWR839 Weather Alert Radio allows you to block the siren
from sounding on some warnings that are not relevant to your area. For
example, a flood warning that may be issued in your county may not
affect your location. You may not want the siren to sound for a flood
warning alert.
Note: Some alerts, such as Tornado Warning, are not blockable.
To Set the Siren Mode:
1. Press the MENU button and press the TUNE DOWN to scroll down
through the main menu list to the Defeat Siren menu.
2. Press the SELECT button to enter the Defeat Siren menu. The words
ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE will scroll across the bottom of the
LCD display. This is the first alert on the list of alerts that NOAA can
broadcast. You have the option to disable the siren to block this alert
or enable to receive it. Use the VOL UP/DOWN to make your selection.
3. After setting the Defeat Siren for this alert, use the TUNE UP/DOWN
to scroll through the list of alerts, following the same sequence to set
the Siren Mode for each alert desired.
Upon selecting the Defeat Siren for the desired alerts, press the SELECT
button to save and exit to the Defeat Siren prompt of the main menu list.
