We encourage you to read this Owner's Manual thoroughly before
operating this unit. This manual is a valuable part of your new
MIDLAND All Hazard/Weather Alert Receiver. See the "Quick Start
Instructions" section of this manual for the initial Weather Receiver
setup and programming. After this weather receiver is programmed and
operating properly, store the manual in a safe place.
What is S.A.M.E.? Specific Area Message Encoding- S.A.M.E. - Is a
feature in MIDLAND Weather Radios that allows you to program in your
county code or counties codes. This will eliminate any Alerts that are
not within your programmed Specific Area. For example, if you only
want to be informed for alerts within your county just program in your
county code. But, if you want to be informed about counties that are
North, South, East and West of you, you can do so.
