matches a FIPS code stored in your scanner, you will first hear a
siren alarm and see the LED flash to alert you to the incoming
alarm. The LED flashes RED for warnings, YELLOW for
watches, and BLUE for tests and administrative messages.
The scanner sounds the siren until the NWS transmission of the
1050 Hz Warning Alert Tone (WAT) begins. Once the WAT
begins, the scannerʼs speaker will unmute, and you will hear the
WAT play as an alert that the voice portion of the SAME warning

SAME warning.
Your scanner will resume SAME Standby operation 90 seconds
after the SAME warning starts. You may reset standby mode by
pressing the STBY softkey twice at any time.
