MANUAL SETUP
The volume control buttons are located under the display. The
volume level is shown on the display, provided the radio is not
“SILENCED”.
Volume Control
If you wish to edit your previously entered SAME# or FIPS code, this
is where you may do so. Press the “OK” button to edit your FIPS
code.
To edit your code, press the “ ” or “ ” navigation buttons to
adjust the currently selected (flashing) digit. Press the “ ”
navigation button to move to the right to adjust the next digit.
Press the “OK” button once you are finished editing your 6 digit
location code (SAME#/FIPS code)
The display will then read “ADD ANOTHER FIPS CODE”. Because
NOAA transmission areas overlap, you may want to set more than
one S.A.M.E location. This is especially true if you live near the
border of a county-you may want to receive alerts from both. If you
wish to add another FIPS code, use the “ ” or “ ” navigation
buttons to choose “YES”. Press “OK” to confirm your selection. Enter
in up to 10 total FIPS codes into memory in the same manner you
entered your first FIPS code, using the navigation buttons.
NOTE: Entering FIPS codes only allows the radio to receive the
alerts that are being transmitted from your local station. Entering a
code from a distant state WILL NOT allow you to receive alert
messages from that state.
