OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
Low Battery indication
We strongly recommend installing backup batteries even unit works in AC
power supply in case AC power fails.
When battery is low voltage, the
indicator on LCD will appear. Please
uninstall the old batteries and install new batteries when these occur.
No Reception Warning
If no alerts are received for 10 days, the LCD will display “NO RECEPTION” every 30
seconds. If this happens, check your county code and channel setting for setting
error. If you receive a clear signal from the NWS, try using the “ALL counties” setting
to receive all alerts for all counties.
Notes on reception:
The National Weather Service operates a system of weather and hazard alert
broadcasts covering a large area of the United States. Currently, only a few areas are
not covered. Typical broadcasts are within reception distance of 25-50 miles of the
weather station. JX-M133 weather receiver can receive broadcasts from up to 50
miles from the weather station, depending on your location and conditions of weather,
terrain, etc. If you find reception is not good in your area, try different locations in your
home or office to find a spot of improved reception.
Placement near a window usually improves reception.
If a weather broadcast cannot be heard on any of the 7 channels, contact your local
NWS office and verify the closest station is on air. Also verify the channel frequencies
the station is broadcasting. If your NWS is transmitting and you are not receiving
the broadcasts, you may need an external antenna to improve the reception.
Please note: Metal structures are more difficult to receive reception in, because metal
interferes with the signal. If you live in a metal structure, you may need an external
antenna.
