Midland Radio 74-200 Weather Radio User Manual


 
15
NOTE: The 74-200 has enough memory to store 15 “FIPS”
codes.
The next display after VOICE/ALERT will display six numbers.
These numbers will determine the areas or counties that your 74-
200 will be set to respond to SAME messages. See “Acquiring
FIPS Codes for Your Area” for how and where to find the codes
for your area.
To change the first code displayed,(this will usually be “999999”
this provides all county alert in your area) press and release the
YES button to overwrite the code displayed or no to keep the
code. If you pressed YES the display will now show “_ _ _ _ _ ”.
Press and release the number buttons to enter the FIPS code you
want. When the display shows the correct number press and
release the YES button. This accepts the code you entered and
will go to the next code slot. If you make a mistake while entering
the code, press and release the NO button to clear the digits then
reenter the code. After you press and release the YES button, the
display will show “000000” if no other codes are programmed. If
there is a code in the next slot, decide if you want to keep the
code or overwrite the code (see above). If you press YES the
display will go to “_ _ _ _ _ _ “ asking for another code. Proceed
as you did for the first code. When you have entered all the
desired codes, press and release the “Program” button to store
your settings.
Reviewing stored “FIPS” codes
Enter the program mode as described earlier. When the “FIPS”
codes are displayed, press and release the “NO” button repeatedly
