PROGRAMMING THE
WEATHERADIO
Your Weatheradio is preprogrammed to receive
broadcasts for all FIPS codes, and is prepro-
grammed with the seven national NOAA broadcast
frequencies (Channels 1–7).
The first time you use your Weatheradio, it is auto-
matically set to use the NOAA weather broadcast
frequency 162.400 MHz (Channel 1) and receive all
SAME alert signals broadcast within a 50-mile radi-
us of where you installed it.
Depending on your location, you might need to se-
lect a different channel and enter one or two FIPS
codes into the Weatheradio.
Notes:
To stop programming the Weatheradio at any
time during the steps described in this section,
set
PROGRAM/OPERATE
to
OPERATE
. The
Weatheradio saves any valid entries you made.
The Weatheradio will not receive a weather
alert while you program it.
