When a Test or Demo Alert Occurs
The NWS sends out daily and weekly test signals you
can use to confirm that your Weatheradio is working
properly. To find out the specific test schedule in your
area, contact your local NOAA or NWS office. See
“Enabling/Disabling the Alert Tone” on Page 18 for
more information. When the Weatheradio’s alert func-
tion is turned on and the Weatheradio receives a test
broadcast for a FIPS code you programmed into its
memory, it responds in one of these ways:
