Testing the Weather Alert Radio
Your local NOAA weather station regularly schedules testing periods.
Contact them to find out the exact date and time to test your siren.
Testing your radio is very important because an emergency alert broadcast
might not trigger your radio alert tone, even if it receives the audio broadcast
clearly. If you are in a fringe area, you might be able to receive the alert tone
in one part of your house but not another. Make sure you test it in the location
you want to leave it.
The Alert indicators on the radio do not turn on during a
test broadcast. Only the statement siren sounds and the
message displays.
