ABOUT THE NATIONAL WEATHER RADIO SYSTEM  
SIDE VIEW  
The National Weather Service (NWS) is a government agency within the  
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that operates  
the nationwide radio network known as NOAA Weather Radio (NWR).  
NWR is a nationwide radio stations network continuously broadcasting  
information about all types of hazardous events both environmental and  
technological. Broadcasts consist of local, regional and marine weather  
conditions & forecasts that are repeated every few minutes. During  
emergencies, routine broadcasts are interrupted to report specific  
warnings.  
W
X
NWR works with the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC)  
Emergency Alert System (EAS), to provide the most complete, single  
source of nationwide weather and emergency information.  
Y
Z
As a nationwide network, the NWR consists of over 940 transmitters in all  
50 US states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands  
and US Pacific Territories. This network also includes Weather Radio  
Canada which is a part of Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC).  
When the NWR broadcasts specific warning, a digital code of Specific  
Area Message Encoding (SAME) is included as part of the message. The  
SAME code consists of specific information containing the geographical  
area affected, the expiration time of the message and the message itself.  
Your Weather Radio has been designed to receive and decode warning,  
watch or non-emergency messages that are broadcast in digital SAME  
code by the National Weather service. Once received, the message will  
be presented visually and by voice announcement. The SAME code  
contains the type of message, country(s) affected, and message  
expiration time. Your radio should provide reception for up to 40 miles  
distant from the NWR transmitter depending on terrain and man made  
structures, either of which can reduce that distance.

You can customize the radio to only receive event messages occurring in  
your specific location. You can program up to nine (9) specific county  
locations based on system FIPS (Federal Information Processing  
Standard) codes you have entered into the radio memory.

Once the unit is powered, it will show all available LCD display segments.  
The Weather Radio display line will remain blank for 2 seconds. Then,

ALERTS SELECTION  
Your Weather Radio contains all NWR events (alerts) pre-programmed;  
many of them are set to ON by default.  
There are three events (alerts) categories may be displayed – Advisory,  
Watch or Warning  
Advisory- an advisory is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic  
event is occurring, imminent or likely. Advisories are for less serious  
conditions than warnings, which cause significant inconvenience and if  
caution is not exercised, could lead to situations that may threaten life or  
property.  
Watch –potential severe weather approaching your area. It does not  
mean severe weather occur, but that the right conditions exist which could  
lead to severe storms. You should be prepared for the weather to  
deteriorate rapidly.  
Warning –severe weather is imminent or present in your vicinity. You  
should immediately take precautions to protect yourself and your family.  
Press WEATHER/SNOOZE button on the main unit to listen a  
NWR broadcast – the icon NOAA will be displayed next to the  
reception status icon [ ]

continue to search for the atomic time signal daily for every hour between  
1:00 am and 4:30 am.  
Once the time signal has been successfully received, the time and date  
will be updated automatically.  
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME  
To enable or disable the atomic time receiver:  
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station  
(WWVB) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits an exact time  
signal continuously throughout the most of the continental United States  
at 60 KHz frequency. The Atomic Time Clock in your Weather Station can  
receive this WWVB signal through the internal antenna from up to 2,000  
miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be  
limited during the daylight hours. The radio controlled clock will search for  
an alternate station that receives the atomic time signal from the NIST  
Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.  
The WWVB tower icon on the unit’s display will flash indicating a radio  
signal reception from the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or  
if the time and date are not set automatically, please consider the  
following:  
Press and hold UP - if atomic time reception is activated, a  
circular tower icon will start flashing next to the clock icon. If  
reception is disabled, the circular tower icon will disappear.

Weak signal, but can be decoded  
Strong signal  
During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically  
less severe and radio signal reception may improve. A single  
daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy  
within 1 second.  
ATOMIC CLOCK  
Immediately after batteries installation, the clock will beep and display all  
available LCD segments for a moment. Immediately after the atomic time  
signal receiver will start searching for the atomic time signal. It usually  
takes between 5-8 minutes.  
Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance  
from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor,  
microwave, etc.  
Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office buildings,  
the received signal may be weakened. Always place the unit near  
the window for better reception.  
NOTE: Do not press any buttons on the unit during auto search as it  
may interrupt product’s operation, and you will need to start the set  
up procedure again.  
Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set  
automatically, and the icon will appear.  
NOTE: At the time of the initial reception allow at least 24 hours for  
the atomic time receiver to pick up the signal. In some cases,  
depending on the location, it may take up to 72 hours  
If the reception is successful and the atomic time signal is received, the  
date and time will be set automatically, and the
