UNDERSTANDING THE FIPS
CODE
For the purpose of broadcasting
weather information, the NWS has
divided the United States into regions
by state and county. A 6-digit FIPS
code is used to identify each county,
parish, or part of a county. For
example, the code for Tarrant County,
Texas, is 048439. The first digit in a
FIPS code identifies a portion of
Tarrant County. The next two digits
identify the state, and the last three
digits identify the county or parish.
Your Weatheradio can receive all
Ô NOTE Ô
SAME alert signals broadcast within
about a 50-mile radius of where you
program it. To receive SAME alerts and
broadcasts about weather occurring
only in particular counties within that
area, you can program up to 10 FIPS
To get all alerts for your
county, enter 0 as the
first digit of the FIPS
code. To be alerted only
to county notices and
notices for your
codes into the Weatheradio’s
memory. Ô
particular part of the
county, enter your code
(1–9). Your county or
parish may not be
divided.
You can also set the location by directly
selecting a state and county. While
displaying Location Code under Single
or Multiple mode, LOCX ----- (default
with memory blank), press and hold g
for a second. A list of states appear.
Press e or d to scroll through the list.

With the correct state displayed, press
g to view the corresponding county list.
Press e or d to scroll through the
county list and press g to confirm. If
your county cannot be found from the
list, please refer to “Obtaining Your
Area’s FIPS Code(s)”.
Obtaining Your Area’s FIPS
Code(s)
To obtain the FIPS code for the location
where you programmed your
Weatheradio , contact your local
RadioShack store or call the NWS toll
free at 1-888-NWR-SAME (1-888-697-
7263).
You can also obtain a state/county list
of all FIPS codes by visiting the NWS

to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
•

•
Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.

•
Consult your local RadioShack store or
an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your weatheradio.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by RadioShack may cause

PROVIDED HEREIN, RadioShack MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND ANY IM-
PLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THE
WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTIES CONTAINED HEREIN. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED
HEREIN, RadioShack SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY TO CUSTOMER
OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LIABILITY, LOSS OR
DAMAGE CAUSED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE
PRODUCT OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OF
TIME, DATA, PROPERTY, REVENUE, OR PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCI-
DENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF RadioShack HAS BEEN ADVISED
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may
not apply to you.
In the event of a product defect during the warranty period, take the product and the Ra-
dioShack sales receipt as proof of purchase date to any RadioShack store. RadioShack will,
at its option, unless otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by product repair without
charge for parts and labor; (b) replace the product with one of the same or similar design; or
(c) refund the purchase price. All replaced parts and products, and products on which a re-
fund is made, become the property of RadioShack. New or reconditioned parts and products
may be used in the performance of warranty service. Repaired or replaced parts and products
are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. You will be charged for repair
or replacement of the product made after the expiration of the warranty period.
This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to acts of God,
abuse, accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to follow instructions, improper
installation or maintenance, alteration, lightning or other incidence of excess voltage or cur-
rent; (b) any repairs other than those provided by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility;
(c) consumables such as fuses or batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping
or insurance costs; or (f) costs of product removal, installation, set-up service adjustment or
reinstallation.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary
from state to state.
