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.

locations based on system FIPS (Federal Information Processing
Standard) codes you have entered into the radio memory.

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.

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.

•
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
