Do not burn or bury it.l Always remove an old or weak battery. Batteries can leak chemicals that candestroy electronic parts.
5USING THE BUIL-IN ANTENNAThe Weather radio’s built-in telescoping antenna lets you receive strong local signals.To use the built-in antenna, lift it up so it is vertical then fully extend it.To improve reception in remote areas, you can connect an external antenna to yourWeather radio using an optional adapter cable with a phone plug to the Weather radio’sEXT ANT jack. Your local TOPAZ store sells a wide variety of antennas. To connect anexternal antenna to the Weather radio, connect one end of the adapter cable to EXTNAT on the back of the Weather radio then connect the other end to the antenna.PROGRAMMING THEWEATHER RADIOThe first time you use your Weather radio, it is automatically set to use the NOAAweather broadcast frequency 162.550 MHz (Channel 1) and receive all SAME alertsignals broadcast within a 50-mile radius of where you installed it.Your Weather radio is preprogrammed to receive broadcast for the FIPS code storedin first memory location (called single mode), and is preprogrammed with the sevennational NOAA broadcast frequencies ( Channels 1-7). Depending on your location,you might need to set it to its multiple mode and select a different channel.Follow these steps to select a different broadcast frequency and set the Weather radioto its single or multiple mode (if necessary), and store or change FIPS codes in theWeather radio’s memory (to narrow the area for which you receive SAME   alerts).1. To turn on the Weather radio, shift the power switch to the left side until it clicks.2. Push the “Off” key for 2 second to Set MODE to PROFRAM. The Weather radio
6displays the last selected weather broadcast channel and frequency number.3. Press WEATHER if necessary to turn on the weather broadcast, then push theVOLUME Up or Down Key so you can hear the broadcast as you make yourselection.Note: If you do not press a key for about 45 seconds during Steps 4-8, the Weather radioexits the programming made and saves only those changes stored before the last keypress. To continue, start over at Step2.4. Press a number key (1-7) to listen to the broadcast on that channel.  The Weatherradio displays the selected channel and its corresponding frequency. Repeat this stepuntil you find the channel broadcasting in your area.Note: If you receive a NOAA broadcast on more than one channel, the one with theBest reception might not be the one broadcasting information for your location. Contactyour local TOPAZ store or the NWS to find out which frequency NOAA is using tobroadcast from the station nearest your location, then select that channel.Channel Frequency(MHz)1 162.5502 162.4003 162.4754 162.4255 162.4506 162.5007 162.5255. Press “Yes” key three times. The currently selected mode (SINGLE or MULTIPLE)appears.6.  To select the other setting (SINGLE or MULTIPLE), press “No”. The setting you
7selected appears.7. Press “Yes”. The FIPS code stored in the first memory location appears.8. To change the code in the first memory location, press “No” key.  ------- appears.Or, to add or change a code in a different position, repeatedly press “Yes” key Untilyou see the first unused memory location or the code you want to change, then press“No” key. -------- appears.9. Use the number keys (0-9) to enter the 6-digit FIPS code you want to store.Note:l If you make a mistake while entering the code press “No” to clear all digits    ( ------ reappears ), then enter the correct digit.l To reset the Weather radio to receive all SAME signals within a 50-mile radius,simply enter 99 in the first memory location.l For easy reference, use a pencil to write down each FIPS code you store in memoryon the supplied label. Then affix the label behind the Weather radio’s back cover.10. Press “Yes” key to store the code in the Weather radio’s memory.If you set the Weather radio to its multiple mode the code (if any) stored in the nextmemory position appears. Repeat Steps 7-9 for each code (up to 15) you want to changeor add.Note: when you press “Yes” key to store a code in the last (15th) memory position,weather alert descriptions appear
811. When you finish, Push the “Off” key for 2 second to Set MODE to OPERATE. Thecurrent alert status appears .TESTING THE WEATHER RADIOFor your Weather radio to be effective, you must place it where it can receive anemergency alert broadcast and where you can hear its alert tone.In the United State, the NWS broadcast a test alert every week on Wednesdaybetween 11 AM and 1 PM . To find out the specific test schedule in your area, contactyour local NOAA or NWS office. These offices are usually listed in the telephone bookunder “US Government, Department of Commerce.”Important: The fact that you get clear reception of a weather broadcast signal does notguarantee that an emergency alert broadcast will trigger your Weather radio’s alertfunction. Be sure you choose the proper location for the Weather radio and regularlycheck the Weather radio to be sure it is operating properly.Manually Testing the Alert ToneTo manually test the Weather radio’s alert tone, turn on the Weather radio, hold downOFF, turn on the Weather radio by shift the power switch to the left until it clicks thenpress ALERT. The Weather radio sounds the alert tone. Then, as the tone sounds, walkaround the area where you keep the Weather radio to make sure you can hear the tone.Important Notes:l To make sure your Weather radio will sound the alert tone when it receives anemergency signal always keep the built-in antenna fully extended.
9l Testing the alert tone only ensures that the Weather radio’s alert tone can be heard.It does not test the Weather radio’s receiver or guarantee you will receive anemergency alert.l If the Weather radio does not sound an alert tone you are either out of rang of thebroadcast or the backup battery is week.l An emergency alert broadcast might not trigger your Weather radio’s alert tone,even if it receives voice transmission clearly or if the alert tone sounds when youmanually test it. Also, if you are in a fringe area, your Weather radio might betriggered by a broadcast when it is placed in one area, but not be triggered if youplace it somewhere else (even close by).To turn on the Weather radio, shift the power switch to the left until it clicks.WEATHER then ALRT (alert) ON appears.Note: VOLUME also controls the Weather radio’s audio broadcast volume. To set, thealert volume, see “Setting the Alert volume” Section.To listen to a Weather broadcast, see “Listening to a Weather Broadcast.”To have to a weather radio sound an alert, see “Using the Alert Function”To turn off the Weather radio, shift the power switch to the right until clicks and thedisplay clears.LISTENING TO A WEATHERBROADCASTYour Weather radio is preprogrammed with the seven NOAA weather broadcast
10frequencies (Channels 1-7). To select a frequency broadcast in your area, follow Steps2-4 and 9 in “Programming the Weather radio”To listen to a weather broadcast, make sure MODE is set to OPERATE, pressWEATHER, then adjust VOLUME to the desired listening level. To turn off the weatherbroadcast, press WEATHER again.USING THE ALERT FUNCTIONTo set the Weather radio to sound an alert when the NWS broadcasts a warning,watch, or statement, hold down ALERT for 2 seconds until WEATHER then ALERTON appears. The Weather radio beeps once.Note:l If you programmed more than one FIPS code into memory, be sure the Weatherradio is set to its multiple mode (see Steps 5 and 6 under  “Programming theWeather radio”). Otherwise, the Weather radio will only receive broadcast for theFIPS code you stored in the first memory position.l If severe weather threatens, do not wait for an alert tone; turn on the weatherbroadcast and monitor the weather information.To set the Weather radio so it does not sound an alert, hold down ALERT for 2 secondsuntil WEATHER ALERT OFF appears. The weather radio beeps twine.Setting the Alert VolumeTo Control alert or tone volume, Press “ Yes Key” for 2 seconds. In this case the“volume Up/Down”  will be used for tone volume control and tone volume level willbe displayed on LCD with beep tone on speaker.
11Changing/Checking the Alert Pattern  You can set the Weather radio to respond to an NWS alert broadcast in one of twoways.VOICE – the Weather radio sounds an alert for about 8 seconds, then automaticallyturns on the weather (voice) broadcast for 5 minutes. Then it returns to standby mode. Italso displays the alert description (such as TORNADO WARNING) until the alert’seffective time received as part of the NWS broadcast code expires. An alert could be ineffect for several hours.(Continuous) ALERT  – the Weather radio sounds an alert and displays an alertdescription until the alert’s effective time expires. To turn off the alert sooner, pressOFF. To turn on the NWS voice broadcast, press WEATHER.Note : When the Weather radio’s alert ends or you turn it off, you hear the NWS alerttone(which sounds different than the Weather radio’s tone) for a few seconds beforeyou hear the voice broadcast.The Weather radio automatically selects the ALERT setting the first time you turn iton. To change the alert pattern setting (or check which setting is currently selected),follow these steps.1. Push the “OFF” key for 2 seconds to set MODE to PROGRAMNote : If you do not press a key for about 45 seconds during Step 2 ~ 4, the Weatherradio exits the programming mode without storing any change. To continue, start overat Step 1.2. Press “Yes” Key once. The currently selected alert pattern (VOICE or ALERT)appears.3. To select the other setting (VOICE or ALERT), press “No” Key. The setting youselected appears.
124. Press “ Yes” key again to store your selection, then Push the  “OFF” key for 2seconds to set MODE to OPERATE. The current alert status (WEATHER ALRTON or WEATHER ALRT OFF) appears.Enabling/Disabling Alert Tones  You can turn on or off some types of alert tones received by your Weather radio. Forexample, you can turn off the alert tone for avalanche watch if you do not live near anavalanche.Notes :l The Weather radio still detects and displays information about alerts even after youdisable the tone for those alerts.l If you set the Weather radio so it turns itself on when it receives a specific warning,disabling the alert tone for that warning also means that the Weather radio will notturn itself on when it receives that warning.You can set the Weather radio so it does not sound an alert tone during only thefollowing types of alerts:Avalanche Warning Hurricane WatchAvalanche Watch Practice/DemoBlizzard Warning Required Monthly TestCoastal Flood Warning Severe Thunderstorm WatchCoastal Flood Watch Severe Weather StatementFlash Flood Statement Special Marine WarningFlash Flood Warning Special Weather StatementFlash Flood Watch Test MessageFlood Statement Unknown StatementFlood Warning Unrecognized code ending in SFlood Watch Volcano WarningHigh Wind Warning Volcano WatchHigh Wind Watch Winter Storm WarningHurricane Statement Winter Storm Watch
When you decide it the alert tone will be on or off toward each of weather situation, current status for alert tone will be showing so as to adjust necessary type of alert only.  In other words, you can turn on or off some type of alert tone by pressing “NO” Key, after checking current status for alert tone to specific warnings.  To save your selection for current status for alert tone (ON or OFF), you should press “YES” Key and then you can check other alert tone status for weather after storing your selection.  (Example) Alert Tone for Winter Storm Warning Owing to the space on LCD, LCD will show as follow,

17Using the Weather radio’s ‘All Signals’ CodeYour Weather radio is preset to use a default “all signals” code of 99, which lets itreceive any weather alert broadcast within its reception range (about a 50-mile radius inmost locations). This code is preset in the Weather radio’ s first memory location.To set the Weather radio to respond only to specific NWS FIPS codes you select,choose the codes (as many as 15) you want to program, program those codes intomemory locations 2 ~ 15, and set the Weather radio to its multiple mode.To reset the Weather radio to use the “all signals” code again, follow the steps under“Programming the Weather Radio” section, setting the Weather radio to its single modein Steps 5 and 6 and storing 99 in the first memory position in Step 9.Reviewing Overlapping AlertsYour Weather radio can store up to three different alerts (with overlapping effectivetimes) in its memory. If the Weather radio receives a new alert while a previous alert isstill in effect, it automatically displays the alert description and sounds an alert for thenew alert.To scroll forward or backward through the Weather radio’s memory and review alleffective alerts, press “Yes” (to scroll backward).Notes:l The Weather radio sounds a high-pitched tone if you try to scroll past the first orlast alert in memory. To continue, press  “Yes” key to begin scrolling in theopposite directionl If the Weather radio receives a new alert while three previous alerts are still ineffect, it stores the newest alert and clears the oldest alert from memory.
18When a Test or Demo Alert Occurs  The NWS sends out weekly test signals, you can use to confirm that your Weatherradio is working properly. To find out the specific test schedule in your area, contactyour local NOAA or NWS office. Those offices are usually listed in the telephone bookunder US Government, Department of Commerce.When the Weather radio’s alert function is turned on and the Weather radio receivesa test broadcast for a FIPS code you programmed into its memory, it responds in one ofthese ways:NWS Alert Type You See You HearDemo Message(sent at random times) Demo Message No soundRequired WeeklySAME Test Weekly Test BeepsRequired MonthlySAME Test Monthly Test BeepsNote : The Weather radio does not turn on an indicator during a test/demo broadcast.LOCKING OUT UNDEFINEDWEATHER DESCRIPTIONS  The NWS might occasionally broadcast several types of weather informationintended for commercial or other non-private use. This information could include, forexample, messages intended for automated weather services (such as those used byradio or TV stations). Your Weather radio’s memory does not contain a specific,corresponding description for the signals related to these commercial weather types.
19Additionally, your Weather radio is designed to recognize all common weather alerttypes currently used by the NWS. The NWS could, however, eventually create andbroadcast new alert types (for which the Weather radio’s memory does not contain aspecific, corresponding description).If your Weather radio receives a signal for a new alert type, it is preset (if the alertfunction is turned on) to display UNKNOWN, the alert description (EMERGENC,STATEMNT, WARNING, or WATCH), and TUNE TV, then sound a siren alert. It isnot set to alert you when it receives a commercial alert type.Depending on your preference, you can follow these steps to change the way theWeather radio responds to new weather alert broadcasts.1. Turn off the Weather radio.2. While holding down OFF, Shift power switch to the left side until it clicks to turnon the Weather radio. TESTMODE appears.3. Press a number key to select the desired setting. The Weather radio tunes to thecorresponding channel, and one of the following appears.You Press : The Weather radio Displays :1CH. 12CH. 23CH. 34CH. 45CH. 56CH. 67CH. 78DEFAULT (reset to default)9DEMO ON or DEMO OFF(the Weather radio’s demo mode
20Note : If you pressed 9 in this step, your Weather radio can also perform these testfunctions while TESTMODE appears:l If you press ALERT, the Weather radio continuously sounds its alert siren. PressALERT again to turn off the siren.l If you press YES, STATEMENT, WATCH, and WARNING light at the same time.l If you press NO, STATEMENT, WATCH, and WARNING turn off at the sametime.l If you press WEATHER, all display characters appear at the same time.4. Shift power switch to the right side until it clicks to turn off the weather radio andstore your selection. Then turn it back on to begin using the new setting.USING THE BACKLIGHTYour Weather radio’s  backlight automatically turns on while you listen to theweather broadcast and for about 10 seconds each time you press a key. For extended usein low light situations, you can set the backlight so it remains on until you turn it off.Note : You can turn on your Weather radio’s backlight so it stays on continuously onlyif the Weather radio is connected to AC power through DC Adapter.Follow these steps to turn the backlight on or off.1. Push the “OFF” key for 2 seconds to set MODE to PROGRAM.2. Within 45 seconds, press  “Yes” key twice so CONTINUO (continuous) andBACKLITE alternately flash on the display, then press  “Yes” key to turn oncontinuous backlight or “No” key to turn it off.
21Note : If you do not press a key for about 45 seconds, the Weather radio automaticallyexits the programming mode.3. Push the “OFF” key for 2 seconds to set MODE to OPERATE.
22UNDERSTANDING FIPS CODES  For the purpose of broadcasting weather information, the NWS has divided theUnited States into regions by state and county (or parish, where applicable) thenassigned a 6-digit FIPS code to identify each county or parish. For example, the codefor Dallas County, Texas, is 048113.  The first digit in a FIPS code identifies the county subdivision, the next two digitsidentify the state, and the last three digits identify the county or parish.Note: Most FIPS codes begin with 0, which means that FIPS code represents an entirecounty. The NWS, however, eventually plans to subdivide some large counties. Whenthat happens, each subdivision will be assigned a digit from 1~9, resulting in codes suchas 148113, 248113, and so on.Your Weather radio can receive all SAME alert signals broadcast within about a 50-mileradius of where you installed it. To receive SAME alerts and broadcasts about weatheroccurring only in particular Counties, within that area, you can program up to 15 FIPScodes into the Weather radio’s memory. For example, this lets you avoid hearing analert that applies to an area within a 50-mile radius but not necessarily to your county orparish.  Obtaining Your Area’s FIPS Code(s)To obtain the FIPS code for the location where you installed your Weather radio,contact your local TOPAZ store or call the NWS toll free at 1-888-NWR-SAME (1-888-697-7263). If you call the NWS, follow the instructions you hear.Note: If you are close to a county or parish line, you might want to obtain the codes forthe nearby counties or parishes.Hint: Since you can program up to 15 FIPS codes into the Weather radio’s memory, youmight want to obtain the codes for other local areas that you frequently travel through(as long as those areas are within a 50 mile radius of your location and within an area
23covered by your local NWS broadcast station). That way, you can program those codesinto the Weather radio and receive broadcasts covering those locations, too.NWS WEATHER ALERTDESCRIPTION  Your Weather radio can display these NWS weather alert descriptions.
