Troubleshooting
One or more FIPS codes are stored,
but the weatheradio responds to
weather alert broadcasts for areas
not covered by those codes.
Make sure the weatheradio is not set
to ALL LOCATION
Make sure the weatheradio is not set
to TRAVEL mode.
The weatheradio’s continuous alert
tone sounds intermittently or seems
to warble.
The weatheradio constantly monitors
the channel you set it to, even while it
is sounding a continuous alert. Each
time a signal is received on the
channel, it pauses briefly to compare
the signal against those stored in its
memory. If the weatheradio pauses
frequently (depending on how often it
receives a signal), it might make the
continuous alert tone sound
intermittent. This is not a malfunction.
No weather broadcast when you
press WX.
Make sure your hand is not holding
the antenna.
Adjust the volume.
The weatheradio is not responding
properly to NWS weather alert
broadcasts.
Make sure the correct FIPS code(s)
are programmed into the memory.
You might be out of the broadcast
range. Move the weatheradio closer
to the broadcast source, if possible.
Make sure the weatheradio is set to
the NOAA channel that is being
broadcast in your area.
If the backup battery becomes weak,
your weatheradio might not sound a
tone when an alert is broadcast. Test
your weatheradio’s reception
periodically, and replace the battery if
the tone does not sound.
CHECK OPERATION
(check operation) appears.
The weatheradio is broadcasting and
has not received a SAME alert signal
for about one week. Make sure the
FIPS code(s) stored in memory are
correct.
