Introduction
JjJJ~
-,, f 17iiir/
The Acurite® Weather Alert Radio will receive encoded civil and
weather emergency alert messages from the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio
broadcast towers. These broadcast stations are located all over
the United States. NOAA operates more than 1000 towers
throughout the 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin islands and
in the U.S. Pacific Territories. Thisweather alert radio uses Specific
Area Message Encoding (S.A.M.E) to identify specific areas, like
a county or localized area of a state. Thistechnology limitsthe
occurrence of "false alarms", that is, alert messages that do not
apply to your area.
The Acurite® Weather Alert Radio will receive all 7 NOAA
weather alert channels. When an official alert is received, the
radio will automatically switch on and you will hear the tone and
audio voice broadcast. The alert type and message will scroll
across the display. One of the color-coded LED'swill also
illuminate- signifying which type of message has been received;
"Advisory" is yellow, "Watch" is orange and "Warning" is red.
The Weather Alert Radio includes an AC power adapter. The AC
power adapter is the primary power source for the radio. In an
emergency, you may need to take the radio with you to a safe
area , the radio features a battery compartment for holding
standard alkaline batteries (not included). This feature also
provides backup power for the radio in the event of a power
failure.
Please read through this manual to learn more about the Acurite®
Weather Alert Radio. Keep this manual for future reference.

Setup
After powering on the radio, your radio is ready to receive
emergency alerts from the national weather service. It is
recommended that your specific radio location code (FIPS code) be
entered, which will limitany "false alarms" (alerts that do not apply
to your location) from being activated. Additionally, you will need to
set your preferences- such as the date and time.
The easiest way to ensure that all of your preferences are set is to go
through the "Quick Setup" process. This only takes a few minutes to
complete.
Ifyou have more experience with weather alert radios, you may
wish to manually enter multiple FIPSlocation codes and manually
select your channel, the "Manual Setup" mode will allow you to do
this.
NOTE: All FIPScodes entered will remain in the radio, even if the
radio power is interrupted due to dead batteries and no power. To
clear all the entered codes and reset the radio to factory settings,
refer to the troubleshooting section in this manual.
Please DO NOT return product to the retail store.

A Federal Information Processing System, or FIPScode is a six digit
code that identifies your state and county/parish in the United
States. The default selection for the FIPScode is "000000" which
allows the radio to respond to all advisories, watches, and warnings.
To customize the alerts you receive to your specific area, you will
need to enter your location's FIPScode.
To enter your code, press the " A " or " T " navigation buttons to
adjust the currently selected (flashing) digit. Press the "
►
"or
