Backup Battery Replacement
LOW BATTERY beeps will sound every 10 minutes when the batteries are low,
dead, or not installed. The batteries should be replaced when the battery
indicator
flashes.
1. Turn the radio upside down and locate the battery door tab. Press the door
tab and gently pull the door towards you to open.
2. For C batteries, remove the batteries by pulling the ribbon attached to
the radio.
3. For AA batteries, remove the batteries by gently pulling them out by hand.
4. Follow step 3 under respective “Battery Installation”.
Note: When the radio is powered by the wall adaptor, alkaline batteries will
last as if they were stored on the shelf. In the event of an extended loss of
commercial AC power, the radio will operate from the battery as follows:
Battery Receiver ON, volume level 4 Weather Alert standby
AA up to 2 days up to 9 days
C up to 6 days up to 21 days
We recommend using C batteries as they have a longer life than AA batteries.
Radio Antenna
Place the radio where it gets the best reception. Adjust the orientation and
length of the antenna for the best reception. The Weather Signal Level icon will
show the signal strength of the weather channel.
External Antennas
You may experience poor reception depending on the distance to the
NWR transmitter. To improve the reception signal, an external antenna
(not included) can be used. The external antenna should be connected into
the WX EXT ANT jack located on the back of the radio.
Powering the Radio
The weather alert radio is designed to provide continuous service during
emergencies. It has a standard wall adaptor to connect to your power outlet
and is the main source of power; however, backup batteries should be installed
for power outages and other emergency preparedness situations. It uses 4 AA
or 4 C batteries (not included).
Connecting to a Power Outlet
1. Connect the wall adaptor cable to the [6-15 V DC] input jack located on the
back of the radio.
2. Plug the wall adaptor into a 110-115 Volt AC power outlet.
Installing C Batteries
1. Turn the radio upside down and locate the battery door tab. Pull back the
tab and lift it then gently pull the door open.
2. Lower the battery brackets and position the ribbon to the left of the battery
compartment.
3. Follow the polarity marking (+/-) indicated in the battery compartment. Insert
the batteries and replace the battery compartment door.
4. The battery level will appear on the LCD.
Installing AA Batteries
1. Turn the radio upside down and locate the battery door tab. Pull back the tab
and lift it then gently pull the door open.

WEATHER ALERT
SAME Weather Alerts
NOAA/EC transmit coded weather and civil emergency alerts using the Specic
Area Message Encoding (SAME) technology. SAME enables you to customize the
weather alert radio to receive only the messages relevant to your geographic area.
By programming your geographic location (State, Province, Territory, County,
Parish, or geographic division) into the radio, you minimize undesired alerts.
How the Weather Alert Works
In the event that a weather alert is released for your set location (s), the
following will occur:
1. The radio’s weather alert siren will sound.
2. The LCD backlight will flash red for Warnings, Orange for Watches and
Yellow for Advisories.
3. The County/Parish/Province and city will scroll across the screen.
4. The expiration time and date will scroll across the screen.
5. The above will cycle continuously until the EVENT expires. The radio will
then default to the “current time” screen against a blue backlight.
The default setting is to receive alerts for any and all locations. The asterisk is used
to indicate the current setting.
Alert Enable

code and the correct weather channel frequency for that location.
To identify the appropriate SAME codes and NOAA channels, visit the NOAA
website: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/Maps/.
To identify the appropriate CLC codes and EC channels, visit the EC website:

issued in your county may not aect your location. You may not want the siren
to sound for a flood warning.
Note: The Public Alert standard requires the receiver to respond always with
the color coded backlight and an audible siren to a minimum of 28 events,
and to respond to the standard set of 67 events as a factory default. Certain
events may not presently be broadcast in all areas.
Enabling Emergency Alert Event Codes

CHECK RECEIVER Error Messages
The weather alert radio will notify of a loss of communication from the
NOAA/EC weather radio broadcast stations with the message:
11 12
Model: MWR815
Model: MWR815
Weekly Test Messages are transmitted from all NOAA/EC weather radio.
Success in receiving these test messages every 7 days is measured by the
weather alert radio. If 10 days elapse without receiving the test message (or
any other type of SAME encoded alerts), the weather radio signal is no longer
being received eectively.
If you receive this error message, turn on the receiver. Check the weather
signal level display for 2 or more bars. Reposition the radio in the room, or
reorient the antenna as necessary to achieve good reception. Check to be
sure the LOCATION settings are correct, and the correct Weather Channel
frequency is being used.
Review any stored messages, noting the dates. Once you have checked the
receiver, the 10 day timer will reset. If the radio is properly congured, you
should not see an error message.
Weather Alert History
The weather alert radio will store up to 10 alert messages in its memory. When
there are 10 old messages stored and a new message is received, the oldest
message will be removed. When the receiver is initially powered on, or reset
