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).

WEATHER ALERT
SAME Weather Alerts
NOAA/EC transmit coded weather and civil emergency alerts using the Specic
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.

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:

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,

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 eectively.
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
