Product Information
:
Thank you for choosing Midland! Your new WR300 weather radio is the latest in weather and hazard alert monitoring technology, providing you with the information needed to keep you safe.
Your WR300 weather radio has a special receiver that tunes to the 24/7 broadcast issued by the
National Weather Service. The combined All Hazards/Weather Alert broadcast network is the single, most immediate source for comprehensive weather and emergency information available to the public.
This WR300 weather radio has an innovative automatic alert system. In the event of a special warning broadcast, the radio is automatically activated along with a loud tone, a flashing LED indicator and an “alert” message on the LCD. Emergency weather bulletins include alerts about: tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, ice/snow storms and other severe weather. Other emergencies might include: Amber alert, hazardous explosions, fires, chemical spills and other civil emergencies.
In addition, this WR300 weather radio has the “S.A.M.E. Digital Weather/Hazard Alert” feature, providing you with constant monitoring of your localized NWS broadcast. The S.A.M.E. decoding receiver allows you to hear only messages for the area(s) concerning you. You now have a choice as to what information will be brought to you.
We encourage you to read this owner’s manual thoroughly before operating this radio. This manual is a valuable part of your new weather radio. See the “Quick Start
Instructions” section of this manual for the initial weather radio setup and programming.

Programming Notes
:
* Your WR300 can be programmed with up to 23 different S.A.M.E. codes for your county and the surrounding counties of your choice. This ensures you receive alerts for only those counties concerning you.
* Please note: Embedded in an alert message is the amount of time for which the alert is active.
The WR300 will continue to display the alert until the expiration time. Ex: END 12-55P indicates the event ends at 12:55 PM.
Getting your S.A.M.E. County Codes
:
First, determine the counties you are interested in. Then, do one of the following three steps to get the codes: a. The National Weather Service Toll-Free Number provides S.A.M.E. County

Testing the Alert:
To test the alert function to ensure it is working, press the “MENU” button, then press the “UP” arrow until “SIREN TEST” is displayed. Press the “SELECT” button to sound the alert siren.
Press the “SELECT” button again to silence the alarm.
Reviewing Alerts:
The WR300 weather radio can store 10 different alerts (with overlapping effective times) in its memory. If the radio receives a new alert while a previous alert is still in effect, it automatically displays the new alert description. To review past alerts that are still in effect, press the “DOWN” arrow to scroll through the last 10 alerts. If an alert is expired, it will be marked “EXP.”
Test Signals Broadcast by NWS:
All National Weather Service stations periodically transmit test signals. You can find out when your local NWS station broadcasts test signals by calling the NOAA National Weather Service
Forecast Office (listed under “Weather” in the Federal Government section of the telephone book).
During the weekly test signal, the local NWS station will give a list of counties covered by their transmitter. The NWS test signal allows everyone with weather radio receivers to verify the operation of their equipment.
The following test signals may be sent by the NWS during testing: required weekly test, required monthly test, system demo, and national periodic test.
No Reception Warning:
If no alerts are received for 10 days, the display will flash “CHECK RECEPTION” every 30 seconds. If this happens, check your channel settings and county codes for setting errors. If you receive a clear signal from the NWS, try using the “ALL” county code setting to receive all alerts for all counties.
Note: If you have trouble finding reception, please move your radio closer to a window and away from fluorescent lighting.
Page 13 www.midlandusa.com
WR300 Owner’s Manual
AM/FM Radio:
There is an AM/FM radio built into the WR300 weather radio that you can listen to without interrupting the weather radio functions. If an alert is received, the radio automatically switches from the AM/FM radio to the weather radio alert.
Turning the AM/FM Radio On:
Press the “RADIO” button to turn the AM/FM radio on and off.
Changing AM/FM Stations:
Press the “RIGHT” arrow or “LEFT” arrow to scan through the radio stations. When you find a station you like, stop pressing the arrow and the radio will stay on that station.
AM/FM Memory Channels:
You can program 3 AM and 3 FM radio stations into the radio’s memory. To program a memory channel, do the following: a. Turn the AM/FM radio on and use the “LEFT” or “RIGHT” arrow to tune to the desired station.
b. Press the “MENU” button. The “MEMORY” number will flash on the display.
c. Use the “UP” or “DOWN” arrow to choose the desired memory channel you wish to program.
d. Press the “SELECT” button to save your frequency selection to the chosen memory channel.

Ensure that the radio is set to the NWS weather channel in use in your area.
No weather broadcast when you press
WEATHER/ SNOOZE button Contact NWS to ensure they are presently broadcasting.
If in a metal structure, make sure you are close to a window.
If in a weak signal area, you will need an external antenna.
The radio is not responding properly to
NWS weather alert broadcasts
Check to see that you have programmed in the correct S.A.M.E. County Code(s).
Check with the NWS that the tower is broadcasting.
Page 15 www.midlandusa.com
WR300 Owner’s Manual
Reception:
The National Weather Service operates a system of weather and hazard alert broadcasts covering a large area of the United States. Currently, only a few areas are not covered. Typical broadcasts are within reception distance of 25-50 miles of the weather station. Your WR300 weather radio can receive broadcasts from up to 50 miles from the weather station, depending on your location and conditions of weather, terrain, etc. If you find reception is not good in your area, try different locations in your home or office to find a spot of improved reception. Placement near a window usually improves reception.
If a weather broadcast cannot be heard on any of the 7 channels, contact your local NWS office and verify the closest station is on air. Also verify the channel frequencies the station is broadcasting.
If your NWS is transmitting and you are not receiving the broadcasts, you may
need an external antenna. Please visit our website at www.midlandusa.com to view our suggested antenna, the 18-259W VHF Through-Glass Antenna. This antenna improves reception when applied to a window.
Please note: Metal structures are more difficult to receive reception in, because metal interferes with the signal. If you live in a metal structure, you may need an external antenna.

WR300 Owner’s Manual
About NOAA, NWS, & S.A.M.E. County Codes:
In 1994, NOAA began broadcasting coded emergency signals that identify the specific geographic area (such as the county within a state) that is affected by an emergency. Until that time, such specific emergency weather information was not available directly to the public. NOAA transmits the coded emergency signals using a technique called Specific Area Message Encoding
(S.A.M.E.) The WR300 weather radio is designed to receive these S.A.M.E. county code transmissions.
The National Weather service divides the United States by state and county (or parish) and assigns a six digit code number called a FIPS (Federal Information Processing System) code, also known as a S.A.M.E. county code.
You can program the weather radio with up to 23 S.A.M.E. county codes. The weather radio allows you to receive broadcast alerts for all counties within your area, or for up to 23 individual selectable counties. This will eliminate any alerts that are not within your area of interest.
When you program your S.A.M.E. county code(s) into the WR300 weather radio, you eliminate any alerts that are not within those counties. Warnings, watches and advisories of weather and other area emergencies, about 50 different types, will activate the weather radio for only your programmed specific area.
The S.A.M.E. message the NWS sends contains information pertaining to the period for which the alert is valid. NWS can set the active time of the alert from 15 minutes up to 6 hours. When the designated time has passed, the weather radio display message and light will automatically reset to their normal appearance.
