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.

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”.

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.

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

C up to 2 days up to 6 days up to 9 days up to 21 days

We recommend using C batteries as they have a longer life than AA batteries.

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.

2. Raise the two AA battery brackets located at the base of the battery compartment and snap these into place. Ensure the battery ribbon is stored at the base of the battery compartment.

3 Follow the polarity marking (+) indicated in the battery. Insert the batteries and replace the battery compartment door.

4. The battery level will appear on the LCD.

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.

Model: MWR815

External Alert Jack

WEATHER ALERT

SAME Weather Alerts

NOAA/EC transmit coded weather and civil emergency alerts using the Specific

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:

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.

Setting the Emergency Alert Event Level

You can block the siren from sounding on some messages that may not be relevant to your geographic area. For example, a flood warning that may be issued in your county may not affect 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

1. Press until EVENT LEVEL appears.


See page 14-17 for a list of messages that comprise each of these EVENT LEVELs.

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:

Model: MWR815 10

11

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 effectively.

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 configured, 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 to factory defaults, NO ALERT will be displayed. If messages are stored, the respective alert will be displayed with the corresponding color coded backlight color.

1. Press or to view stored alerts when the radio’s clock time is displayed. To display the radio’s clock time, toggle WX. If there is no alert, the following message will flash on the screen.
