Thank you for buying the

RadioShack Portable

Handheld NWR-Same

Weatheradio. It uses

Specific Area Message

Encoding (SAME) circuitry to

provide more complete

information about weather

conditions in your immediate

area, letting you avoid hearing

alerts for geographical areas

that do not interest you. There

are 10 location codes that can

be programmed for multiple

location warnings. The

warnings are indicated by

WARNING, STATEMENT, and

WATCH.

How Your Weatheradio‚ Works

HOW YOUR

WEATHERADIO

WORKS

Traditional weather radios simply

receive the National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

weather broadcast (usually within a 50-

mile radius), thensound an alarm ifany

emergency code was transmitted along

with the broadcast. This means that

people outside an affected area are

often alerted even though their area is

not affected, leading some to ignore

weather warnings that apply to their

own area.

In 1994, NOAA began broadcasting

signals called FIPS (Federal

Information Processing System) codes

along with their standard weather

broadcasts. These codes identify the

type of emergency and the specific

geographic (such as a country)

information about the codes, so you

can determine if the emergency might

affect your area. Only SAME-

compatible weather radios are able to

take advantage of this technology.

Each FIPS code identifies a specific

geographic area defined by the

National Weather Service (NWS), so
