About NOAA
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 ER102 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 you local NWS office
and verify the closest station is on air. The web site is http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/.

Selecting a Weather Channel
• The ER102 has 7 NOAA weather channels to choose from.
• Use the 7 position WX Channel slide switch to find the strongest weather channel in your
area (usually only one of the channels).
Note: In strong reception areas, the antenna does not need to be fully extend-
ed. Only in low reception areas is this necessary.
Activating
Weather Alert Mode
The ER102 has 2 different weather alert types to choose from: Alert or Flash.
• Move the slide switch labeled WX ALERT to one of the following 3 positions:
- OFF: Turns the weather alert feature OFF.
- ALERT: This alert type will sound an audible siren noise for 8 seconds then returns to
the broadcast mode currenty in use. To hear the NWS alert broadcast
when the radio receives an alert message, you must switch the band to WX.
- FLASH: This alert type will flash the LED flashlight and sound an audible siren noise
when an alert message is received. This is perfect for the hearing impaired.
Note: The SIREN mode is a safety feature only. This sounds an audible tone
when selected.
