The Whistler Group SC04 Manuel D’Utilisation

Weather Features

While scanning, your radio will check your Weather 
Priority channel periodically for the All Hazards 
Warning Alert Tone (WAT). If the WAT is received, 
your scanner tunes to the Weather Priority channel, 
sounds an alert, and flashes the LED (RED=warnings, 
YELLOW=watches, and BLUE=tests and 
administrative messages) until the 1050 Hz WAT 
begins, followed by the voice portion of the alert.

NOTE: The included antenna is optimized for 
general purpose scanning. Verify your signal 
strength or connect an external antenna.
To use weather radio mode:

1.  Press WX. The scanner quickly locates an active 

weather radio frequency. 

2.  You can use the 4-direction keypad to search for 

other weather radio transmitters. 

3.  To activate Weather Priority Mode, locate the 

strongest weather radio transmitter in your area 
and press 

PRI. 

SAME Standby

The National Weather Service precedes all weather 
alerts with a digitally encoded Specific Area Message 
Encoding (SAME) signal that designates specific alert 
areas. To define your alert area, you can program 
the SAME code for your area. 

NOTE: If no SAME location codes are saved, your 
radio will alert on all messages received.

A list of SAME location codes can be found online at:  
www.nws.noaa.gov

A list of event codes can be found online at:

SAME codes can include numbers and letters. The 
standard text entry is used to enter both numerical 
and extended SAME codes.
