Using Weather Alert (SAME)
Your BCT15 has been primarily designed as a multi-band, general services
scanner. While it incorporates a weather alert ability as one of its features, we
recommend that you not use the scanner as your sole means for receiving
emergency alerts. Your local electronics retailer can supply a selection of weather
radios that are dedicated to weather service monitoring including SAME alerts.
Such radios can be more dependable for this application.

Your scanner allows you to search for a local NOAA weather broadcast and set it
to alert when a SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) weather alert is
broadcast on a NOAA channel. You can also program SAME codes into the
scanner and set a weather channel as a priority channel.

• If you travel to a new area, be sure to initiate a new WX Scan to determine the
best weather channel for that new location.
Turning Weather Scan Alert On/Off
In weather alert mode, your scanner functions as a severe weather warning radio.
This is especially useful when your area is expecting severe weather conditions
late at night. When you set the scanner to weather alert mode, it holds on the
weather channel, but does not play the channel’s audio. If it detects a weather
alert, it sounds a tone, displays information about the weather alert, and turns on
the audio so you can hear the weather broadcast.
