Your WR300 can be programmed with up to 23 different S.A.M.E. codes for your county and the 

surrounding counties of your choice. This ensures you receive alerts for only those counties con-

cerning you.

* Please note: Embedded in an alert message is the amount of time for which the alert is active. 

The WR300 will continue to display the alert until the expiration time. Ex: END 12-55P indicates 

the event ends at 12:55 PM.
