INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the compact Public Alert Radio
(WR103NX) from Oregon Scientific™. The WR103NX is
a multi-function device that operates on the same radio
frequencies used by the National Weather Radio (NWR).
With an Early Alert system, users are alerted to weather
and other environmental dangers. This small, lightweight
device is constructed of durable materials and has a
reception range of up to 50 miles (64 km). It is also equipped
with a digital clock and daily alarm.
The 2-line liquid crystal display (LCD) is easy to read.
Switching from 1 display mode to another is a 1-step
procedure, and the electroluminescent (EL) backlight
ensures that nighttime warnings can be seen in low light
levels.
ABOUT THE NATIONAL WEATHER RADIO
SYSTEM
The National Weather Service (NWS) is an agency
within the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) that operates a nationwide network of radio
stations known as the NOAA Weather Radio (NWR). The
NWR radio system broadcasts warning information for
all types of hazards both natural and technological.
Working in conjunction with the Emergency Alert System
(EAS), NWR is an all-in-one hazards radio network and
is considered to be the single source of all comprehensive
weather and emergency information.
A nationwide network, the NWR consists of more than
800 stations in the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands and U.S. Pacific Territories. Broadcasts
are designed to meet local needs. Routine programming
is repeated every few minutes and consists of local
forecast, regional conditions and marine forecasts.
Additional information, including river stages and climatic
data, is also provided. During emergencies, these routine
broadcasts are interrupted to report specific warnings,
watches or other critical information.
