Using your Portable Weather Radio
At Home: Be warned of approaching inclement weather so you can take all the
necessary precautions before the storm or tornado arrives! Reception can vary from
room to room. Moving even a few feet can turn a weak signal into a strong one. Place
the radio near a window, preferably on the second floor, away from other electronic
devices. You should always confirm the successful reception of the 24-hour weather
broadcast before deciding where to place the recharging cradle in the house.

Away from Home: When traveling, boating or performing other outdoor activities, be
warned of all hazards that might suddenly head your way. Make sure your radio is set
to “TRAVEL” mode. Your radio will automatically scan for the channel with the
strongest signal. This will allow you to receive all messages in the vicinity you are
currently located.

any given location. Where more than one state is involved,
the state name will always precede the names of the
counties in that state. If the test was missed during the
scheduled time frame, then the test normally takes place

What is a SAME code?
SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) is a digital code that is sent with many warnings, watches, and emergency messages to your weather radio. The SAME code
includes the type of event (Tornado, flash flood, thunderstorm, etc...), the appropriate geographic area (county), and how long the event is valid.

Why is this important to me?
The SAME code includes the applicable geographic area for all messages or alerts. By programming your specific 6-digit SAME code for your area, your radio will alert you
ONLY for emergencies for the counties you programmed. This will allow you to be warned of any nearby hazards within your vicinity.
