NOAA WEATHER RADIO WITH 14-CHANNEL FRS Model: WRF 108 USER’S MANUAL Fig.1 Fig.2 Fig.3 Fig.4 Fig.5 Fig.6 Fig.7 Fig.8 Fig.9 Fig.10 English INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of Oregon Scientifics’ NOAA Weather Radio with 14-channel FRS (Model No. WRF108). Your NOAA Weather Radio with FRS is a portable, easy-to-use, two-way radio with clock and NOAA receiver. You can use the WRF108 to talk over the radio as well as listen to NOAA WX broadcasts and at the same time use it as a clock. Use it at shopping malls, amusement parks, sports events, or at the beach to contact family and friends, or for vital communications in a neighborhood watch. Your NOAA Weather radio with FRS has 14 channels and 38 different CTCSS codes. If the channel you selected is already in use, you can select another channel or use the CTCSS feature. You can talk with a person who has a FRS radio if both radios are tuned to the same channel and CTCSS code. The radio has auto-squelch (FRS only), which means you will not hear anything on a channel unless someone is transmitting nearby on the same channel. You can turn off auto-squelch to hear weaker, distant transmissions. Also, if the radio is idle for a period of time of 2 hours, it automatically shuts off. It turns on again when you press POWER/VOL key for 2 seconds. You can connect an optional speaker/microphone, earphone and charger (not included) to the radio. And, the belt clip lets you take your radio almost anywhere. 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 referred to as an all-in-one hazards radio network. It is viewed as being a single source of comprehensive weather and emergency information. A nation wide network, the NWR consists of more than 480 stations in the 50 US states and near adjacent coastal waters of 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. USING THE RADIO A.

(Fig.10) z Message Codes Used by the NWR When the NWR airs urgent warnings, a digital code known as Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) is included as part of the message. This coding system contains Specific information such as th eaffected localized geographical area and the expiration time of the message. The WR108 retrieves and interprets SAME codes and alerts the user. When SAME codes for a specific region have been entered into the unit, the unit alerts the user of pertinent warning information for the specified region. Once alerted, the subsequent voice broadcast can be heard. At the end of the broadcast message. the listerer will hear a brief digital end-of-message static burst. In stand-by mode, the unit can retrieve messages from a specific location, and then the voice radio will automatically activate so that the voice message can be heard. Several minutes agter th emessage is completed, the unit will automatically deactivate the voice radio and return to th estand-by mode. Note: County codes are available from the NOAA Weather Radio(NWR). To contact NWR by phone, call toll-free:888-697-7263 and follow the voice menu to NWR channels and county codes. The NWR can be contacted via internet at www.nws.noaa.gov/nw/indexnw.htm. Click on the state for which information is desired.
