Test Signals Broadcast by NWS
All National Weather Service stations periodically transmit test signals. You
can find out when your local NWS station broadcasts test signals by calling
the NOAA National Weather Service Forecast Office. During the weekly
test signal, the local NWS station will give a list of counties covered by their
transmitter. The NWS test signal allows everyone with weather radio receivers
to verify the operation of their equipment.
The following test signals may be sent by the NWS during testing:
REQUIRED WEEKLY TEST, REQUIRED MONTHLY TEST, SYSTEM
DEMO, and NATIONAL PERIODIC TEST.

No Reception Warning

If no alerts are received for 10 days, the display will flash CHECK
RECEPTION every 30 seconds. If this happens, check your channel settings
and county codes for setting errors. If you receive a clear signal from
the NWS, try using the ALL county code setting to receive all alerts for all
counties.
Note: If you have trouble finding reception, please move your radio closer to
a window and away
from fluorescent lighting.

AM/FM Radio

There is an AM/FM radio built into the WR400 that you can listen to without
interrupting the weather radio functions. If an alert is received, the WR400
automatically switches from the AM/FM radio to the weather radio alert.

Turning the AM/FM Radio On and Off

To turn the AM/FM radio on, press the AM/FM button. If you are listening
to the weather band, you must first mute the weather band by pressing the
WEATHER/HAZARD button. To turn the AM/FM radio off, press and hold
the AM/FM button for 1 second. Pressing the AM/FM button while already
in AM/FM mode will toggle between the AM and FM bands.

Tuning the AM/FM Radio

To tune the AM/FM radio you can manually tune the stations by pressing
either the ▲ or ▼ arrows. Pressing and holding the ▲ or ▼ arrows
will quickly scroll through stations until you release the button. To scan
automatically to the next station that has a strong signal, press the ◄ or
►arrow.
