Reference

  You will need the following:
-- Midland All-Hazards Weather Alert Radio
-- 3 AA Batteries
-- A/C Power Adapter

Put your three AA batteries in the back of the weather radio.

Wait for the radio to turn on. When the time 12:00AM appears, your radio is ready to program.

How To Program The Time:

Push the MENU key and the word "TIME" will appear.

Push the SELECT key and 12:00AM will appear. The "12" will be flashing.

Change the hour by using the UP ARROW key or DOWN ARROW key on the radio.

The clock is a 12-hour clock, so you must move the hour to AM or PM.

Continue to use the UP & DOWN ARROW keys to reach the desired time. When you have reached the correct hour, use the RIGHT ARROW key on the radio to move to the minutes.

Repeat the process to get the correct time. When you are at the correct time, hit the SELECT key. The word "TIME" will appear on the screen.

How To Program Your SAME Code:

Next, use your DOWN ARROW key to change the word on the screen to "SAME SET."

Push the SELECT key button.

If you want to program only one code, use your UP & DOWN ARROW keys to move to "SINGLE." Press the select key.

If you want to program multiple SAME codes, use your UP & DOWN ARROW keys to move to "MULTIPLE." Press the select key.

Programming A Single SAME Code:

If you want your weather radio to only be programmed for one county's SAME code, push the DOWN ARROW again and hit SELECT. "SAME 01" will appear on the screen. Push your SELECT key again. "-- -- -- -- -- -- -- --" will appear on the screen, and the first "--" will be flashing.

Using the SAME code for the county you want to program, you will need to use the ARROW keys to move the number up or down to get to your desired number. Once the first number is entered, you will need to use the RIGHT ARROW key to move to the next number.

Continue the process until you have entered each number and hit SELECT, and then press MENU twice.

Use the DOWN ARROW key until you reach the word "CHANNEL." Push the SELECT key twice to get out of the menu.

Locating The SAME Code For Your County:

From the list below, find your county and look for the number that starts with "048." This is the SAME code that you will enter in the weather radio.

Programming Multiple SAME Codes:

If you want to program multiple SAME codes, use your UP & DOWN ARROW keys to move to "MULTIPLE." Press the SELECT key.

The words "SAME 01" will appear on the screen. Hit the SELECT key again.

"-- -- -- -- -- -- -- --" will appear on the screen. The first "--" will be flashing.

Using the SAME code for the first county to be programmed, you will need to use the UP & DOWN ARROW keys to change the "--" to reach the desired number. Once the first number is entered, you will need to use the RIGHT ARROW key to move to the next "--" and start the process over again.

Continue until you have entered each number. Push the SELECT key. The words "SAME 01" will appear again.

Push the UP ARROW key and the message will change to "SAME 02." Push the SELECT key and "-- -- -- -- -- -- -- --" will appear on the screen. Enter the numbers like you just did, now for the second SAME code you want to program.

Continue this process until all codes have been entered. Hit SELECT and then press MENU twice.

Next, you will need to program the channel.

Programming The Correct Weather (Frequency) Channel:

Please note, some areas in North Texas can hear several different channels on their radio. Having the correct frequency programmed is crucial to having your weather radio work correctly.

Click here and/or use the following map to find the correct frequency for your area.



Press the MENU key. Use the DOWN ARROW key until you reach the word "CHANNEL." Push the SELECT key. Use the ARROW keys to find the correct frequency for your area. Often, this is the frequency that has the best reception.

Important Information:

Now that your weather radio has been programmed, you need to plug it into the wall. The batteries are only in case you lose power. Remember to change your batteries twice a year.
