PRODUCT INFORMATION

The 74-200 N.W.R./ S.A.M.E. (National Weather Radio/Specific

Area Message Encoding) Weather / All Hazard Monitor provides

you with constant monitoring of your local National Weather

Service broadcast for messages warning you of hazardous

conditions. The NWR/SAME decoding allows you to hear only

messages concerning the area concerning you. You now have a

choice as to what information will be brought to you. No more

will you be awakened to hear of a problem many miles from your

home that will not affect you. A clock with alarm is also featured.

The 74-200 has an emergency battery backup system for use if

you lose power. It will provide up to three hours of operation if

power fails.

The 74-200 NWR/SAME Weather / All Hazard Monitor is the

latest advance in Weather monitoring technology providing you

with the information you need for your greatest safety from the

effects of weather and other external hazards.

•Alert monitor system receives NWR/SAME codes

transmitted by National Weather Service stations

warning of dangerous weather conditions and other

general hazards. The SAME codes designate which

counties or parts of counties are affected by the

individual message. When the alert feature is

NWR-SAME:

In 1994, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

(NOAA) began broadcasting coded emergency signals that

identify the specific geographic area (such as a county) affected

by an emergency. Until that time such specific emergency

weather information was sent in other ways to broadcast stations

and others then relayed to the public.

NOAA transmits the coded weather emergency signals using a

technique called SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding). The

Midland 74-200 7-channel weather/ all hazards monitor is

designed to receive these SAME transmissions.

Your Midland 74-200 can be programmed with up to 15

predefined state/county codes that will define which notices

broadcast by your NOAA weather station will cause the radio to

alert you. Warnings, watches and statements of weather and other

area emergencies, about 40 different types-will activate the radio

if one or more location code programmed into your unit is

included in the SAME message.

Also included in the SAME message is the amount of time for

which the message is effective. The 74-200 will continue to

display the alert until its time expires.

You don’t need to wait for the 74-200 to give you an alert. Just

find the NWR station broadcasting to your area from the 7

available channels. You can listen at any time, day or night to the

latest weather information from the National Weather Service.

EMERGENCY POWER

To install the emergency backup battery, turn the unit off and

disconnect it from the AC power adapter. Remove the cover by

pushing the battery door in the direction of the arrow.

Install a 9-volt alkaline battery (Eveready 522 or equivalent, not

supplied). Observe the battery polarity (+ and -). Replace the

battery cover. (Rechargeable batteries are not recommended

because the 74-200 will not charge the battery.)

INITIAL SETUP

Connecting power –

The AC power adapter is required for normal operation if the

radio is to be in service for more than a few hours. Plug the wall

adapter into a 110-115 Volt AC (standard house current) outlet.

Connect the cord end to the DC-12Volt power jack on the back of

the unit.

A backup battery as stated above is also recommended. The

condition of the battery is monitored by the radio. When

REPLACE BATTTERY appears on the display, the battery has

been discharged and should be replaced. Do not leave a dead or

weak battery in the radio. Do not leave a battery in the radio

when it is not in use. The battery may leak and possibly damage

your unit. Dispose of batteries properly.

Antenna -

The telescoping antenna on the back of the radio should be

positioned vertically and extended to its full length. In most cases

this antenna should provide good reception of your NWR

broadcast.

In some cases especially in remote areas an external antenna may

be used to improve weak reception.

NOTE: The National Weather Radio service operates

Weather Broadcast systems covering a large area of the

United States. Some areas are not included. Check the

directory enclosed for weather broadcast availability.

Your 74-200 can receive broadcasts from the Weather Stations up

to 50 miles. Hills and certain terrain can reduce reception. An

external antenna can improve range. If your city is listed as

having a Weather Service Station but you do not receive it please

call your local Weather Service to confirm they are broadcasting

(Sometimes these stations are shut down for maintenance). If your

local Weather Service is transmitting and you are not receiving

the broadcasts, you may need an outdoor antenna.

What is a FIPS Code:

The NWR divides the United States and territories by state and

county (or parish) and assigns a six digit code number called a

FIPS (Federal Information Processing System) code or also

known as a NWR/SAME county code. The first digit identifies

subdivision. The next two identify the state or territory, and the

last three identify the county. For example the code for Clay

county Missouri is 029047. The“047” indicates the county, the

“29” indicates the state, and the “0” indicates the subdivision of

the county. In this case and most cases the code will have a zero

for the first digit, indicating that no subdivision is in use. The

NWS plans to introduce subdivisions of some counties in the

future, assigning digits 1 through 9 to the parts resulting in codes

like 529047.

Acquiring FIPS codes for Your Area:

The FIPS codes can be found by calling the NWS toll free

number

1-888-NWS-SAME

(1-888-697-7263)

Automated instructions will guide you to the numbers you

need.

The FIPS codes and much more information can be found by

way of the Internet at www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm

Note: You might want to obtain the codes for other counties

close to you or those you might frequently travel

through. The counties still must be within the coverage

area of your NWS broadcast.

This is what to expect when you call the NWS number.

You will be prompted to enter your state. We suggest

entering the entire state to expedite the process. Next you

will be prompted to enter the county. Again spell the entire

county. We suggest you locate several counties surrounding

you especially the county in the direction most of the storms

will be coming from. When you have entered the county,

the system will ask you to confirm what you entered is

correct. Be ready to write the number. The system tells you
