Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of the

Midland WR-120 All Hazards Alert Weather Radio with S.A.M.E.

All Hazards means the radio is the fastest, most reliable means of receiving

information on life threatening weather such as tornadoes, hurricanes,

oods, ice storms as well as civil emergencies such as Amber alerts,

hazardous explosions, res and chemical spills. This information is broadcast

24 hours a day, 7 days a week so you can stay informed no matter what

time of day it is.

In addition to all hazards, the WR-120 also has S.A.M.E. technology (Specic

Area Message Encoding). This gives you the option of screening out

unwanted broadcasts and receiving alerts only specically targeted to the

area in which you live.

Midland is proud to say the WR-120 is Public Alert Certied - meaning it has

been tested and approved to meet the Consumer Electronics Association

standards of reliability and quality as a product carrying public safety

warnings. Therefore it is a quality piece of electronic equipment, skillfully

constructed with the nest components and is designed for reliable and

trouble-free performance for years to come.
