Your new MIDLAND All Hazard/Weather Receiver

Model WR-100 is the latest advance in weather and alert monitoring

technology, providing you with the information you need for your

greatest safety from weather and other hazards. The MIDLAND All

Hazard/Weather Receiver tunes into the 24/7 broadcast issued by the

National Weather Service. The combined All Hazard/Weather Alert

broadcast network is the most immediate source for comprehensive

weather and emergency information available instantaneously to the

public, in advance of TV and monitor bulletins.

This MIDLAND All Hazard/Weather Alert Receiver has an innovative

automatic alert system. In the event of special warning broadcasts, the

monitor is automatically activated along with a loud tone, an LED light

and an “alert” message on the LCD. Emergency weather bulletins

include alerts about tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, ice/snow storms and

other severe weather. Other emergencies might include Amber Alerts,

explosions, fires or hazardous chemical spills.

We encourage you to read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly before

operating this unit. This manual is a valuable part of your new

MIDLAND All Hazard/Weather Alert Receiver. See the “Quick Start

Instructions” section of this manual for the initial Weather Receiver

setup and programming. After this weather receiver is programmed and

operating properly, store the manual in a safe place.

What is S.A.M.E.? Specific Area Message Encoding- S.A.M.E. - Is a

feature in MIDLAND Weather Radios that allows you to program in your

county code or counties codes. This will eliminate any Alerts that are

not within your programmed Specific Area. For example, if you only

want to be informed for alerts within your county just program in your

county code. But, if you want to be informed about counties that are

North, South, East and West of you, you can do so.

9. PROGRAMMING S.A.M.E. COUNTY CODE(S).

Note: In addition to your own county code, you may wish to obtain the

County Code(s) you program into your Weather Receiver will determine

which counties your Weather Receiver will respond to. (The counties

must be within the ± 50-mile broadcast coverage area of your local

NWS.)

A. First, to determine the S.A.M.E. county code(s) for counties in

which you are interested: (1) call the toll-free NWS telephone number,

(2) access NOAA Web Site at: www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm.

1. The National Weather Service Toll-Free Number provides

S.A.M.E. County Codes at:

1-888-NWS-SAME. or (1-888-697-7263)

Codes at: www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm.

Note Internet access is available free of charge at many public libraries

in the United States.

B. Then, when you have the S.A.M.E. County Code(s) you want to,

program them into your Weather Receiver as follows.
