User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the compact Public Alert Radio

(WR103NX) from Oregon Scientific™. The WR103NX is

a multi-function device that operates on the same radio

frequencies used by the National Weather Radio (NWR).

With an EarlyAlert system, users are alerted to weather

and other environmental dangers. This small, lightweight

device is constructed of durable

materials and has a

receptionrange ofup to50 miles(64 km).

It is also equipped

with a digital clock and daily alarm.

The 2-line liquid crystal display (LCD) is easy to read.

Switching from 1 display mode to another is a 1-step

procedure, and the electroluminescent (EL) backlight

ensures that nighttime warnings can be seen in low light

levels.

ABOUT THE NATIONAL WEATHER RADIO

SYSTEM

The National Weather Service (NWS) is an agency

withinthe NationalOceanic &AtmosphericAdministration

(NOAA) that operates a nationwide network of radio

stations known as the NOAAWeather Radio (NWR). The

NWR radio system broadcasts warning information for

all types of hazards both natural and technological.

Working in conjunction with the EmergencyAlert System

(EAS), NWR is an all-in-one hazards radio network and

isconsidered tobe thesingle sourceof allcomprehensive

weather and emergency information.

A nationwide network, the NWR consists of more than

800 stations in the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S.

Virgin Islands and U.S. Pacific Territories. Broadcasts

are designed to meet local needs. Routine programming

is repeated every few minutes and consists of local

forecast, regional conditions and marine forecasts.

Additional information, including river stages and climatic

data, is also provided. During emergencies, these routine

broadcasts are interrupted to report specific warnings,

watches or other critical information.

GETTING STARTED

TheWR103NXLCD displaywilllight uponcethe batteries

are inserted. To turn the LCD display on or off, press and

hold the NOAA key for 2 seconds.

To conserve power, the radio can be turned off, set to

NOAAstandby, NOAAmute, or NOAAoff modes instead

of NOAA on.

NOTE LeavingtheradioinNOAAonmode willconsume

substantiallymorepower.Tosavepower,itisrecommended

that the WR103NX be on NOAA standby when the user

is not listening to radio broadcasts.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

The WR103NX uses 3 UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V alkaline

batteries.

shows when batteries are low.

NOTE The non-volatile flash memory enables the unit

to store your settings in the event of temporary power loss.

NOTE Do not use rechargeable batteries. It is

recommended that you use alkaline batteries with this

product for longer performance. Please dispose of used

batteries properly to prevent harm to the environment.

Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts

ofwater.Becauseofthistheywillfreezeinlowtemperatures

ofapproximately10˚F(-12˚C).DisposableLithiumbatteries

have a much lower threshold for temperature with an

estimated freezing range of below -40˚F (-40˚C). The

LiquidCrystal Display in outdoorthermometers will remain

operational to -20˚F (-28˚C) with adequate power.

Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors

such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may

temporarily reduce the effective range of the unit. If the

unit’s performance fails due to low temperature, the unit

will resume proper functioning as the temperature rises to

within the normal temperature range (i.e. no permanent

damage will occur to the unit due to low temperatures).

DIFFERENT DISPLAY MODES

TheLCDdisplays differenttypes of information depending

upon the display mode. Display modes can be subdivided

into 2 basic categories:

1. Clock Display Mode: Relates to functions of time and

date, shows current time, date or alarm time and

status for either alarm.

2. Radio Status Mode: Displays information specific to

the early-warning functions of the radio.

To alternate between various time / date displays:

Press MODE to advance the second line through the

time, date and alarm displays.

NOTE Eachpress will advance thedisplay sequentially.

To alternate between various radio-status displays:

Press NOAA button to scroll through the NOAA mode

options (on, standby, mute, or off). The NOAA mode is

displayed on the top line of the LCD.

EARLY WARNING ALERT SYSTEM

The early warning system uses radio signals to alert the

user to environmental dangers. A built-in radio receiver

will respond to 7 specified signal channels. To use the

early warning function, select 1 of 4 options to determine

the activity status of the radio receiver.

Radio-status options are:

•Radio ON [

NOAA

]

The radio is ON and voice messages can be heard

continuously.

•Radio Standby [ ]

The radio is in Standby and will switch to the ON

position when an alert signal is received.

•Radio Mute [ ]

The radio is in Standby and the LED will flash red to

indicate that the unit has received an alert signal.

Voice messages cannot be heard until the unit is

switched to the ON position.

•Radio OFF

The radio is turned OFF and the unit will not respond

to alert signals.

To select radio settings:

Press NOAA to alternate between various radio status

settings. Each press will advance the setting by 1 unit.

Current time Alarm 1

Alarm 2Current date

NOAA OFF NOAA ON

NOAA Standby NOAA Mute

To listen to an alert signal from the radio mute

position:

Press NOAA until the unit enters the radio on position

and adjust the volume level if necessary.

MESSAGE CODES USED BY THE NWR

When the NWR airs urgent warnings, a digital code

known as Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) is

included as part of the message. This coding system

contains specific information including the localized

geographical area affected and the expiration time of the

message. The WR103NX retrieves and interprets SAME

code messages and alerts the user. When SAME codes

for a specific region have been entered into the unit, the

unit alerts the user to relevant warning information for the

specified region. Once alerted, a voice broadcast can be

heard.At the end of the broadcast message, the listener

will hear a brief end-of-message static burst.

In Standby mode, the unit will retrieve messages from a

specificlocationand thenthevoice radiowillautomatically

activate so that voice message can be heard. Several

minutes after the message is completed, the unit will

automatically deactivate the voice radio and revert to

Standby mode.

FINDING LOCAL NWR CHANNELS AND

COUNTY CODES

Successful operation of the WR103NX requires that the

user obtain appropriate NWR radio channels and SAME

codes for a specific county or region.

To contact the NWS by telephone:

1. Phone 1-888-NWR-SAME (1-888-697-7263).

2. Follow prompts through a simple voice menu.

To obtain NWS radio channels and SAME codes on

the internet:

1. Locate www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm

2. Click the State for which information is needed.

For example, clicking on “Montana” will give a list of

information relevant to the State of Montana including

the names of counties, SAME codes, NWR transmitter

locations, the frequency of the transmitter, the strength

of the signal in WATTS, and any remarks as applicable.

Example of the first 10 county radio channels and

SAME codes for Montana:

NOTE Many counties have been subdivided into as

manyas9 smaller subsections.The numbers 1 to9 in the

far left column of the SAME code identifies specific

subsections of a county. If a county has not been

subdivided, the first digit of the county code will be zero.

CHANNEL CORRESPONDING RADIO FREQUENCY

Asmentioned in thesection “Finding localNWR channels

and County codes”, a toll-free phone number or Internet

website are available to locate county code information.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC AREA MESSAGE

ENCODING CODES.

A SAME code is broken into 6 fields of numbers.

003043

Code for northeast

sub-section of Cochise County

Code for Arizona

Code for Cochise County

County code for Cochise County, Arizona

PROGRAMMING “SAME” COUNTY CODES

SAME county codes are required to receive weather and

environmental information, and need to be entered into

the WR103NX. Up to 6 specific SAME codes can be

entered into 6 display fields.

NOTE The system can only alert the user to weather or

warning information after SAME county-code information

has been entered and enabled.

When the county code display is first entered, the user

will see a display field providing the option of selecting all

(ALL) or none [----] of the county codes. Selecting ALL

will set the unit so all of the warnings and weather

messages from a specified channel can be received. If

none [----] is selected the unit will receive warning or

weather information only from the specific regions that

have been specified with respective county codes.

NOTE It is recommended to select a SAME code field

between (1-6) and then enter a specific code for that

field. SelectingALL will result in the unit giving warnings

for regions that are not relevant to the user. These

regions are quite large and can encompass about 5,000

square miles (13 sq km).

6 display fields permit up to 6 county codes to be entered.

The user can select less than 6 codes by leaving the

unused display fields empty.
