ENINTRODUCTIONABOUT THE NATIONAL WEATHER RADIOSYSTEMThank you for selecting the compact Public Alert Radio(WR103NX) from Oregon Scientific . The WR103NX isa multi-function device that operates on the same radiofrequencies used by the National Weather Radio (NWR).With an Early Alert system, users are alerted to weatherand other environmental dangers. This small, lightweightdevice is constructed of durable materials and has areception range of up to 50 miles (64 km). It is also equippedwith a digital clock and daily alarm.The National Weather Service (NWS) is an agencywithin the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration(NOAA) that operates a nationwide network of radiostations known as the NOAA Weather Radio (NWR). TheNWR radio system broadcasts warning information forall types of hazards both natural and technological.Working in conjunction with the Emergency Alert System(EAS), NWR is an all-in-one hazards radio network andis considered to be the single source of all comprehensiveweather and emergency information.The 2-line liquid crystal display (LCD) is easy to read.Switching from 1 display mode to another is a 1-stepprocedure, and the electroluminescent (EL) backlightensures that nighttime warnings can be seen in low lightlevels.A nationwide network, the NWR consists of more than800 stations in the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S.Virgin Islands and U.S. Pacific Territories. Broadcastsare designed to meet local needs. Routine programmingis repeated every few minutes and consists of localforecast, regional conditions and marine forecasts.Additional information, including river stages and climaticdata, is also provided. During emergencies, these routinebroadcasts are interrupted to report specific warnings,watches or other critical information.2

ENLiquid Crystal Display in outdoor thermometers will remainoperational to -20 F (-28 C) with adequate power.INSTALLING THE BATTERIESThe WR103NX uses 3 UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V alkalinebatteries.Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factorssuch as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold maytemporarily reduce the effective range of the unit. If theunit’s performance fails due to low temperature, the unitwill resume proper functioning as the temperature rises towithin the normal temperature range (i.e. no permanentdamage will occur to the unit due to low temperatures).DIFFERENT DISPLAY MODESThe LCD displays different types of information dependingupon the display mode. Display modes can be subdividedinto 2 basic categories:shows when batteries are low.NOTE The non-volatile flash memory enables the unitto store your settings in the event of temporary power loss.NOTE Do not use rechargeable batteries. It isrecommended that you use alkaline batteries with thisproduct for longer performance. Please dispose of usedbatteries properly to prevent harm to the environment.Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amountsof water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperaturesof approximately 10 F (-12 C). Disposable Lithium batterieshave a much lower threshold for temperature with anestimated freezing range of below -40 F (-40 C).

This coding systemcontains specific information including the localizedgeographical area affected and the expiration time of themessage. The WR103NX retrieves and interprets SAMEcode messages and alerts the user. When SAME codesfor a specific region have been entered into the unit, theunit alerts the user to relevant warning information for thespecified region. Once alerted, a voice broadcast can beheard. At the end of the broadcast message, the listenerwill hear a brief end-of-message static burst.1.Locate www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm2.Click the State for which information is needed.For example, clicking on “Montana” will give a list ofinformation relevant to the State of Montana includingthe names of counties, SAME codes, NWR transmitterlocations, the frequency of the transmitter, the strengthof the signal in WATTS, and any remarks as applicable.In Standby mode, the unit will retrieve messages from aspecific location and then the voice radio will automaticallyactivate so that voice message can be heard. Severalminutes after the message is completed, the unit willautomatically deactivate the voice radio and revert toStandby mode.FINDING LOCAL NWR CHANNELS ANDCOUNTY CODESSuccessful operation of the WR103NX requires that theuser obtain appropriate NWR radio channels and SAMEcodes for a specific county or region.8

Weather instruments are used to measure and record the weather. Weather instruments can be found in weather stations on land. The Met Office has hundreds of weather stations all over the UK. Weather instruments are also found at sea. They are found on some ships, but mainly on weather buoys designed to monitor weather and sea conditions.
The alert function is for the I2C-bus interface only. In interrupt mode (TM 1), the ALERT pin can be connected as an SMBus alert signal. When a controller detects an alert condition on the ALERT line, the controller sends an SMBus alert command (00011001) to the bus. The device acknowledges the SMBus alert command and responds by sending its
