Please Note: the Midland HH54 Portable Emergency
Weather Alert Radio device complies with part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference; (2) This device must accept any interference
received including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
2. If weather stations cannot be heard on any channel,
contact your local National Weather Service office to
verfiy the station is on air and also verify the
CHANNEL and location of the weather station.
3. All National Weather Service stations periodically
transmit test signals. You can find out when your local
NWS station broadcasts test signals by calling the
NOAA National Weather Service Forecast Office
(listed under “Weather” in the Federal Government
section of the telephone book). During the weekly test
signal, the local NWS station will give a list of counties
covered by their transmitter. The NWS test signal
allows everyone with weather radio receivers to verify
the operation of their equipment. The following test
signals may be sent by the NWS during testing:
required weekly test, required monthly test, system
demo, and national periodic test. During a test, the
yellow advisory LED will light up and the “Weekly
Test” or “Monthly Test” message will be visible on the
display. The radio will not sound an audible alert tone
to avoid giving the impression of an actual alarm. The
visual response to the test is confirmation that your
radio is working properly.
4. Mobile home reception is difficult due to the metallic
structure preventing reception. Put your HH54 near
a window.
