Testing the Weather Alert Radio

NWR stations conduct regular tests of Alert broadcasting. Tests normally

occur on Wednesdays between 10AM and 12PM unless threatening

weather is occurring. Your local station can be contacted to find out

exact dates and times of tests.
You should make sure your WX500 receives these Test Alerts in its

installed location. This is very important because an emergency alert

broadcast might not trigger your radio even when it seems to be

receiving broadcasts fairly clearly. If broadcast signals are too weak, you

might be able to receive Alerts in one part of a building but not another.
