SETTING S.A.M.E .
Codes in the US, CLC Codes in Canada
• S.A.M.E. = Specific Area Message Encoding
• CLC = Canadian Location Codes
A six-digit code instructs the radio only to receive an ALERT when the
code is programmed in. There are far too many S.A.M.E and CLC codes
to include them all in this manual. We therefore provide the following
to assist you in looking up the code for your area.
Look up a United States county code at the following web site:

Look up a Canadian CLC code at:
http://www.msc-smc.ec.gc.ca/msb/weatheradio/transmitter/index_e.cfm
Your radio can be set for one (SINGL) to 23 (MULTI) codes, or can be set
to receive ALL coded information sent from any transmitter, if you’re
within range. When you set codes, it will only pick up alerts when you’re
in that county or within reception distance of the signal. ALL, MULTI
or SINGLE COUNTY will appear in the lower left side of the display,
depending on how you have set it.
If you want to receive all alerts:
To set single or multiple codes:
