SAME MESSAGES

The WR601 receives SAME warning messages in 3 classiﬁcations

depending upon the level of emergency: Warning, Watch and

Advisory. In addition to these 3 classiﬁcations, there is another

type of message - Test. The purpose of this NWR service is

to assist you in verifying that your WR601 NOAA weather

radio is set-up and working properly. Each week the National

Weather Service Ofﬁce will broadcast a test message in

SAME format. To receive the Test message, your WR601

needs to be in NOAA-on, NOAA-standby, or NOAA-mute

mode with a county code and NWR channel selected and

programmed into the radio. If your WR601 is properly set, a

ﬂashing “Test” icon will be displayed on the LCD when a Test

message is received. The “Test” icon will continue
