GETTING STARTED GETTING STARTED Before operation, please study the manual to get familiar with basic functions and features of the unit. The unit does not have an On/Off switch and the LCD will illuminate once the batteries are inserted. However, the radio can be set to NOAA-on, NOAA stand-by, NOAA-mute, or NOAA-off positions. Note:Keeping the radio permanently on, will consume substantially more power. Subsequently, NOAA stand-by is recommended when the user is not listening to radio broadcasts. INSTALLING THE BATTERIES The unit uses 3 x AA 1.5V alkaline batteries. 1. Gently push toward to open the battery door 2. Flip-up the battery door and insert with new batteries strictly according to the polarities shown 3. Replace the battery door DISPLAY MODES There are three lines of display indications: 1 st line displays clock 2 nd line displays variables Alarm 1/Alarm 2/Temperature/Calendar by pressing (DISP/SNZ/SET) button 3 rd line displays radio station frequencies, pre-set memory, and NOAA channel indicator when channel is being set. Note:Before setting any data, please note that if no data is input within 15 seconds, the original data will resume on the display. HOW TO SET THE ALARMS ALARM 1 1.

OPERATION GUIDE HOW TO PROGRAM COUNTY CODES SAME county codes are required to selectively receive weather and environ- mental alerts for a specific county, and need to be entered into the ESP2100. Up to nine selected SAME codes can be entered. The first step in programming SAME codes requires the user to select the option of receiving (ALL) warnings or selected warnings. Selecting (ALL) will result in the ESP2100 broadcasting all alerts and warnings issued on a particular radio frequency which can encom- pass a large geographical area of many counties. To receive warnings for a specific county, that county code must be programmed into the ESP2100. Note:It is recommended that the user program the ESP2100 with specific codes of interest or need in order to receive alerts and warnings pertinent to only those counties. Selecting (ALL) of the county code will result in the ESP2100 receiving all of the messages of an entire transmission region. These regions are quite large and encompass about 5,000 square miles. Display fields permit up to nine county codes to be entered. The user can select less than nine codes by leaving the unused fields empty. TO PROGRAM THE COUNTY CODE 1. Press and Hold (DISP/SNZ/SET) for 2 seconds, then press (DISP/SNZ/SET) button 5 times to enter county mode. 2. Press (STR/RCL) button to set county from 1 to 9 3. Press Up/Down (+/- tuning) to set 1 st digit, then press (DISP/SNZ/SET) once to advance to 2 nd digit and so on to repeat this step until all 6 digits completed. 4. When finished, wait 15 seconds for display to return to normal. DESCRIPTION OF SAME CODES SAME codes are comprised of 6 columns. STATE-COUNTY CODING: The 3 digits on the far right identify the specific county. Each county within a state will have an independent three-digit code. Note:To receive all of the alerts for a given state, insert 000 into the county section. STATE CODES: The next two-digits, to the left of the county code, are for state coding. Each of the 50 US states has its own two-digit code. 9 OPERATION GUIDE ALARM 2 1. Press and Hold (DISP/SNZ/SET) for 2 seconds, then press (DISP/SNZ/SET) twice (to set Alarm 2) 2.

The numbers of one (1) to nine (9) in the far left column of a SAME code identifies specific sub-sections of a county. If the county has not been subdivided, the first digit of the county code will be zero (0). (See “Description of SAME Codes”) 11 OPERATION GUIDE COUNTY SUB-SECTION CODE The last digit on the extreme left is the county subsection. A county may be broken into nine subsections; each number between one to nine represents a specific county subsection. Note:If the county subsection code is stated as 0, then that county is not sub sectioned. To receive all of the alerts for a given county, insert 0 into the county subsection field.

If the interference goes away after you turn off your radio, it is the cause. Here are some tips to help elimi- nate the interference: • Rotate or relocate the radio. • Increase the distance from the equipment being interfered with. • Contact the manufacturer of your equipment for assistance. If you cannot eliminate the interference to devices in other households, the FCC requires that you stop using your radio until the interference can be eliminated. 13 OPERATION GUIDE HOW TO USE THE RADIO 1.
