Make sure that you have all of the parts shown here before
setting up your Public Alert Radio.

If you have the WRB603, the recharging cradle is replaced by the Weather Docking

Station. Please use Section C, D, and E to setup the WR602 Public Alert Radio handset.

NOTE:

 Make sure you complete each step in its entirety and without interruption. This is a timed process. If you do not complete

each step in order and confirm each setting within one minute, the WR602 handset will automatically exit the setup process and
go into Standby mode. If this happens, press the reset button to start the setup process again. It is essential that you complete
