Optional Codes
The definitions below explain how a receiver should react to future alert messages that at the time this standard was published
were not identified.
It is expected that all future watch codes will end in A, that all future emergency codes will
end in E, that all future statement codes will end in S and all future warning codes will end in W.
Implementation of an algorithm using these wildcard event codes would enable the receiver to respond to any additional event
codes that might be transmitted in the future.
Devices that implement the functionality described in this standard, and that include an option for the user to turn this
functionality on or off, must have ALERT ENABLED (i.e. functionality turned on) as the default mode, and must be shipped from
the factory in that mode.
For items marked ENABLED the device must provide audible, visual or external indication of the alert.

AM or FM Radio
AM Radio:
The highly integrated IC chip supports worldwide AM band reception from 520 to
1710 kHz using a digital low-IF architecture with a minimum number of external
components and no manual alignment required. This digital low-IF architecture
allows for high-precision filtering offering excellent selectivity and SNR with
minimum variation across the AM band.
 With the radio ON press and release the AM/FM button to select AM or FM radio.
 Press the <TUN> button to increase or decrease the radio frequency.
 Hold the <TUN> button to search for the next available station.
FM Radio:
The FM receiver is based on the proven FM tuner. The receiver uses a digital low-IF
architecture allowing the elimination of external components and factory
adjustments. The IC chip integrates a low noise amplifier (LNA) supporting the
worldwide FM broadcast band (64 to 108 MHz).
 With the radio ON press and release the AM/FM button to select AM or FM radio.
