location where the number of bars darkened remains to the left of the “\/” indicator on the status LCD.

Once the test completes successfully, the LCD will display “NO THREATS”. The NO THREATS indicates

that Tornado Alert™ passed all internal tests and is now operational. If the “PASS \/ FAIL” screen

continues to be displayed, this indicates Tornado Alert™ has detected activity. This activity may be due

to nearby storms. NOTE – Tornado Alert™ cannot be activated while active weather events are

occurring. Another reason that can cause this condition is man-made interference described above in

“Selecting a Location”. The user should determine if storms are nearby and if so, wait until the storms

are gone and try activating again. If no storms are nearby, try a different location.

NOTE – Since Tornado Alert™ cannot be successful activated while storms are occurring in your area, the

device should be left on continuously. Powering off the device when you leave your home or business is

not recommended. If the device is moved, this procedure should be performed again in the new

location on a clear day to insure no interference is present.

IMPORTANT! Tornado Alert™ cannot be successful activated while storms are occurring

in your area. Activation during a storm will produce errors and inaccurate operation of

the Tornado Alert™ system. If possible, check with other weather sources in your area to

see if a storm is nearby before running this test. If they are nearby, wait for them to pass

before running this test.

NOTE: The Tornado Alert™ system should be left on continuously. Powering off the

device when you leave your home or business is not recommended.
