My motorola has an emergency alert button on top, when pressed and held it sounds an alarm on all other radios near it. we pushed it to test and it works well and is a cool feature. however, the call tone it was set on when we tried it, the coyote noise, sets off the alert on the other radio when we use it! whats going on?

Setting the Alarm
1. Press and hold the 'Alarm/Sleep/Snooze' button to enter alarm mode.
2. 'Alarm Status' will be displayed and 'ON' or 'OFF' will flash on the second line of the display. Use the right hand rotary control to change the display to 'ON' or 'OFF' as required and press the right hand rotary control to confirm.
Stop the Alarm
When the alarm sounds press the 'Standby' button on the top of the radio. Alternatively, you can press 'Alarm/Sleep/Snooze' on the top of the radio.

Turn off the Alarm
Follow steps 1 and 2 in 'Setting the Alarm' and select 'OFF' in step 2.

Snooze function
When the alarm sounds, you can press the 'Alarm/Sleep/Snooze' button on the top of the radio. 'z' will be displayed in the bottom right of the display and the alarm will sound again in approximately 5 minutes.

This clock has 2 alarms to set Alarm 1, switch alarm 1 to the "set" position and make sure alarm 2 is pushed to the "off" "radio" or "cathedral" position, press and hold the "alarm" button on top while pressing the "f.fwd" or "rev" button to set the alarm....to set Alarm 2, do the opposite of the set buttons and repeat...to set the time just hold the time button down while pressing "f.fwd" or "rev"...hope that wasn't too confusing.

Press the WEATHER/SNOOZE button to turn on the weather radio. Then press the "UP" or
"DOWN" volume button to select desired listening level. (Note: Turning the volume all the way
down [where no bars show] puts the radio into silent mode.)

Hope that helps resolve the issue.

• To get your alert radio to come on when there is a weather alert first you needed to find the right NOAH frequency to turn on automatically to.

1. Extend the antenna fully.
2. Turn on the radio.
3. .Press the "WB" button at the top of the radio.
4. Turn up the volume and press the ^ or v button to cycle through all 7 of the weather channels.
5. WB and CH will appear at the top of the display., with 1-7 next to CH.
6. Select the strongest channel you can hear (if you can hear more than one channel. Usually only one channel is heard).
7. The strongest one is the broadcast from your area.
8. Now adjust the volume you want the radio to turn on in the event of an emergency.

• Now once you have the weather frequency set for the radio to turn on to, we need to make it able come turn on in an emergency.

1. Press the ALERT/WB button at the top of the radio.
2. The alert light shines in the upper left corner of the radio.
3. The audio will disappear but the radio is still on.
4. It will monitor Noah until an emergency occurs and at that point a siren or a voice will alert you. Then you press the WB button to hear the alert.

Program the Midland 74-109 Weather Radio
a) Turn unit on. Extend the antenna. Adjust volume up slowly; Do you hear anything? If not, try replacing the 9 volt battery with a fresh one, in the accessible battery compartment underneath the unit. Repeat above steps.
b) If no sound is heard, turn unit over and look for "WEATHER" slide switch on bottom. With unit on & volume adjusted to comfortable hearing level, slowly slide switch down (or up) through various frequencies [1)162.550, 2) 162.400, 3) 162.475, 4) 162.425, 5) 162.450, 6) 162.500, 7) 162.525] until voice transmissions are heard. This should be the closest National Weather Service (NWS) broadcast for your area. Check the NWS website at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/nwrbro.htm for your state, click on the state name, and look for the site name or site location nearest you. The frequency for that site should be the strongest, and appropriate for your area.
c) You can set the alert tone, for special weather alert broadcasts, on the bottom of the unit on the slide switch marked "ALERT". Set the switch to the desired type of alert: 1) LED [LED on top of unit (marked ALERT) lights up when alert is broadcast-no siren tone/alarm is heard] 2) LED & ALARM [LED lights up and alarm/ siren tone is heard] 3) VOICE [LED on top of unit lights up and voice broadcast is heard, only; no siren tone/alarm is heard].
d) Be sure to press the "ALERT" button on top of the unit and leave the volume at a comfortable listening level to hear weather alerts for your area (Alert LED on top of unit lights up to show Alert function is active). You can test the present volume level by pressing the "TEST" button. Be sure to press the "ALERT" button again after listening to the volume level to re-set the Alert function. You can listen to weather broadcasts anytime, by pressing the "WEATHER" button. After listening, be sure to re-press the "ALERT" button to reset the Alert function.
e) 9 volt battery life should last about 6 to 7 months, depending on how much unit is used an number of alerts received. Replace battery every 6 months, or when you replace your smoke alarm battery, or at beginning and end of daylight savings time. A 12 volt AC adapter to replace the battery, can be used. One should have been supplied with unit. If not, a replacement can be found at Radio Shack.
f) This should complete your Midland Weather Alert Radio Model 74-109 programming.
