Midland Metal WR400 Weather Alert Radio Dual Alarm Clock

Product Description

The MIDLAND METAL WR400 is a weather alert radio with a built-in dual alarm clock designed for residential and light commercial emergency preparedness use. It monitors all 7 NOAA and Environment Canada weather channels and uses S.A.M.E. (Specific Area Message Encoding) digital technology to receive targeted alerts from the National Weather Service for a defined geographic area. The unit sounds an 85dB alert siren when warnings are issued and features color-coded alert level indicators so users can assess severity at a glance. It stores up to 10 previously received all-hazards and weather alerts for review. Licensed electricians, emergency managers, and safety-conscious facility operators are the typical end users.

The WR400 is suited for residential homes, small businesses, and facilities where reliable weather monitoring is required. It programs up to 25 counties or provinces and covers 80 different emergency alert types, making it applicable across a wide range of geographic and jurisdictional setups. The integrated AM/FM radio and dual alarm clock with buzzer option allow the unit to serve as an everyday clock radio in addition to its emergency monitoring function. A USB output port lets users charge devices directly from the radio, adding utility during power outage preparedness scenarios. The unit is Public Alert Certified and recommended by the Department of Homeland Security for emergency preparedness planning.
