TONE ALERT RADIO PROGRAM Page 16 of 23 ATTACHMENT 3 EMERGENCY ALERT SENTINELTM RADIO OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS (Page 1 of 2)
When radio station WHUD FM 100.7 sends an Emergency Alert System (EAS) activation signal, the EMERGENCY ALERT SENTINEL TM radio automatically turns on the speaker so you can hear the emergency alert message. At the end of the message, the station sends an end-of-message signal that turns off the speaker and returns it to "READY" status. Located on the front of the Sentinel are four lights that indicate the status of the unit.
YELLOW RED GREEN Two GREEN lights indicate power and station reception.
A large RED alert light will flash whenever an actual EAS emergency announcement has been broadcast. It will also flash after an FCC-required monthly test has been broadcast. (NOTE:
radio speaker turns off after end of message).
A YELLOW light indicates that the FCC-required weekly test signal has been received. This is your weekly reminder that the Sentinel radio is properly tuned and receiving EAS messages.
(NOTE: Speaker does NOT turn on for weekly tests).
Following weekly and monthly testing, reset the test indicators by repositioning the slide switch momentarily to the Reset position, and verifying the red and yellow light are not lit.
(CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE)
IP-EP-AD12 Rev: 2 TONE ALERT RADIO PROGRAM Page 17 of 23 ATTACHMENT 3 EMERGENCY ALERT SENTINEL T RADIO OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Page 2 of 2 The EMERGENCY ALERT SENTINEL T radio includes the following instructions which are also attached to the side of the radio:
OPERATION & TESTING OF THE EMERGENCY ALERT SENTINELTM The FCC requires that a weekly test and a monthly test be conducted withthe Emergency Alert System (EAS)..
" Once a week, at random times and on random days of the week, your local radio station broadcasts an EAS test. The EMERGENCY ALERT SENTINEL TM will respond to this test by solidly lighting the YELLOW weekly test light that will remain on until it is manually reset.
- Once a month, also on a random basis, a special monthly test message will be broadcast.
For this monthly test, and for any actual alert message, the EMERGENCY ALERT SENTINEU M will activate its speaker and the large RED light. At the end of the message, the speaker will turn OFF; leaving the RED light flashing until it is, manually reset. This is an indication that your unit-has received a monthly test or an actual emergency broadcast.
Placing the switch on the front of the unit in the RESET position and then returning it to the READY position performs a manual reset of the unit.
The RESET position also allows the user to test all lights and the speaker.
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND TESTING Install batteries (six "AA") in the compartment on the lower back of the EMERGENCY ALERT SENTINELTM as a backup in case you lose electric power. Remember to check or change batteries on a ('e-o#ular basis.
You ca n, check battery operation by unplugging the AC power cord from the radio and placing the READY/RESET switch on the front of the radio to the "RESET' position. The radio station should be heard at the volume set during original set up. Ifthe volume is reduced or has not been reset, replace the batteries. Ensure the radio is placed in a location-that allows good reception and allows you to hear when an EAS message is transmitted. Once battery operation is verified, return the READY/RESET switch to the "READY" position and plug the AC power cord back into the radio.
Also replace the batteries if there has been an extended loss of electric power. An additional set of batteries is included with your radio.

As part of the Indian Point Energy Center Alert Notification System, Entergy has installed sirens in the 10-mile area around the power plant. These sirens are one of several ways that local emergency management officials would alert residents of an emergency at Indian Point.
The sirens are a signal to turn on radios or televisions to Emergency Alert Systems (EAS) stations and listen for instructions and information-.
EAS is used by government officials to broadcast emergency information and instructions on what actions, if any, you should take for protection against severe weather, fires, transportation accidents or an emergency at Indian Point.
You live in an area where the siren system volume may be less than ideal. Therefore, to further ensure your awareness of an emergency at Indian Point we are offering you the opportunity to receive (free of charge)an emergency alert radio which delivers EAS messages.
Please complete the enclosed postage-paid card. Also, please indicate whether or not you would like to receive a radio. Finally, please sign the card.
If you indicate that you want a radio, it will be shipped directly to your residence with all appropriate instructions for use and operation.
