SLEEP BUTTON - Sleeping mode setting WEATHER RADIO SIDE VIEW ABOUT THE NATIONAL WEATHER RADIO SYSTEM The National Weather Service (NWS) is a government agency within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that operates W the nationwide radio network known as NOAA Weather Radio (NWR). NWR is a nationwide radio stations network continuously broadcasting information about all types of hazardous events both environmental and technological. Broadcasts consist of local, regional and marine weather conditions & forecasts that are repeated every few minutes. During emergencies, routine broadcasts are interrupted to report specific warnings. X NWR works with the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Emergency Alert System (EAS), to provide the most complete, single source of nationwide weather and emergency information. Y As a nationwide network, the NWR consists of over 940 transmitters in all 50 US states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands Z and US Pacific Territories. This network also includes Weather Radio Canada which is a part of Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC). When the NWR broadcasts specific warning, a digital code of Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) is included as part of the message. The W. VOLUME KNOB - Selection of the desired sound volume SAME code consists of specific information containing the geographical area affected, the expiration time of the message and the message itself. X. TUNNING KNOB - Selection of the desired frequency Your Weather Radio has been designed to receive and decode warning, watch or non-emergency messages that are broadcast in digital SAME Y. ALERT ON/ OFF - Enables or disables audible Weather Radio code by the National Weather service. Once received, the message will alerts be presented visually and by voice announcement. The SAME code SLIDE SWITCH contains the type of message, country(s) affected, and message Z. HEADPHONE - Jack for headphone or auxiliary/volume expiration time. Your radio should provide reception for up to 40 miles speaker distant from the NWR transmitter depending on terrain and man made JACK structures, either of which can reduce that distance.

    Chapter 1: Introduction OMEGAPHONE® OMA-P1108 Voice Synthesized Monitoring & Alarm System User’s Manual IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Your OMA-P1108 has been carefully designed to give you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the unit: • Read the installation and operating instructions in this manual carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference. • Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the product itself. •To protect the OMA-P1108 from overheating, make sure all openings on the unit are not blocked. Do not place on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat register. • Do not use your OMA-P1108 near water, or spill liquid of any kind into it. • Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed on the AC power transformer. If you’re not sure of the type of power supply to your facility, consult your dealer or local power company. • Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it. • Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock. •Never push objects of any kind into this product through ventilation holes as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. •To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but return it to Omega Customer Service, or other approved repair facility, when any service or repair work is required.

  • Radio Navigational Aids
    RADIO NAVIGATIONAL AIDS Publication No. 117 2014 Edition Prepared and published by the NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY Springfield, VA © COPYRIGHT 2014 BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT NO COPYRIGHT CLAIMED UNDER TITLE 17 U.S.C. WARNING ON USE OF FLOATING AIDS TO NAVIGATION TO FIX A NAVIGATIONAL POSITION The aids to navigation depicted on charts comprise a system consisting of fixed and floating aids with varying degrees of reliability. Therefore, prudent mariners will not rely solely on any single aid to navigation, particularly a floating aid. The buoy symbol is used to indicate the approximate position of the buoy body and the sinker which secures the buoy to the seabed. The approximate position is used because of practical limitations in positioning and maintaining buoys and their sinkers in precise geographical locations. These limitations include, but are not limited to, inherent imprecisions in position fixing methods, prevailing atmospheric and sea conditions, the slope of and the material making up the seabed, the fact that buoys are moored to sinkers by varying lengths of chain, and the fact that buoy and/or sinker positions are not under continuous surveillance but are normally checked only during periodic maintenance visits which often occur more than a year apart. The position of the buoy body can be expected to shift inside and outside the charting symbol due to the forces of nature. The mariner is also cautioned that buoys are liable to be carried away, shifted, capsized, sunk, etc. Lighted buoys may be extinguished or sound signals may not function as the result of ice or other natural causes, collisions, or other accidents.

ITU-R TF.768-2 The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) the continuing need in all parts of the world for readily available standard frequency and time reference signals that are internationally coordinated; b) the advantages offered by radio broadcasts of standard time and frequency signals in terms of wide coverage, ease and reliability of reception, achievable level of accuracy as received, and the wide availability of relatively inexpensive receiving equipment; c) that Article 33 of the Radio Regulations (RR) is considering the coordination of the establishment and operation of services of standard-frequency and time-signal dissemination on a worldwide basis; d) that a number of stations are now regularly emitting standard frequencies and time signals in the bands allocated by this Conference and that additional stations provide similar services using other frequency bands; e) that these services operate in accordance with Recommendation ITU-R TF.460 which establishes the internationally coordinated UTC time system; f) that other broadcasts exist which, although designed primarily for other functions such as navigation or communications, emit highly stabilized carrier frequencies and/or precise time signals that can be very useful in time and frequency applications, recommends 1 that, for applications requiring stable and accurate time and frequency reference signals that are traceable to the internationally coordinated UTC system, serious consideration be given to the use of one or more of the broadcast services listed and described in Annex 1; 2 that administrations responsible for the various broadcast services included in Annex 2 make every effort to update the information given whenever changes occur.

This water clock was five holes in sticks and bones. Scientists believe that they were stories tall and had a very large water wheel. possibly counting the days between the phases of the moon. The first known mechanical clock invented was in the 13th century very similar to the water clock but used mercury and it controlled the drum at a more constant rate. Galileo Galilei was the first to study the pendulum and Christiaan Huygens used his work to create the first clock using a pendulum. Over time they found that the longer the pendulum, the more accurate the time, so that is why pendulum clocks are a tall rectangular shape. Jost Burgi invented the minute hand in 1577 for an astronomer.
