The Midland WR-100 radio may not be alarming when an alert or warning is issued due to the following reasons:
1. Alert Type Setting: If the alert type is set to "DISPLAY" instead of "TONE" or "VOICE," the radio will show the alert on the screen without an audible alarm. 2. Reception Issues: Poor reception of the NOAA weather broadcast can prevent the radio from receiving alerts. 3. Incorrect S.A.M.E. County Code: If the programmed S.A.M.E. county code does not match the broadcasted alert area, the radio will not trigger an alarm. 4. No Active Alerts: If there are no active alerts in the area, the radio will not sound an alarm. 5. Volume or Speaker Issues: If the volume is too low or the speaker is malfunctioning, the alarm might not be heard.
Checking these factors can help resolve the issue.

To enter the 7-digit S.A.M.E. code on the Midland WR-100, follow these steps:
1. Press the “MENU” button. 2. Scroll to “S.A.M.E. SET” and press “SELECT.” 3. Choose “SINGLE” or “MULTIPLE” and press “SELECT.” 4. When “S.A.M.E.01” appears, press “SELECT.” 5. A 6-digit display (“- - - - - -”) will appear with the first position blinking. 6. Use the ▲ button to set each digit and the ► button to move to the next digit.
Although the code has 7 digits, only the last 6 digits (state and county codes) are entered. The radio assumes the first digit (subcounty code), which is usually 0, and does not require it to be entered.
