Thank you
Congratulations on your purchase of the Midland
HH54 Portable Emergency Weather Alert Radio. All hazards
means the radio is the fastest, most reliable means of
receiving information on life threatening weather such as
tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, ice storms as well as civil
emergencies such as Amber alerts, hazardous explosions,
fires and chemical spills. This information is broadcast by the
National Weather Service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so
you can stay informed no matter what time of day it is. In
addition to all hazards, the HH54 also has S.A.M.E technology
(Specific Area Message Encoding). This gives you the option of
screening out unwanted broadcasts and receiving alerts only
targeted for the geographical area you live in. Midland is proud
to say the HH54 is Public Alert Certified- meaning it has
been tested and approved to meet the Consumer Electronics
Association standards of reliability and quality as a product
carrying public safety warnings. Midland has become synony
mous in the weather industry for safety and reliability. We are
the leading manufacturer of weather alert radios. The HH54
is no exception. It is a quality piece of electronic equipment
skillfully constructed with the finest components. This radio is
designed for reliable and trouble free performance for years
to come. You can rely on your Midland weather radio during
severe weather.
Please Note: We encourage you to read this owner’s manual before operating the radio. This manual is a valuable
part of your new Midland HH54 Portable Emergency
Weather Alert Radio. After the radio is programmed and
operating properly, store the manual in a safe place for
