4.4.5 Receiving on the Weather Channels

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
broadcasts continuous weather reports and severe weather alerts, as
needed. The RAY215 is programmed to receive 10 NOAA weather channels
and sound an alarm if a weather alert is received.
The Weather Channels consist of Channel 0 through Channel 9. To switch
between the Working Channel and the current Weather Channel, press the
FUNC key followed by the 6/WX key. While the Weather Channel is active,
the WX indicator appears in the LCD display and the frequency group
indicator disappears.
If the channel number is changed while in the Weather mode, the new
channel number is stored in memory upon exiting Weather mode. To exit
Weather Mode, press CLR, or FUNC followed by 6/WX.
Note: Weather operation is available only in US frequency mode and
can only be heard in the US and Canada.

4.4.6 Selecting the Channel

Two methods are available for selecting the channel: inputting the channel
with the numeric keypad then pressing the ENT key, or using the Channel
UP/DOWN key on the side of the handset. Both methods are applicable to
the three frequency groups on the Working Channel.
Using the Channel UP/DOWN Key
Pressing the Channel UP key increments the current channel number by
one for each keyclick. When the highest channel number is reached, the
channel scrolls to the lowest number and increments from there. Pressing
the Channel DOWN key decrements the current channel number by
one for each keyclick. When the lowest channel number is reached, the
channel scrolls to the highest number and decrements from there. Channel
numbers not available in a frequency group are skipped.
If the Channel UP/DOWN key is pressed and held for at least a half second,
channels automatically change every 100 milliseconds.
Using the Numeric Keypad
To select a channel, input the desired number on the keypad. For 5 seconds
the channel number flashes on the LCD display. If the ENT key is pressed
during this 5 second interval, the channel change is implemented.
