Your scanner's WX alert warns you of serious weather conditions by sounding an alarm if a
National Weather Service broadcaster in your area broadcasts a weather alert tone.
To set the scanner so it sounds an alarm when a weather alert tone is broadcast, press
FUNC then press WX while you are listening to the WX channel. ALErt appears.
If the scanner detects the weather alert, it sounds the alert for five minutes when it
receives the weather alert signal. After five minutes the alert stops and the scanner beeps
every ten seconds. Press any key except DIM to turn off the alarm. To cancel the weather
alert operation, press FUNC then press WX again.
Notes:
• WX alert is only for receiving a weather alert.
• When the scanner detects a 1050 Hz alert tone, WX alert activates and you hear a
weather alert.
To cancel the WX alert operation, Press FUNC then WX. ALErt disappears.
Note: If you press and hold WX about 1 second, the scanner cancels the weather alert
operation and move to skywarn operation.
