D D Weather alert function

tored each 5 sec. for the announcement. When the alert sig-
nal is detected, the "AL.T" and the WX channel are displayed
alternately and sounds a beep tone until the receiver is oper-
ated. The previously selected (used) weather channel is
checked periodically during standby or while scanning.

OTHER FUNCTIONS
NOTE: While receiving a signal (on a frequency other than
the weather alert ON frequency), the receiving signal or
audio will be interrupted momentarily every 5 sec.
in case the alert function is turned ON. This symptom is
caused by the WX alert function. To cancel these symp-
toms, set the weather alert item OFF in set mode.
