Use Weather Radio

Available for the Rino 530 only, the Weather Radio
provides a constant update of the weather conditions. The
Weather Alert feature further enhances the Weather Radio
by automatically detecting any weather alert tones if you
are not actively transmitting or receiving with the radio.

and press the Thumb Stick In or select the Radio Page
Option Menu button. Press the Thumb Stick In when
Use Weather Radio is highlighted to turn on the weather
radio. You can also access the Weather Radio through the
Shortcuts Menu.
When the Weather Radio is on, a "Ready To Receive
Weather" message displays if no signal is present or the
squelch is set too high. A "Receiving Weather" message
is displayed if weather is being received, if squelch is too
low, or monitor is on. The Weather Radio has a separate
squelch setting from the FRS/GMRS radio. Refer to Page
11 for instructions on setting the squelch for weather
radio.
