D Weather alert function
NOAA broadcast stations transmit weather alert tones
before important weather announcements. When the weath-
er alert function is turned ON, the selected weather channel
is monitored every 5 seconds for the announcement. When
the alert signal is detected, the "ALT" and the WX channel
are displayed alternately and a beep tone sounds until the
receiver is operated. The previously selected (used) weather
channel is checked periodically during standby, or while
scanning.
q Select a desired weather channel.
w Turn the weather alert function ON in the Set mode.
Push [SET](TS) to enter the Set mode.
Rotate [DIAL] to select the weather alert option. Then,
while holding down [FUNC], rotate [DIAL] to set "ON".
Push [SET](TS) to exit the Set mode.
e Set a desired stand-by condition.
• Select the VFO or a memory channel.
• Scan or priority watch operation can also be selected.
r When the alert is detected, a beep sounds and the follow-
ing indicator will be displayed.
The above icons are alternately displayed.
t Turn the weather alert function OFF in the Set mode.
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 seconds
when the alert function is turned ON. This is
(approx.)
caused by the WX alert function. To eliminate the interrup-
tion, set the weather alert item OFF in the Set mode.
