Weather alert system

The weather alert function on the radio can alert you to special weather related emergencies. During
an emergency or weather related hazard, NOAA issues an emergency tone that will set off an audible
and/or visual alarm on the radio.
Note:
Hazard warnings are not available in all areas. There are 7 standard NOAA weather channels used
in the US and Canada. The radio receives broadcasts up to 40 miles from transmitting stations.
1. To listen to the standard NOAA weather channels, turn on the radio.
Then press the Source button until the channel number of the weather station (e.g WB7CH) is
shown on the display.
2. Rotate the Tuning control knob to select the programmed channels. There should be one or more
weather service stations broadcasting in your local area. If there is a severe weather or weather-
related emergency, NOAA will update weather broadcast more frequently. If there is a weather
emergency, NOAA will issue an alert tone.
