8.7.1 NOAA WEATHER ALERT

In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as storms and hurri-
canes, the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends
a weather alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and a subsequent weather
report on one of the NOAA weather channels.
The HX210 can respond to weather alerts: when monitoring a weather chan-
nel; when stopping on a selected weather channel during scanning modes;
while operating on another working channel; or while listening in the FM Ra-
dio mode.
To enable the weather alert function, refer to section "9.1.2 WEATHER ALERT (in
USA and Canada only)".
When an alert is received on a NOAA weather
channel, scanning will stop and the trans-
ceiver will emit a loud beep to alert the user of
a NOAA broadcast. Press any key to stop the
alert.
