Weather mode
In cooperation with the FCC,
NOAA also uses the weather
channels to alert you of other hazards besides weather (child abduction alerts, nuclear, bio-
logical, etc.). In weather mode, the radio monitors one of the ten NOAA weather channels.
If any type of alert is received for your area, the radio sounds an alert tone and displays the
type of alert. In weather mode, the display shows the following:
Weather
mode is on
Flashing: An alert
has been issued
Steady: Weather
Alert Watch is on
Using the radio in weather mode
• You cannot transmit while in weather mode.
• To enter weather mode, press WX-MeM.
• Weather mode can filter out alerts that do not affect your location if the location code (FIPS
code) of the alert is entered in your radio (see page 17). If you have no FIPS codes
programmed into your radio, the radio will notify you of all alerts in any area.
• To turn off the radio's alert tone, press any button.
• To cancel weather mode and return to the previous marine channel, press the WX-MeM
button again.
