Weather mode with Weather Alert Watch
Because weather mode already monitors the weather channels, you don't need Weather
Alert Watch to check the weather channel every seven seconds. If you activate Weather Alert
Watch while operating in weather mode, it operates as a type of "sleep mode": the radio stays
on the weather channel and mutes the speaker. If an alert is detected for your area, the radio
sounds an alert tone and turns the speaker back on. This mode is very useful when you are
anchoring for the night but want to stay informed of any hazards in your area.
To turn Weather Alert Watch on or off, press and hold CALL-MenU while the radio is idle.
Select Setup and then WX Alert Mode. Use CHAnneL UP and CHAnneL DoWn to choose
WX Alert Mode setting ON or Off.

Monitoring Weather Channel WX08
ing in weather mode, the radio checks
channels 16 and 9 every two seconds;

checks channel 16.
