Using Weather Alert (SAME)

(SAME) Using Weather Alert
Your scanner has been primarily designed to be a
radio scanner. While it incorporates weather alert as
one of its features, we strongly recommend that you
not use the scanner as your sole means for receiving
emergency alerts. Your local electronics retailer
carries several weather radios specifically designed
for this function.
Your scanner allows you to search for a local NOAA
weather broadcast and set it to alert when a SAME
weather alert is broadcast on a NOAA channel.
You can also program SAME codes into the scanner
and set a weather channel as a priority channel.
In the following sections, you can also access the
weather menu from Hold mode by holding
pressing Wx.

Searching For a Weather Broadcast

Menu
Weather Scan
The scanner starts scanning the preprogrammed
weather frequencies, and stops on the first signal.
If this station is weak, rotate the scroll control to check
for other weather broadcasts in your area.
Note: NOAA broadcasts are continuous broadcasts.
You will only lose reception if you move out of a
coverage area. If the signal is lost, the scanner
resumes searching for a weather transmission.

Fire Tone Out Operation

Menu
Your scanner can be set up to respond to fire
tone-outs that use standard two-tone sequential
paging. You can save up to 10 tone-out settings.
The scanner continuously monitors the setting you
select and alerts you if a transmission is received that
matches it.
