Using Triple Watch

Tune to a channel other than Channel 9 or Channel 16,
then hold down 16/9/TRIPLE WATCH for about 2 seconds.
TRI appears and the radio checks Channel 16 every 2
seconds then Channel 9 afterward, then tunes to the
original working channel, checking all 3 channels in order.
Notes:
• If the original working channel is a weather channel,
the radio automatically enters Triple Watch mode.
• If weather alert is activated (see "Tuning Weather
Channels" on Page 15), the radio tunes from the
original working channel to Channel 9 then Channel
16. The radio also checks the active weather channel
for the weather alert tone every 7 seconds.
• If one or more FIPS codes are assigned and weather
alert is activated, the SAME weather function does not
work while the radio is set to Triple Watch mode. The
radio searches only for a 1050 Hz tone.
• The radio also activates Triple Watch when channel
scan is active (see "Using Channel Step" on Page 15
for more information).

Tuning Weather Channels

Briefly press WX/Alert to tune to the active local NOAA
weather channel from any channel. The active weather
channel number and WX appear.
To change the weather channel, repeatedly press
increase it or to decrease it. The radio always returns
to the last weather channel selected. This applies even if
the radio is turned off then turned back on again.

Using Weather Alert Mode

Hold down WX/Alert for about 2 seconds. When the radio is
in weather alert mode, flashes. If FIPS codes are pro-
grammed (see "Programming a FIPS Code" on Page 21),
flashes and the nature of the alert appears on the display.

Using Channel Step

Briefly press STEP/SCAN. The radio steps to the channel
saved into its memory each time you press STEP/SCAN
(see "Saving Channels to Memory" on Page 16).
