BASIC RECEIVE FUNCTIONS
Weather channel operation
NOAA broadcast stations transmit weather alert tones before
important weather announcements. When the weather alert
function is turned ON, the selected weather channel is moni-
tored each 5 sec. for the announcement. When the alert sig-
nal is detected, the "WX Alert" blinks and the WX channel is
displayed, and sounds a beep tone until a change is made
within the control screen, or the zWXx button is clicked. The
previously selected (used) weather channel is checked peri-
odically during standby or while scanning.
qRight-click the zWXx button to call up the [WX Alert]
screen.
wSelect the desired weather channel in [WX Alert Channel].

tion will be displayed as at right.

OFF.
NOTE: While receiving a signal (on a frequency other than
the weather alert ON frequency), the receiving signal or
audio will be interrupted momentarily every 5 sec.
in case the alert function is turned ON. This symptom is
caused by the WX alert function. To cancel these symp-
toms, set the weather alert item to OFF in set mode.
