Weather Radio Mode

Weather radio mode allows you to receive weather broadcasts
from your local weather service anytime of the day.
To use weather radio mode, simply press the
keypad. The scanner will quickly scan and lock on to the first
active weather radio frequency it receives. You can use the  or
 keys on the 5-way pushbutton pad to force the radio to look
for other weather radio transmitters. It is generally best to select
the weather radio transmitter that provides you with the strongest
signal. You can use the signal meter to help you chose the best
weather radio transmitter for your area. While operating in
Weather Radio Mode, your scanner will alert on SAME
messages that match the SAME location codes you have
entered, or all SAME messages if you do not enter any SAME
location codes.

Weather Priority Mode

Weather Priority mode samples the specified weather frequency
periodically while scanning to see if the All Hazards 1050 Hz
Warning Alert Tone (WAT) is present. If the WAT is present, the
scanner will sound an alarm and tune to the specified weather
frequency to monitor the nature of the alert.
To activate Weather Priority Mode, follow the steps above listed
above in Weather Radio Mode to find the strongest weather
radio transmitter for your area. Once the radio is tuned to the
