Notes:
• Because of atmospheric conditions, you
might encounter times when the signal
your radio receives does not contain
information relevant to the emergency
level of the alert. This is normal.
• The CB sounds an alert regardless of the
channel setting.
• The CB does not sound an alert while you
are transmitting.
• The weather alert indications remain on
the display until you press
.
OFF
• If the carrier of the current weather chan-
nel is lost, the WX/SIGNAL indicator
flashes. (In CB mode, the CB automati-
cally scans weather channels so it can
detect a weather alert signal. While the
CB scans weather channels, the WX/
SIGNAL indicator flashes until the CB
receives a weather station signal.)
• In the CB mode, the display automatically
changes from the CB channel number to
the weather alert indication when the CB
receives a SAME alert signal. You can
hear your local forecast and regional
weather information immediately. Press
or the PTT (Press To
ACE/ALERT OFF
Talk) button on the microphone to return
to the CB channel number.
Caution: If you are in a rural or fringe area,
your radio might be triggered by an alert
broadcast for one area, but not for another ar-
ACE/
ea.
To verify actual reception, your radio must re-
Sound
ceive a test or emergency alert broadcast. In
the US, the National Weather Service (NWS)
Siren
broadcasts a test alert every week on
Siren
Wednesday between 11 am and 1 pm. For the
Rapid Beep specific test schedule in your area, contact
your local NOAA or NWS office, usually listed
Rapid Beep
in the telephone directory under "US Govern-
ment, Department of Commerce."
