Using the Weather Channels

The radio receives ten National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration weather channels. Although the radio receives
all ten, one channel will be received best due to your
geographic location.
1. Press WX/ALERT to activate the
weather band. The screen displays
Weather Band at the upper left
and the channel number. The fre-
quency of that channel number appears at the bottom
of the screen. You can fi nd a complete listing of the
weather channels in the Reference pages.
Use ▲ or ▼ to change between WX channels. You
will receive one channel in your area better than all
others.
Note: the radio's memory retains the channel that appears
when you switch to WX mode in memory
when you turn off the radio.
2. To switch to the Alert mode, press
and hold down WX/ALERT for
about 2 seconds. WEATHER
ALERT MODE ENABLED scrolls along the bottom of
the display.
If the radio receives a weather alert by means of either a
S.A.M.E by decoding the entered FIPS code or if the radio is
in the marine channel mode, detecting the
1050Hz tone, the radio sounds an alarm
and displays an alert message at the bot-
tom of the screen, such as HURRICANE
WARNING.
