RECEIVING
WEATHER ALERTS
The Weatheradio
generates an alert
when the FIPS code matches the pre-
programmed location code. The
corresponding alert type icon appears
at the top of the display. Ô
In Voice mode, a siren sounds for
about eight seconds, followed by a
voice weather broadcast for five
minutes or until End Of Message
(EOM) is received.
In Tone mode, the Weatheradio
generates a siren for five minutes or
until the End of Message (EOM) is
received.
VIEWING SIGNAL STRENGTH
The Weatheradio
can monitor the
signal availability indicated by

beeps occur. The beep terminates
when a signal is detected again or if
any key is pressed. Ô
Ô NOTE Ô
When
SIGNAL LOSS
appears, press and hold
down MENU. The clock
time appears. Release
