Uniden MHS450 Radio Owner’s Manual
Note: if the event code is longer than 16 characters, the
display label scrolls across the display bottom then changes
to the abbreviated format. Thus, HURRICANE WARNING
(17 spaces) becomes HURRICANE WARN... and remains.
To verify if the radio is in the ALERT mode, press
and hold WX/ALERT for about 2 seconds. If ALERT
is active, WEATHER ALERT MODE ENABLE scrolls
along the screen bottom. This message appears for
about 3 seconds then returns to the marine standard
screen.
If the radio is set to alert mode and you press and hold WX/
ALERT for about 2 seconds, the radio exits alert mode, and
the screen scrolls WEATHER ALERT MODE DISABLED.
For a listing of the full and abbreviated S.A.M.E. codes, see
the chart following the NOAA Channel Chart in the reference
section of this manual.
