Using the Weather Function
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated channels for use by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Regulatory agencies in other
countries have also allocated channels for use by their weather reporting authorities. NOAA
and your local weather reporting authority broadcast your local forecast and regional weather
information on one or more of these channels. To hear your local forecast and regional
weather information, press WX/ALERT. Your radio scans through the weather band then
stops on the first active weather frequency, and appears on the display. Rotate PUSH/
SELECT to select another weather channel. To stop listening to the weather broadcast, press
WX/ALERT again. The radio returns to the last channel you tuned before you selected the
weather channel.
Using Weather Alert
To set the radio so it alerts you if it receives a weather alert, hold down WX/ALERT for 2
seconds. If the radio receives a weather alert, it sounds a tone. Press any key to listen to the
weather broadcast. To turn off weather alert, hold down WX/ALERT for 2 seconds.
