If the radio receives a WX ALERT signal from a designated NOAA
station while in AM/FM or GMRS/FRS mode, the radio will beep for
20 seconds, the ALERT icon will appear blinking on the display, and
the FLASHLIGHT and the display illumination will blink together. If
this happens, you should set the BAND switch to the WX position to
listen for any weather alert broadcast.
The ALERT icon will remain blinking on the display when it
receives a WX ALERT signal unless the BAND switch is set to
WX mode or any button is pressed. This is to remind the user
that a WX Alert signal has been received, in case they missed it.
To turn the NOAA WEATHER (WX) ALERT off, press the
MENU/SOS button once while in WX Band. The ALERT icon will
appear on the display while on the right an "on" icon appears. Select
"oF" by turning the TUNING knob. To confirm, press the PTT or
MENU/SOS button.
SETTING THE RADIO TO AM/FM RECEIVER MODE
To set your radio to AM/FM RECEIVER mode, move the BAND
switch to the AM or FM position. The LCD will show the current AM
or FM channel setting.
Note: When switching from Weather or GMRS modes to AM or FM
radio, you may notice a delay before the radio tunes into a station.
This is normal operation and is not an indication the radio is not
working. You may also notice this delay when Powering the Radio
ON in AM or FM modes.
CHANNEL SELECTION (AM/FM BAND)
Turn the TUNING knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to select the
AM or FM frequency. Turning and holding the TUNING knob will
make the radio scan for the frequency continuously until it receives a
strong signal.
SETTING THE RADIO TO CLOCK MODE
To set your radio to CLOCK mode, just turn the POWER/VOLUME
switch to OFF. The display will show the current time setting.
