Setting the Weather Channel
Your radio receives weather frequencies:
1. In weather mode, press Menu/Lock button until
weather channel number flashes.

good reception in your area.

Setting the Weather Alert
Your radio can be set to respond to NOAA Weather
Radio emergency messages. A special alarm tone
sounds an alert and turns on the weather receiver to
give you immediate weather and emergency
information.
1. In weather mode press Menu/Lock button twice until
displays.
2. Press or to select On/Off.
3. Press the PTT button or Menu/Lock button to exit the
weather menu set up.
4.
Press Mode button to return to two-way mode. If you
activate Weather Alert and return to two-way mode
is display.
Note: When the weather channel is activated, either
manually or after receiving an alert, and no
buttons are pressed for 5 minutes, the
weather mode automatically revert to two-
way mode.
As with two-way radio reception, weather channel
reception depends on how close you are to a
transmitter and whether you are indoors or
outdoors. Because weather channels are
transmitted without codes, they may contain static
or noise. Weather Alert does not function while
actively transmitting or receiving in two-way mode.
