Press and release the WX/BAND key again to return to normal operation.
Note:
1. Weather broadcasts can only be heard in the US and Canada.

Weather Alert Operation
Weather Alert is toggled ON and OFF by pressing and holding WX/BAND
button in the weather mode. The ALERT icon illuminates.
When Weather Alert function is enabled and the radio is tuned to the normal
working channel, the last-used weather channel is checked every 30 seconds
for weather alert tone. If the alert tone is detected, the WX and ALERT
indicators flash and a short alarm tone sounds.
The radio automatically turns to the currently-monitored WX channel where
the weather alert has been detected. The alert is detected in all modes of
operation (Standby, Dual and Tri Watch, Scan, etc.)
