Setting the Weather Channel

Your radio receives weather frequencies.

1. In Weather mode, press the Menu/Lock button until the weather channel number blinks.
2. To select the appropriate channel with good reception in your area, press the + or - button.
3. To confirm the channel and exit menu, press the PTT button. You can continue the set-up by pressing the Menu/Lock button.

Setting the Weather Alert

Your radio can be set to respond to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (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 the Menu/Lock button twice until the Weather Alert icon is displayed.
2. To select on or off, press the + or - button.
3. To exit the weather menu set-up, press the PTT button or the Menu/ Lock button.
4. To return to Two-Way mode, press the Mode button. If you activate the Weather Alert and return to Two-Way mode, the radio displays the Weather Alert icon.

Note:

• The weather mode automatically reverts to Two-Way mode when the weather channel is activated, either manually or after receiving an alert, and no buttons are pressed for five minutes.
• The weather channel reception depends on how close you are to a transmitter and whether you are indoors or outdoors. Since 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.
