Weather mode
The NOAA weather channels now cooperate with the FCC to
alert you of other hazards besides weather (child abduction
alerts, nuclear, biological, etc.). In weather mode, the radio
monitors one of the ten NOAA weather channels. If any type
of alert is received, the radio sounds an alert tone and the
display blinks.
Using the radio in weather mode
You cannot transmit while in weather mode. •
To enter weather mode, press the • WX-Alert button.
To turn off the radio’s alert tone, press any button. •
To cancel weather mode and return to the previous marine •
channel, press the WX-Alert button again.
Weather mode with Weather Alert Watch
Because weather mode already monitors the weather
channels, you don’t need Weather Alert Watch to check
the weather channel every seven seconds. If you activate
Weather Alert Watch while operating in weather mode,
it operates as a type of “sleep mode”: the radio stays on
the weather channel and mutes the speaker. If an alert
is detected, the radio sounds an alert tone and turns the
speaker back on. This mode is very useful when you are
anchoring for the night but want to keep informed of hazards.
