Receiving a Weather Alert
NOAA broadcasts weather information as described in the
NOAA weather channels section on page 75 of this manual.
When NOAA broadcasts a weather alert signal and your radio
is in WX Alert Standby mode, the following items will be
displayed on the LCD display:
■ The WX icon (cloud/sun) icon will be displayed.
■ The last used weather channel will be displayed.
■
The bar graph will display received signal strength level.
■ The WX Alert icon (safety triangle) will be displayed.
NOTE
Only one (1) or two (2) of the weather channels will
be operating in any given location [only in Receive
(Rx) mode]. You will need to select the channel with
the strongest signal in your location.
NOTE
When in the WX Alert mode, and NOAA sends the
1050 Hz alert tone, the radio will sound a series of
loud beeps regardless of the volume control setting.
