important weather announcements. When the weather alert
function is turned ON, the selected weather channel is moni-
tored each 5 sec. for the announcement. When the alert sig-
nal is detected, the AL.T and the WX channel are displayed
alternately and sounds a beep tone until the receiver is oper-
ated. The previously selected (used) weather channel is
checked periodically during standby or while scanning.
