NOAA Weather Alert
The VR209 is equipped with a Weather Band Alert (WB Alert) and Weather Alert Power (Alert

adding an additional level of user safety. The radio factory default setting for these features is
“OFF”. When set to “AUTO”, the Weather Alert function automatically switches from any of the
available function modes (Tuner, SAT, CD, iPod, AUX) to Weather Band when a NOAA
warning tone is received/detected.
