In cooperation with the FCC, NOAA also uses the weather channels 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 for
your area, the radio sounds an alert tone and displays the type of alert. In weather mode, the
display shows the following:

seconds, the radio checks
channels 9 & 16 then goes on
