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 for your area, 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 stay informed of any hazards in your area.
To turn Weather Alert Watch on or off, press and hold
CALL-MENU
while the radio is idle.
Select Setup and then WX Alert Mode. Use
CHANNEL UP
and
CHANNEL DOWN
to choose WX Alert
Mode setting ON or Off.
Weather mode with Triple and Dual Watch
If you activate Triple Watch while operating
in weather mode, the radio checks channels 16
and 9 every two seconds; with Dual Watch
turned on, the radio only checks channel 16.
Press and hold
16/9-TRI
on the radio for two
seconds to turn Triple/Dual Watch on or off.
(To change between Triple or Dual Watch, see
page 18.)
