Weather alert system
The weather alert function on the radio can alert you to special
weather related emergencies. During an emergency or weather-
related hazard, NOAA issues an emergency tone that will set off an
audible and/ or visual alarm on the radio.
Note:
Hazard warnings are not available in all areas. There are 7 stan-
dard NOAA weather channels used in the US and Canada. The ra-
dio receives broadcasts up to 40 miles from transmitting stations.
. To listen to the standard NOAA weather channels, turn on the radio
and extend the FM wire antenna located in the battery compartment
to get better reception. Then press the Band button until WX
shows on the display.
. The channel number of the weather station is shown on the display.
Press the Tuning up/ down button to select the programmed
channels. There should be one or more weather service stations
broadcasting in your local area. You will hear a report that is
updated usually once or more per day for your area. If there is a
severe weather or weather-related emergency, NOAA will update
weather broadcast more frequently. If there is a weather emergency,
the NOAA will issue an alert tone.
