Weather mode can filter out alerts that do not affect your location if the location code (FIPS code) of the alert is entered in your radio (see page 19). If you have no FIPS codes programmed into your radio, the radio will notify you of all alerts in any area.

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-MENUwhile the radio is idle.

Select Setup and then WX Alert Mode. Use 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-TRIon the radio for two seconds to turn Triple/Dual Watch on or off. (To change between Triple or Dual Watch, see page 18.)
