Press Channel up to move up one channel at a time. Press and hold the button to scroll quickly up the channels.

Press Channel down to move down one channel at a time. Press and hold the button to scroll quickly down the channels.

To change the transmit power, press L/M/H. The transmit power switches to the next transmit power each time you press this button.

Normal mode with Weather Alert Watch

If you activate Weather Alert Watch while operating in Normal mode,

the radio checks the most recently used weather channel every few seconds. If it detects a weather or other hazard alert, it will switch to that weather channel. (If you are actively transmitting, the radio waits until you finish your transmission before checking the weather channel.)

Every few seconds, the radio checks the last-used weather channel.
