Weather

You can’t change the weather, but you can be prepared for it whenever you take your MotorolaTalkabout T6300, T6310, or T6320 radio with you. That’s because it tunes in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio broadcasts. You can listen to a weather channel or you can even set your radio to alert you to emergency weather broadcasts.

And because NOAA Weather Radio now broadcasts warning information for all types of hazards, routine broadcasts are interrupted during emergencies for natural and technological warnings, watches, and other critical information.

NOAA has transmitters located throughout the United States that broadcast National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day.

Whenever you are listening to the weather channel, you cannot use your radio for two-way communications. However, a weather alert will notify you while the radio is in other modes and it will override FM Stereo broadcasts (T6310 only).

Turning On the Weather

To turn on weather channel reception, select the WEATHER mode and the SET WEA menu.

To turn off weather channel reception, select WEA OFF or take the radio out of weather mode.
