NOAA ALERT MODE

Whenever you are listening to the weather channel broadcast, the 2-way radio func- tion of the GMRS-1500XTM is disabled; however, when the NOAA alert function is active, the GMRS-1500XTM operates in the normal radio modes. After setting the NOAA alert option in the NOAA mode, when the radio receives the NOAA alert signal, it switches to the selected weather channel and normal radio operation is inhibited. Set the NOAA alert mode as follows:

1.From the GMRS TWO WAY mode (CH and CODE displayed), press the Function

(F) button twice; WEATHER is momentarily displayed, followed by the WEA and selected channel indication (01-10).

2.Press the right menu button; the channel number flashes; press the right menu button again. The Alert (ALT) indication appears with a flashing OFF indication if the feature is not activated.

3.Press the Up (6) button; ON appears flashing together with a flashing NOAA

alert icon ( ).

4.Press the Monitor (M) button to confirm the alert selection; the alert icon remains steady on the display, which now returns to the weather channel menu display.

The radio is now in the NOAA alert mode, awaiting a weather alert on one of the NOAA weather channels you have selected.

COMPASS MODE

HEADING INDICATION

The compass mode displays the direction in which the GMRS antenna is pointed with respect to the magnetic North Pole; the display indicates antenna heading in degrees (0 - 360) in one of 8 directions (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW, ), any of which can be calibrated for the deviation, or variation, with respect to True North (geographical North Pole).

To access the Compass mode:

1.From the GMRS TWO WAY mode (CH and CODE displayed), press the Function (F) button 3 times; COMPASS is momentarily displayed, followed by the heading indication.

2.If the compass has already been calibrated for your current position, then the GMRS antenna need only be pointed in any direction to establish the desired bearing to a desired destination.

NOTE: Hold the unit in a flat and level manner while taking bearings.
