C. Crane PR-D4VW instruction manual Setting the Weather Alert

Radio Operation

1)To listen to the standard NOAA weather channels, turn the radio on, press the Band button until WX shows on the dis- play. The telescopic whip antenna may need to be fully extended and in the “up” position to receive a station clearly.

2)The channel number of the weather station is shown on the display. Pressing the Up or Down Tuning Buttons will toggle you through the seven-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 may update the weather broadcast more frequently. If there is a weather emergency, the NOAA may issue an alert tone.

After locating and tuning in your weather station the radio can now be placed into WEATHER ALERT mode. The WEATHER ALERT mode enables you to listen to your favorite AM or FM station or turn the radio off, and still receive an alert signal warning you of a special emergency. There are three active WEATHER ALERT modes on the Sonido Radio.

Setting the Weather Alert

1)To place the radio in WEATHER ALERT mode, press and hold the Weather Alert Button for two seconds: You will hear a short beep and see the ALERT symbol, shown on the display.

This WEATHER ALERT mode is with the flashing
	ALERT
light only (no Alarm). If NOAA issues a weather
related emergency, the radio will automatically alert

you with a small flashing light above the Weather Alert Button. The Alert light continues to flash until any button is pushed.
