DWeather alert function

NOAA broadcast stations transmit weather alert tones before important weather announcements. When the weather alert function is turned ON, the selected weather channel is moni- tored each 5 sec. for the announcement. When the alert sig- nal is detected, the “AL.T” and the WX channel are displayed alternately and sounds a beep tone until the receiver is oper- ated. The previously selected (used) weather channel is checked periodically during standby or while scanning.

NOTE: While receiving a signal (on a frequency other than

the weather alert ON frequency), the receiving signal or

audio will be interrupted momentarily every 5 sec. (approx.)

in case the alert function is turned ON. This symptom is

caused by the WX alert function. To cancel these symp- toms, set the weather alert item OFF in set mode.
