Reviewing Overlapping Alerts

The 74-250 radio can store up to five different alerts (with overlapping effective times) in its memory. If the radio receives a new alert while a previous alert is still in effect, the radio automatically displays the alert description and sounds the alert for the new alert message. To scroll backward and forward through the radio’s memory and review all the effective alerts, press the “UP /DOWN” Buttons. Each alert will be displayed with the time it was received.
