Setting the Weather Alert | Motorola T6210, T6220 manual

Setting the Weather Alert

If you set the weather alert and switch back to two-way mode, o is displayed. Whenever NOAA transmits an emergency weather broadcast on the selected channel, your radio alerts you using the selected alert mode, ring B or vibrate i, and switches to the selected weather channel. If your radio is in weather mode, you will receive a weather alert only on the selected channel.

To set weather alerts, switch to weather mode, press \ twice, and press [ or ] to select Y (on).

Note: The TalkAbout T6200-series two-way radios are designed to be two-way radios primarily, with the added utility of features such as Weather Alert. The radio uses the same circuitry for both two-way radio and weather alert receptions. Therefore, you can miss a weather alert while you are engaged in two-way communication (either transmitting or receiving). To ensure that you do not miss a weather alert, leave the radio in the Weather Mode.
