Motorola T6320, T6300, T6310 manual Setting the Weather Channel, Setting the Weather Alert

Setting the Weather Channel

Your radio receives six NOAA frequencies. (See the Frequency and Code Charts beginning on page 35 for a complete list.)

After turning on the weather broadcast, select the WEATHER mode and the SET CHAN menu to select the strongest channel.

Note: As with two-way radio reception, weather channel reception depends upon how close you are to a transmitter. If you’re out of range you’ll hear static--try another weather channel.

...We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a special bulletin...

Well, almost. You can program your two-way radio to cut in and switch to the weather channel whenever it receives an emergency weather advisory.

Setting the Weather Alert

If you set the weather alert, whenever NOAA transmits an emergency weather broadcast, your radio switches to the selected weather channel

when it detects the transmission.

To set weather alerts, select the WEATHER mode and the SET ALERT menu. When weather alerts are set, o is displayed.

Note: The TalkAbout T6000-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, it is possible to 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.
