RECEIVING WEATHER BROADCASTS

WEATHER RADIO

OPERATION

Follow these steps to receive National
Weather Service broadcasts.
1. To turn on the radio, set FUNC-
TION to ON.
2. Set FM/AM/WX/ALERT to WX.
3. Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable
listening level.
4. Set CHANNEL to the channel (1–7)
that produces the clearest signal.
5. Set WX ANTENNA to LINE.
Note: If the signal is broken or
noisy, set WX ANTENNA to ROD.
Then extend the telescoping
antenna to its full length. If recep-
tion is still not clear, try placing the
radio near an outside wall or win-
dow.
6. To turn off the radio, set FUNC-
TION to OFF.

USING THE ALERT TONE

You can set the radio to alert you only
when it detects a weather emergency
broadcast so you do not have to con-
tinuously listen to the National Weath-
er Service broadcasts.
1. Set FUNCTION to ON and FM/AM/
WX/ALERT to ALERT to set the
radio to the alert mode. The
ALERT indicator lights, and the
receiver is silent.
