TURNING THE ALERT TONE ON/OFF

To set the Weatheradio so it sounds an alert tone when

it receives an alert, set ALERT ON/OFF to ON. The radio beeps once and ALERT and ON appear. Ô

To set the Weatheradio so it does not sound an alert

tone, set ALERT ON/OFF to OFF. The radio beeps twice and ALERT and OFF appear.

REVIEWING OVERLAPPING ALERTS

Your Weatheradio can store up to three different alerts (with overlapping effective times) in its memory. If the Weatheradio receives a new alert while a previous alert is still in effect, it automatically displays the alert description and sounds the new alert. Ô

While an alert is in effect, the corresponding alert indicator (WARNING, WATCH, or STATEMENT) on the front of the Weatheradio lights. Press Ý to review the previous alert or Þ to view the next alert. PressÝ orÞ to view all alerts in the order they were received.

Ô NOTE Ô

Turning the Alert Tone On/Off

•If you programmed more than one FIPS code into the Weatheradio’s memory, be sure the

Weatheradio is set to its

MULTIPLE LOC or ALL

LOCATION mode.

Otherwise, the Weatheradio only receives broadcasts for the FIPS code you stored in the first memory location.

•If severe weather threatens, do not wait for an alert tone. Turn on the Weatheradio and monitor the weather information.

•If you turned off the Weatheradio’s alert tone (see “Enabling/Disabling

Alert Tones” on Page 17), ALERT and ON or OFF will only show the position where you set ALERT ON/OFF.

•The Weatheradio is preset to sound an alert when you turn it on, even if ALERT ON/OFF is set to OFF.

Reviewing Overlapping Alerts

•While reviewing alerts, if you do not press Ý or Þ for about 10 seconds,

the Weatheradio displays the most recently received alert.
