USING THE ALERT ALARM
You can set the radio to alert you only when it detects a weather emergency, so you do not have to continuously listen to the National Weather Service broadcasts.
1.Turn on the radio.
2.Set CHANNEL to the position that produces the clearest signal.
3.Set WEATHER/ALERT/LOCK to ALERT.
In an emergency situation, your Weatheradio will automatically sound an alert siren for 10 seconds.
NOTES: After hearing the alert siren, set WEATHER/ALERT/LOCK to WEATHER to hear the emergency information.
To ensure your Weatheradio will sound the alert tone when it receives an emergency signal keep the antenna fully extended at all times.
If severe weather threatens, do not wait for an alert tone; turn on your Weatheradio and monitor the latest weather information.
Because the alert is broadcast for 10 seconds, if you set the switch to WEATHER immediately after the siren starts to sound, you hear the broadcast tone for the remainder of the 10 seconds, and then the emergency information.
