The radio sounds the alert siren at full power, regardless of the volume setting.
4.Adjust VOLUME/OFF to comfortable listening level.
5.Return WEATHER/ALERT/LOCK to ALERT if you want to monitor the radio for further emergency broadcasts.
USING THE ALERT LOCK
If you are out of the room or away from your Weatheradio, you might miss an emergency broadcast.
When you will be out of hearing range of the alert siren, leave WEATHER/ ALERT/LOCK set to LOCK. In this mode, the alert siren stays on until you change the mode setting.
Use the WEATHER setting to turn off the siren and listen for more emergency information.
TESTING ALERT OPERATION
For your Weatheradio to be effective, the following two conditions must be met:
You must place the Weatheradio where it can receive an emergency alert broadcast (see "Testing Alert Reception").
You must place the Weatheradio where you can hear its alert tone.
Once you determine a location that meets the above two conditions, leave the radio there for best protection.
Testing Alert Reception
The fact that you get clear voice reception or that the tone sounds when you press TEST does not guarantee that an emergency signal will trigger your Weatheradio's alert tone. Also, if you are in a fringe area, your Weatheradio might be triggered by a in one area, but not be triggered if you place it somewhere else (even close by).
To test for actual reception, your radio must receive a test or emergency alert broadcast. The National Weather Service (NWS) broadcasts a test alert every week on Wednesday between 11 AM and 12 Noon. To find out the specific test schedule in your area, contact your local National Oceanic
