SCANNING THE

CHANNELS

You can set the walkie-talkie so it scans the CB or weather channels, stopping when it receives a strong signal.

Press CB/WX to select the desired band, then hold down SCAN for about 2 seconds. SCAN appears, and the scanner scans through all channels in the selected band.

To turn off scanning, hold down SCAN for about 2 seconds.

Note: When you turn on the walkie- talkie for the first time, the scan fea- ture is automatically set to on in the WX mode.

POWER SAVE

If you do not press any key or if the walkie-talkie does not receive any signal for about 10 seconds, the walkie-talkie automatically switches itself to battery save mode. P.SAVE flashes.

LISTENING TO THE WEATHER BAND

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated channels for use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Regulatory agencies in other coun- tries have also allocated channels for

use by their weather reporting author- ities.

NOAA and your local weather report- ing authority broadcast your local forecast and regional weather infor- mation on one or more of these chan- nels.

Listening to a Weather Channel

To hear your local forecast and re- gional weather information, press CB/ WX to select the desired band. The walkie-talkie scans through the weather band then stops within a few seconds on the strongest weather broadcast, and WX and the weather channel number appear.

Note: You cannot adjust the walkie- talkie’s power level or switch to CB channel 9 or 19 while listening to a weather channel.

Turning Digital Weather Alert On/Off

To turn off the digital weather alert, press ALERT OFF so WX disappears when there is no alert signal in the CB mode. The key tone does not sound

when you pressin this case. To turn on the digital weather alert again, press ALERT OFF so WX flashes.
