WX Alert

Your scanner’s WX alert warns you of serious weather condi- tions by sounding an alarm if a National Weather Service broad- caster in your area broadcasts a weather alert tone.

To set the scanner so it sounds an alarm when a weather alert tone is broadcast, press PRI/ALERT while you are listening to the WX channel. ALErt appears. If the scanner detects the weather alert, it sounds an alarm. Press any key to turn off the alarm. To cancel the weather alert operation, press PRI/ALERT again.
