USING THE WEATHERADIO

In the USA, detailed weather infor- mation is continuously broadcast on 372 government weather stations. Each station broadcasts on A — 162.400, B — 162.475, or C — 162.550 MHz.

Most weather stations use frequency C, but in locations where there might be interference between stations, the other two frequencies might be used. Choose the frequency that provides the best reception at your location.

Follow these steps to receive weath- er information.

Note: Before you use the weathera- dio, be sure you connect a power source and an antenna to the CB.

1.Turn VOLUME clockwise to turn on the weatheradio.

2.Set WEATHERADIO-ABC/CB to

A, B or C.

3.Adjust VOLUME to the desired listening level.

Notes:

•If reception is poor, try one of the other two weather station fre- quencies.

•CH9, CHANNEL UP/DOWN, PUSH TO TALK, DISPLAY, and RANGE have no effect on weatheradio operation.
