BASIC RECEIVE FUNCTIONS
NOAA broadcast stations transmit weather alert tones before
important weather announcements. When the weather alert
function is turned ON, the selected weather channel is moni-
tored each 5 sec. for the announcement. When the alert sig-
nal is detected, the “WX Alert” blinks and the WX channel is
displayed, and sounds a beep tone until a change is made
within the control screen, or the zWXx button is clicked. The
previously selected weather channel is checked periodically
during standby or while scanning.
qRight-click the zWXx button to call up the [WX Alert]
screen.
wSelect the desired weather channel in [WX Alert Channel].
• Click zCHECKx to monitor the selected weather channel.
eClick the close ([X]) button to close the [WX Alert] screen.
r
Click the zWXx button to turn the weather alert function ON.
t When the alert is detected, a beep sounds and the indica-
tion will be displayed as at right.
y Click the zWXx button to turn the weather alert function
OFF.
☞ NOTE: While receiving a signal (on a frequency other than
the weather alert ON frequency), the receiving signal or
audio will be interrupted momentarily every 5 sec.
(approx.)
in case the alert function is turned ON. This is caused by
the WX alert function. To eliminate the interruptions, set the
weather alert function to OFF.
