In cooperation with the FCC, NOAA also uses the weather channels to alert you of other hazards besides weather (child abduction alerts, nuclear, biological, etc.). In weather mode, the radio monitors one of the ten NOAA weather channels. If any type of alert is received for your area, the radio sounds an alert tone and displays the type of alert. In weather mode, the display shows the following: Weather mode is on Flashing: An alert has been issued Steady: Weather Alert Watch is on 09 Weather Band Alert Hurricane Warning Current channel number Type of alert (If the text is too long, it scrolls.)

If you have no FIPS codes programmed into your radio, the radio will notify you of all alerts in any area. xx To turn off the radio's alert tone, press any button. xx To cancel weather mode and return to the previous marine channel, press the WX-MEM button again. Weather mode with Weather Alert Watch Because weather mode already monitors the weather channels, you don't need Weather Alert Watch to check the weather channel every seven seconds. If you activate Weather Alert Watch while operating in weather mode, it operates as a type of "sleep mode": the radio stays on the weather channel and mutes the speaker. If an alert is detected for your area, the radio sounds an alert tone and turns the speaker back on. This mode is very useful when you are anchoring for the night but want to stay informed of any hazards in your area. To turn Weather Alert Watch on or off, press and hold CALL-MENU while the radio is idle. Select Setup and then WX Alert Mode. Use CHANNEL UP and CHANNEL DOWN to choose WX Alert Mode setting ON or Off. English 11 UM380_20101221.indd 11 4/13/2011 11:25:09 AM
