When the Weather Alert function is turned ON, the transceiver checks the selected Weather channel every 5 seconds for an announcement. When the alert signal is detected, "AL.T" and the Weather channel are alternately displayed, and a beep sounds until any operation is performed. The transceiver automatically detects a Weather Alert tone on the selected Weather channel or while scanning. 1. Select the desired Weather channel, and then push [V/MHz SCAN]. 2. Repeatedly push [SET LOCK] or [MONI ANM PA] to select "ALT" (Weather Alert function). 3. Rotate [DIAL] to select "ON." 4. Push any key other than [SET LOCK] or [MONI ANM PA] to save and exit the Set mode. 5. Operate normally. 6. When an alert is detected, a beep sounds, and "AL.T" and the Weather channel are alternately displayed. LLPush any key to stop the beep. NOTE: When the Weather Alert function is turned ON, the received audio will be momentarily interrupted approximately every 5 seconds while receiving a signal on a frequency other than the Weather channel. To cancel these interruptions, turn OFF the function in the Set mode. (p. 8-4) Example: Selecting Weather channel 1 and turning ON the Weather Alert function.
