Uniden BC244CLT English Owners Manual - Page 21

Weather Channel Scan The BC244CLT allows you to search from 7 pre-programmed NOAA channels for your local NOAA weather channel. Press WX to find the active weather channel in your area. It is possible that your area is covered by more than one weather station. All weather channels transmit continuous broadcasts. Once the Weather Scan stops on a transmission, it remains on that channel. Weather Scan does not resume automatically. You must press WX again to resume weather scanning. When you press WX, the BC244CLT immediately finds an active broadcast. If the broadcast sounds weak and distant, press WX again to look for a closer station. In some parts of the country, you may not be able to monitor weather broadcasts, such as in low-lying areas. Normally a higher location improves the reception. To exit Weather Channel Scan mode, press SCAN, MANUAL, or ON/OFF. Do not program a weather frequency into one of the 30 channels. Because weather channels transmit continuously, the scanner remains on that channel, disrupting the scanning cycle. The Weather Scan feature is provided specifically to avoid this occurrence. 18
