Using the All Hazards/Weather Radio
Your radio functions as an all hazards/weather warning radio. This is
especially useful when your area is expecting severe weather conditions
any time of day. It emits a loud tone whenever your local NOAA weather
station broadcasts a severe emergency tone. You have the option of
listening to the emergency/weather broadcast or not. Even though you
may not be listening to the broadcast, the radio still responds to the
emergency tones from the local weather station.
To turn ON the emergency/weather alert radio:
1. Turn the on/off/volumeuntil it clicks. The NOAA icon appears
in the display.
2. Press weather/snooze until you hear the weather broadcast.
OR
If you do not want to listen to the emergency/weather broadcast, press
weather/snooze again. The receiver is actually still ON but the audio
is muted.
3. Make sure you adjust your volume control to a comfortable listening
level. If you have set the Alert Type to
VOICE
, the volume level of
the voice broadcast, when it comes on, will be set correctly.
OPERATION
The volume control only adjusts the audio of the
broadcast, not the siren volume.
