Changing the Alert Pattern
The alert tone is a high low alternating sound. The speed of the
tones depends on if the 74-200 received a watch or warning.
The alert pattern has two options available through the program
button, VOICE and ALERT. If VOICE is chosen, the alert will
sound for about 8 seconds then the voice weather broadcast will
be heard for about 5 minutes when an alert message is received. If
you desire to listen to the broadcast longer, press the
“WEATHER” bar on the front the 74-200.
If ALERT is chosen, alert tones will sound for the duration of the
alert(in some cases for several hours) or until the OFF button is
pressed. To change the pattern, press and release “DISP. MODE”
button until the display is showing WEATHER ALERT. Open the
top hatch to reveal the programming keys. Press and release the
“PROGRAM” button then “YES” to display the current alert
pattern. Press and release the “YES” button to keep that pattern
or “NO” to change it to the other option then press and release the
“YES” button to accept that option and continue with
programming or press and release the “PROGRAM” button to
return the radio to alert mode.
NOTE: Remember if there are no buttons pressed for 30 seconds
the 74-200 will go back to alert mode. To continue after the 74-
200 goes back to alert mode, go back to “Adjusting Weather
Frequency” to continue with programming..
