Using the Radio
Your radio functions as a severe weather warning radio. This is especially
useful when your area is expecting severe weather conditions any time of day.
It emits a loud siren whenever your local NOAA weather station broadcasts a
severe weather emergency tone. You have the option of listening to the 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 weather alert radio:
1. Turn the
volume/off control clockwise until it clicks. WX100, CH No. and
frequency appear in the display respectively.
2. Press weather until you hear the weather broadcast.
OR
If you do not want to listen to the weather broadcast, press weather 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.
4. If the Alert Type icon ( ) or ( ) is not present, press and hold
alert to
turn on the audible weather alert. The selected Alert Type icon appears.
When the emergency tone is broadcasted, the siren sounds and the external
Alert terminals are activated. If you press and hold
alert again, the Alert
Type icon disappears. When the emergency tone is broadcasted, the siren
and the external Alert terminals are disabled. The message and the
corresponding indicator will still appear.
OPERATION
The volume control only adjusts the audio of the
broadcast, not the siren volume.
