To set the Weatheradio so it does not sound an alert,
hold down
ALERT
for 2 seconds until
WEATHER
ALRT
OFF
appears. The Weatheradio beeps twice.
Setting the Alert Volume
To set your Weatheradio’s alert volume, turn on the
alert tone (see “Manually Testing the Alert Tone” on
Page 32), then rotate
TONE
toward
HIGH
to increase
the volume or toward
LOW
to
decrease it.
We recommend you set the alert volume to the high-
est volume setting, then decrease it as needed.
Changing/Checking the Alert Pattern
You can set the Weatheradio to respond to an NWS
alert broadcast in one of two ways.
VOICE — the Weatheradio sounds an alert for about
8 seconds, then automatically turns on the weather
(voice) broadcast for 5 minutes. Then it returns to
standby mode. It also displays the alert description
(such as
TORNADO
WARNING
) until the alert’s effec-
tive time received as part of the NWS broadcast code
expires. An alert could be in effect for several hours.
