mode. Otherwise, the
Weatheradio only receives
broadcasts for the FIPS code
you stored in the first memory
position.
• If severe weather threatens, do
not wait for an alert tone. Turn on
the weather broadcast and
monitor the weather information.
To set the Weatheradio so it does not
sound an alert, set the
ALERT ON/OFF
switch to
ALERT OFF
. Two beeps
sound and

appears.
Setting the Alert Volume
To set your Weatheradio’s alert
volume, turn on the alert tone, then
rotate
ALERT VOLUME
clockwise to
increase (or counterclockwise to
decrease) the volume.
Note:
We recommend you set the
alert volume to the highest 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. It
also displays the alert description
(such as
JEHD7:E
JEHD7:EJEHD7:E
JEHD7:E M7HD?D=
M7HD?D=M7HD?D=
M7HD?D=
) until the
alert’s effective time received as part
of the NWS broadcast code expires.
An alert could be in effect for several
hours.
Tone —
the Weatheradio sounds an
alert for 5 minutes and displays an
alert description until the alert’s
effective time expires. To turn off the
alert sooner, press
WEATHER
. The
NWS broadcast turns on.
The Weatheradio automatically
selects Tone the first time you turn it
on. To change the alert pattern (or
