Weather Alert Mode 

You can silence the radio and enter the alert mode. The radio will remain in standby mode until there 
is a weather statement, watch or warning. To activate the Weather Alert Mode, tune to your local 
station as defined in the previous section. 
 
Press and hold the 

MODE

 button until the 

WB

 symbol begins flashing. The WB symbol will continue 

to flash until there is a weather statement, watch or warning.    In the event of an alert, the alert light 
will flash and the radio will sound (with the voice of the National Weather Service). To disable the 
alert light, press any key. To disable the alert light but continue in alert mode, press and hold the 

MODE

 button to two seconds. 

 
To verify you have reception in your area, the National Weather Service (NWS) normally run tests 
each Wednesday between 10 a.m. and noon local time. Tests may occur at other days and times when 
there is a threat of severe weather in the listening area or for other reasons.
