How Your Radio Works
Weatheradio sounds an alert only when a weather
emergency is declared in that area. This helps you
more efficiently track the weather conditions in and
around your area.
WEATHER ALERTS
When the Weatheradio receives a weather alert:
• it sounds an alert beep
• it displays a description of the alert and the alert
duration
Note: If the Weatheradio receives more than one
weather alert at the same time, it displays information
for each alert in sequence.
The alert descriptions your Weatheradio can display
are based on a list of specific weather alert types pub-
lished by the NWS. For a list of all the alert descrip-
tions that your Weatheradio can display, see “Alert
Descriptions” on Page 28.
Warning: The NWS uses sophisticated weather
models to determine an alert’s effective time. Howev-
er, the end of an alert does not necessarily mean that
the related weather emergency is over.
