During Weather Mode
While in Weather mode, the Weather Alert function operates as a type of “sleep mode.”
The radio stays on the weather channel and mutes the speaker, and if the radio detects
an alert, it sounds an alert tone, switch to that weather channel, and turns the speaker
back on. This function is useful if you anchor for the night but want to keep informed of
hazards.
During Normal Mode
Monitors one channel, checking weather
channel every 7 seconds.
