• When scanning the Weather Broadcast Channels, the transceiver will
remain muted until the Alert Tone is received. This yields a long period
of monitoring time, as no power will be consumed for audio output while
scanning for the Alert Tone is in progress.
• When the scanner encounters an Alert Tone, the scanning will stop. The
“ALARM” message will appear on the display and the transceiver will
sound a beep.
