Table 11 Informer TAR Buttons

and for NOAA Weather Radio. Push to change or press and hold to scroll to
the highest or lowest volume setting. You cannot turn down the sound
completely.

MONITOR
The MONITOR button plays radio traffic. To return to standby mode, push the
RESET/TEST button. To emit alert tone, hold down both the MONITOR and
the RESET/TEST buttons.
RESET/TEST
The RESET/TEST button changes the unit from monitor mode to standby
mode. After an alert message, press the RESET/TEST button to turn off the
blinking Alert LED.
Receiving an Alert Message
When the Informer receives a valid alert message, the red Alert LED begins to flash
and audio is heard over the speaker, unless you programmed the Test LED to turn on
for that message. You can program the Informer TAR to sound one of four tones.
You can program the unit to automatically enter monitor mode, which enables the
user to hear radio traffic over the Informer TAR. You can program the length of the
tone.
The Informer TAR receives all properly addressed alert messages sent over the radio
whether the unit is in monitor mode or standby mode. Instructional voice messages
typically follow the alert beeps to provide instructions for related emergencies in your
specific area. Immediately respond as instructed.
The Informer TAR automatically resets and returns to standby mode when the control
center sends a CANCEL command. The red Alert and yellow Test LED is also reset.
Avoid the use of the CANCEL command after an actual alert, so that the user is able
to acknowledge the Alert or Test LED manually.
New activation commands over-ride all previous functions in progress. You cannot
decode a new single-tone or a two-tone function while a siren tone is being generated
by the Informer.
Receiving a Test Message
If the Informer TAR was programmed with a Test function, the yellow Test LED
lights steady when a Test message is received. This light remains on until you press
the RESET button. The Alert LED does not light for any function that is programmed
to light the Test LED.
