Testing the Weather Alert

Follow these steps to test the weather
alert — to hear how it sounds and en-
sure that the circuitry is working.

Note:  This test does not ensure that
your scanner will sound an alert when
the weather service transmits an
emergency signal (see “Weather
Alert” on Page 25). Proper operation
is affected by the strength of the
weather service’s signal.

1. Press 

WX

.

2. When the scanner stops on a

weather channel, press 

ALERT

.

ALERT

 appears on the display.

3. Press and hold 

PRIORITY

 for more

than 2 seconds until the scanner
sounds a loud alarm.

To turn off the alarm, press 

ALERT

 or

WX

.

CONNECTING AN 
EARPHONE

For private listening, plug an earphone
or mono headphones’ 

1

/

8

-inch plug

into the   jack on the front of the

scanner. This disconnects the internal
speaker.

Note: Your local RadioShack store
has a wide selection of earphones and
headphones.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone
or headphone.

• Do not listen at extremely high

volume levels. Extended high-vol-
ume listening can lead to perma-
nent hearing loss.

• Set the volume to the lowest set-

ting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust
the volume to a comfortable level.

• Once you set the volume, do not

increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
