Scan mode with both Weather
Alert and Triple/Dual Watch
You can activate Weather Alert
Watch and Triple/Dual Watch at
the same time. The radio
performs both checks at their
scheduled time.
Weather mode
In cooperation with the FCC, NOAA also uses the weather channels to alert you of other
hazards besides weather (child abduction alerts, nuclear, biological, etc.). In weather mode,
the radio monitors one of the ten NOAA weather channels. If any type of alert is received for
your area, the radio sounds an alert tone and displays the type of alert. In weather mode, the
display shows the following:

Weather mode can filter out alerts that do not affect your location if the location code
(FIPS code) of the alert is entered in your radio (see page 15). If you have no FIPS codes
programmed into your radio, the radio will notify you of all alerts in any area.

To turn off the radio’s alert tone, press any button.

To cancel weather mode and return to the previous marine channel, press the WX-MEM
button again.
Weather mode with Weather Alert Watch
Because weather mode already monitors the weather channels, you don’t need Weather
Alert Watch to check the weather channel every seven seconds. If you activate Weather Alert
Watch while operating in weather mode, it operates as a type of “sleep mode”: the radio stays
on the weather channel and mutes the speaker. If an alert is detected for your area, the radio
sounds an alert tone and turns the speaker back on. This mode is very useful when you are
anchoring for the night but want to stay informed of any hazards in your area.
To turn Weather Alert Watch on or off, press and hold
CALL-MENU
while the radio is idle.
Select Setup and then WX Alert Mode . Use

Mode setting ON or Off .
