Set Mode 4 – Enable Warning Lights (ON/OFF)
In addition to the scrolling text of the Severe Weather Alerts, a Warning light provides a
visual indication of an alert condition for the area.
The orange/yellow light in the lower left corner lights when an alert is issued that is in the
category of Advisory or Watch. This also includes NWS Statements and other
notifications that are less than an imminent threat level. These alerts typically indicate
that some condition is likely or possible to affect the area.
The red light to the lower right corner illuminates when a Warning level alert has been
issued. These alerts typically indicate that the alert information is of a higher level of
importance and that some condition is very likely to happen or is already happening in or
near the area.
You can turn this feature off so that the lights do not illuminate, and only the text of the
alert is displayed in the center scrolling area. To change the setting, follow the
