Using the radio in weather mode
• You cannot transmit while in weather mode.
• To enter weather mode, press
WX-MEM .
• 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 11). 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 CHANNEL UP and CHANNEL DOWN to choose WX Alert Mode setting On or Off .
Weather mode with Triple and Dual Watch
If you activate Triple Watch while operating in weather mode, the radio checks channels 16 and 9 every two seconds; with Dual Watch
turned on, the radio only checks channel 16.
Press and hold 16/9-TRI (on the radio or the microphone) for two seconds to turn Triple/Dual Watch on or off. (To change between
Triple or Dual Watch, see page 10.)
