Setting the Weather Alert
Your radio can be set to respond to the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio emergency
messages. A special alarm tone sounds an alert and turns on the
weather receiver to give you immediate weather and emergency
information.
1. In Weather mode, press the Menu/Lock button twice until the
Weather Alert icon is displayed.
2. To select on or off, press the + or - button.
3. To exit the weather menu set-up, press the PTT button or the Menu/
Lock button.
4. To return to Two-Way mode, press the Mode button.
If you activate the Weather Alert and return to Two-Way mode, the
radio displays the Weather Alert icon.
Note:
• The weather mode automatically reverts to Two-Way
mode when the weather channel is activated, either
manually or after receiving an alert, and no buttons are
pressed for five minutes.
• The weather channel reception depends on how close
you are to a transmitter and whether you are indoors or
outdoors. Since weather channels are transmitted without
codes, they may contain static or noise. Weather Alert
does not function while actively transmitting or receiving in
Two-Way mode.

Additional Information
Radio Battery Meter
The number of bars (0–3) on the Battery Power icon indicates the
remaining power of the battery. When the power level of the battery
reduces to one level, the Low Battery Alert starts. Your radio plays a
tone periodically or after releasing the PTT button.
Maintaining the Battery Capacity
• Charge the NiMH batteries once every three months when not in use.
After a longer time, the duration for your radio to start charging
increases and can take up to five minutes.
• Remove your radio from the charger within 16 hours. Do not store
your radio while connected to the charger.
