Radio Operation

1) To listen to the standard NOAA weather channels, turn the 
radio on, press the Band button until 
WX
shows on the dis-
play. The telescopic whip antenna may need to be fully 
extended and in the “up” position to receive a station clearly. 
2) The channel number of the weather station is shown on the 
display. Pressing the Up or Down Tuning Buttons will toggle 
you through the seven-programmed channels. There should 
be one or more weather service stations broadcasting in your 
local area. You will hear a report that is updated usually once 
or more per day for your area. If there is a severe weather or 
weather-related emergency, NOAA may update the weather 
broadcast more frequently. If there is a weather emergency, 
the NOAA may issue an alert tone.
After locating and tuning in your weather station the radio can
now be placed into WEATHER ALERT mode. The WEATHER
ALERT mode enables you to listen to your favorite AM or FM
station or turn the radio off, and still receive an alert signal
warning you of a special emergency. There are three active
WEATHER ALERT modes on the Sonido Radio.
Setting the Weather Alert
1) To place the radio in WEATHER ALERT mode, 
press and hold the Weather Alert Button for two
seconds: You will hear a short beep and see 
the 
ALERT
symbol, shown on the display. 
Continued on page 15
This WEATHER ALERT mode is with the flashing
light only (no Alarm). If NOAA issues a weather 
related emergency, the radio will automatically alert
you with a small flashing light above the Weather Alert Button.
The Alert light continues to flash until any button is pushed.
