Setting the Weather Channel
Your radio receives eight frequencies. See the Weather 
Frequency Chart on page 43. for a complete list. 
After turning on the weather broadcast, press [ or ] to 
select the strongest Channel.
As with two-way radio reception, Weather Channel Reception depends on how close 
you are to a transmitter and whether you are indoors or outdoors. Also, because 
Weather Channels are transmitted without Codes, they may contain static or noise.
Note:  The Talkabout T7200 two-way radios are designed to be two-way radios 
primarily, with the added utility of features such as Weather Alert. The radio 
uses the same circuitry for both two-way radio and weather alert receptions. 
Therefore, you can miss a weather alert while you are engaged in two-way 
communication (either transmitting or receiving). To ensure that you do not 
miss a weather alert, leave the radio in the Weather Mode.
Note:  In some isolated areas, it may not be possible to receive 
Weather Channel Transmissions.
To Set Weather Alert:
Switch to weather mode, 
press 
\
 once, and 
press 
[
 
or 
]
 to select 
Y
 (On).
If you activate Weather Alert and return to two-way mode, 
o
will display.
