Your scanner has been primarily designed to be a radio 
scanner. While it incorporates weather alert as one of its 
features, we strongly recommend that you not use the 
scanner as your sole means for receiving emergency 
alerts. Your local electronics retailer carries several 
weather radios specifically designed for this function.

Your scanner allows you to search for a local NOAA 
weather broadcast and set it to alert when a SAME 
weather alert is broadcast on a NOAA channel. You can 
also program SAME codes into the scanner and set a 
weather channel as a priority channel.

In the following sections, you can also access the weather 
menu from Hold mode by holding 

 then pressing Wx.

Weather Scan 

The scanner starts scanning the preprogrammed weather 
frequencies, and stops on the first signal. If this station is 
weak, rotate the scroll control to check for other weather 
broadcasts in your area.

Note: NOAA broadcasts are continuous broadcasts. 
You will only lose reception if you move out of a coverage 
area. If the signal is lost, the scanner resumes searching 
for a weather transmission. 

In weather alert mode, your scanner functions as a 
severe weather warning radio. This is especially useful 
when your area is expecting severe weather conditions 
late at night. When you set the scanner to weather alert 
mode, it holds on the weather channel, but does not play 
the channel’s audio. If it detects a weather alert, it sounds 
a tone, displays information about the weather alert, and 
turns on the audio so you can hear the weather broadcast.
