Setting the Alert Volume

To set your Weatheradio’s alert volume, use a coin to

turn

ALERT

TONE

clockwise to increase the volume or

counterclockwise to decrease it. To begin (before you

hear the alert the first time), we recommend you se-

lect the highest volume setting, then decrease it as

needed.

Changing/Checking the Alert Pattern

You can set the Weatheradio to respond to an NWS

alert broadcast in one of two ways.

VOICE

— the Weatheradio sounds an alert for about

8 seconds, then automatically turns on the weather

(voice) broadcast for 5 minutes. Then it returns to

standby mode. It also displays the alert description

(such as

TORNADO

WARNING

) until the alert’s effec-

tive time (such as 2 hours, 30 minutes; received as

part of the NWS broadcast code) expires.
