Note: The Weatheradio automatically selects TONE the first time you turn it on.
In this tutorial, you will be shown how to change and check the alert pattern on your Weatheradio. 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. It also displays the alert description (such as TORNADO WARNING) until the alert's effective time received as part of the NWS broadcast code expires. An alert could be in effect for several hours.
Tone - the Weatheradio sounds an alert for 5 minutes and displays an alert description until the alert's effective time expires. To turn off the alert sooner, press WEATHER. The NWS broadcast turns on.
