SET MODE

D Weather alert function

“AL”

NOAA broadcast stations transmit weather alert tones before

important weather announcements. When the weather alert

function is turned ON, the transceiver detects the alert, then

ﬂashes the “ALT” indicator until the transceiver is operated.

The previously selected (used) weather channel is checked

periodically during standby or while scanning.

• “ALT” appears when the function is set ON.

D Scan type selection “SC”

The transceiver has 2 scan types: normal scan and priority

scan. Normal scan searches all tag channels in the selected

channel group. Priority scan searches all tag channels in se-

quence while monitoring channel 16.

D Scan resume timer “St”

The scan resume timer can be selected as a pause (OFF) or

timer scan (ON). When OFF is selected, the scan pauses

until a received signal disappears. When ON is selected, the

scan pauses for 5 sec. after receiving a signal and then re-

sumes even if the signal is still being received.

D Auto power save function “PS”

The power save function reduces current drain by deactivat-

ing the receiver circuit for preset intervals.

Weather alert function OFF (default)

Normal scan (default) Priority scan
