Weather mode with Weather Alert Watch
Because weather mode already monitors the weather channels, you don't
need Weather Alert Watch to check the weather channel every seven
seconds. If you activate Weather Alert Watch while operating in weather
mode, it operates as a type of "sleep mode": the radio stays on the weather
channel and mutes the speaker. If an alert is detected for your area, the
radio sounds an alert tone and turns the speaker back on. This mode is very
useful when you are anchoring for the night but want to stay informed of any
hazards in your area.
Press and hold the
Watch on or off.
Weather mode with Triple and Dual Watch
If you activate Triple Watch while operating in weather mode, the radio
checks channels 16 and 9 every two seconds; with Dual Watch turned on, the
radio only checks channel 16.
Press and hold the
seconds to turn Triple/Dual Watch on or off. (To change between Triple or
Dual Watch, see page 21.)
