Selecting Areas for Alerts
To limit alerts to specific areas, in weather mode press the soft key for the
area you want to turn on or off. Activated areas are reverse-printed in the
display. Or, to receive alerts for all areas, press the ALL soft key to
reverse-highlight that option.
Note:
If you don’t select an area, the scanner will never sound an alert.
Receiving Alerts
The scanner receives alerts even if it is in standby mode (power off).
Select the appropriate weather, AM, FM, or TV broadcast channel. Then,
power-off the scanner. The bottom line of the display will indicate the
frequency the scanner is monitoring for alerts. If an alert is received, the
scanner sounds an alert tone, then you hear the audio for the alert. The
alert message summary is also displayed across the bottom of the
display.
During an alert, the terminals on the back of the scanner provide a switch
closure to activate external sounders or strobes (optional). These can be
easily controlled using an X10 PRO PowerFlash Interface (Model PSC01-
Input Mode A). See the interface’s instructions for installation of such
devices.
