alerts are turned on, the radio will periodically check for a weather alert tone (on the selected
channel) and automatically switch to Weather mode if an alert tone is detected.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATION
The radio will have a BATTERY LEVEL METER that shows the battery power level. The greater the number
of bars visible, the stronger the battery level.
o 3 Bars = Full Battery
o 2 Bars = 2/3 Battery
o 1 Bar = 1/3 Battery
o No bar = battery low
(Flashing)
The BATTERY LEVEL METER is visible at all times while the radio is powered on.
