 Weather Channel (Cont.)
The channel position 8 on all RM Series radios with channel selector knob is configured at the
factory as a NOAA Weather Radio.

The NOAA Weather Radio feature can be disabled or configured to any of the other available
channel positions via the Customer Programming Software or in Advanced Configuration Mode.
When a channel that has the NOAA Weather Radio enabled is selected, the RM radio generates a
voice announcement indicating channel and weather frequency number, e.g. "Channel 8: Weather
1". The weather frequency number announced is which of the 7 NOAA national frequencies is
currently tuned in the weather radio. The weather frequency can be changed while in the Weather
Channel by Pressing SB2 to enter Weather menu then SB1 acts as up button and SB2 acts down
button. Also, PTT acts as menu button to advance to channel menu or weather alert menu.

NOAA Weather Alert

FEATURES

The RM Series radio is capable of monitoring the NOAA frequency for any Alerts issued by the
National Weather Service. When the weather alert feature is enabled the radio will "mute" the daily
weather radio, you can then move the channel position to a standard two way radio frequency and
continue normal communication.

The Weather Alert allows the radio to "listen" for a Warning Alarm Tone (WAT) from the National
Weather Service. If a WAT is detected the weather radio will "un-mute" and the message being
broadcasted will be heard on the RM radio.
If the RM radio is tuned to a two-way channel (normal operation + weather alert on) when a WAT
is detected, the radio will "un-mute" and the message being broadcasted will be heard. While
monitoring an alert, pressing the PTT or changing channels will exit the weather alert and go back
to normal operation.

Please note that using the Weather Alert feature will impact normal battery life.
