Weather (T6220 Only)
You can’t change the weather, but you can be prepared for it
whenever you take your Motorola Talkabout T6220 radio with
you. That’s because it tunes into National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio broadcasts.
You can listen to a weather channel or you can even set your
radio to alert you to emergency weather broadcasts.
And because NOAA Weather Radio now broadcasts warning
information for all types of hazards, routine broadcasts are
interrupted during emergencies for natural and technological warnings, watches,
and other critical information.
NOAA has transmitters located throughout the United States and Canada that
broadcast National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts, and other hazard
information 24 hours a day.
Whenever you listen to a weather channel, you cannot use your radio for two-way
communications. However, a weather alert will notify you while the radio is in two-
way mode (if you have enabled weather alert) and the radio is on but not
transmitting or receiving.
Turning On Weather Channel Reception
To turn on weather channel reception, press and hold the R o button. To turn off
weather channel reception and return to two-way mode, press and hold the R o
button again.
