Weather Alert
Weather Aler t allows your ATLANTIS to
function as a severe weather radio. If
NOAA issues a severe weather warn-
ing while the Weather Aler t is turned
on, the ATLANTIS sounds an aler t
tone. You will then hear the
emergency weather broadcast.
1. To use Weather Alert,
select the weather
Channel in your area
2. Press and hold
WX/ALERT for 2 seconds.
A confirmation tone sounds.
3. When the unit receives
a warning signal, it
beeps for 5 seconds.
WX, ALERT, and the
channel number blink to receive the
emergency weather broadcast.
4. To turn off Weather Alert, press and
hold WX/ALERT for 2 seconds. A
confirmation tone sounds.
☞ When Weather Aler t is activated, the
highest priority is given to this func-
tion. If the unit is in scan, Triple
Watch, or any other marine
channels, it checks for the weather
aler t signals every 7 seconds and
switches to the Weather Channel
automatically.
*NOTE: Be sure the volume is set to a
high level when using the
Weather Aler t mode. This will
insure that you will hear the
Aler t tone even in a noisy
environment.
