Radio Operation
This is WEATHER ALERT mode with flashing light
only (no Alarm). If NOAA issues a weather related
emergency, the radio will automatically alert you with
a small flashing light near the top of the radio. The Alert light
continues to flash until any button is pushed.
2) To access the second mode, (WEATHER ALERT with NOAA Audio).
Press and hold the WEATHER ALERT Button again for two seconds
until you hear a long beep. The symbol shown at
right will be displayed in this mode. In this mode,
if the NOAA alert tone is issued, the red light
flashes and the radio switches to Weather Audio automatically.
3) To access the third mode, (WEATHER ALERT with flashing light and
siren). Press and hold the WEATHER ALERT
Button again for two seconds until you hear a
double beep. The symbol shown at right, will
appear and the red light near the top radio comes on continuously.
In this mode, if the NOAA alert tone is issued, the red light on the
top of the radio flashes and a siren turns on for up to 1 minute. In
this mode, when the siren is active, pressing any button on the radio
instantly turns the radio to the Weather Audio and cancels the siren.
SPECIAL NOTE
: If you have the headphones plugged in and a weather
alert is issued, the audio to the headphones will be cut-off and the siren
will sound through the radioʼs speaker.
Press the WEATHER ALERT Button again for two seconds:
The alarm goes off and is inactive. The ALERT symbol will
disappear from the display.
In any of the active WEATHER ALERT modes, the weather receiver
stays on and listens for an emergency tone issued from NOAA in case
of emergency.
You may get a periodic test tone from the NOAA that will cause an
unexpected alarm on your CCRadio2. This tone is only a test and will
happen periodically, usually every Wednesday at noon, or whenever the
agency decides to test their emergency alert system. Simply pressing
any button on the receiver will shut the alert tone off. After an alert has
been issued, the WEATHER ALERT light and/or siren will stay on for
one minute or until you turn it off by pressing any button.
