3) You may get a periodic test tone from the NOAA that will
cause an unexpected alarm on your Sonido Radio. 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 siren will stay on for one
minute and the light will flash for one hour or until you turn it
off by pressing any button.
SETTING TUNING STEPS
Tuning steps in some countries are different from others. If you
purchased this radio in the United States (which uses 10kHz-tun-
ing steps) and intend to use it in Europe (which has 9kHz-tuning
steps) you will need to adjust the radio so that it can match the
locations tuning steps.
1) When the radio is switched off, press and hold the
Step/Band button for three seconds. This will show
the current FM tuning step. Continue pressing the
Step/Band button for five more seconds. A beep will
sound and the display will show FM and flash the current
tuning steps.

4) When activated, the WEATHER ALERT consumes power
even when the radio is turned off.
5) Be aware that if you are not using AC power the WEATHER
ALERT will completely drain your batteries. If your batteries
are dead and AC power is off, the
Weather Alert Alarm will
not work.
2) 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.
Notes on the Weather Alert
1) 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 radio's speaker.
