Weather/All Hazards Alert
In Weather/All Hazards Alert mode, your
ESD-9230 WX will automatically sound a
tone alert when a local NOAA broadcast
station activates a Weather/All Hazards
Alert. The tone alert will be followed by a
warning message related to weather,
chemical, and other civilian emergencies.
While in Weather/All Hazards Alert mode,
your unit will continue to detect radar
signals and provide alerts.
Note: Weather/All Hazards Alert will
operate only when a signal from a weather
station can be received. You must first use
Weather mode to find a weather station
before activating Weather/All Hazards Alert.
Note: If Weather/All Hazards Alert mode
automatically turns off because the radio
station signal is lost, you can use City/Wx
button mode to find a different station, then
activate Weather/All Hazards Alert again.
