Setting the Weather Channel
Your radio receives eight frequencies. See the Weather
Frequency Chart on page 43. for a complete list.
•
After turning on the weather broadcast, press [ or ] to
select the strongest Channel.
As with two-way radio reception, Weather Channel Reception depends on how close
you are to a transmitter and whether you are indoors or outdoors. Also, because
Weather Channels are transmitted without Codes, they may contain static or noise.
Note: The Talkabout T7200 two-way radios are designed to be two-way radios
primarily, with the added utility of features such as Weather Alert. The radio
uses the same circuitry for both two-way radio and weather alert receptions.
Therefore, you can miss a weather alert while you are engaged in two-way
communication (either transmitting or receiving). To ensure that you do not
miss a weather alert, leave the radio in the Weather Mode.
Note: In some isolated areas, it may not be possible to receive
Weather Channel Transmissions.
To Set Weather Alert:
•
Switch to weather mode,
• press \ once, and
• press [ or ] to select Y (On).
• If you activate Weather Alert and return to two-way mode,
o will display.
