Q: My scanner is not receiving weather channels.
How do I set it so I can receive weather channels?

A: The scanner might be set to weather alert mode.
If this happens, it cannot receive weather channels
until it receives a weather alert. To hear a weather
channel at any time, make sure weather alert is
turned off. See “WX Alert” on Page 38 for more
information.

Q: Error appears on the display. What does it mean?

A: If you were trying to enter a frequency, you might
have made a programming error. Re-enter the
frequency correctly, including the decimal point.
See “Storing Known Frequencies Into Channels” on
Page 25 for more information.
