Alert Type Setting
When the All Hazards/Weather Radio is ON, this setting determines how
WX500 will communicate screened NWR Alert messages. For all three
selections, the 5 most recent Alerts, along with Severity and Time of the
Message Expiration, will be shown on the display.
DISPLAY : Upon receiving a screened NWR Alert, only the Alert and
Alert Severity displays will be affected. No Alert tones will
sound and the broadcast will not be heard unless you
press the weather/snooze key.
VOICE : Upon receiving a screened NWR Alert, an alert tone
will sound for about 8 seconds. After the alert tone, the
WX500 will automatically turn ON the emergency/weather
broadcast (speaker). You will hear the broadcast until the
NWR End-of-Message code is received or until you turn the
broadcast OFF. The WX500 automatically selects the
VOICE Alert Type the first time you turn it ON.
TONE : Upon receiving a screened NWR Alert, an alert tone will
sound for up to 15 minutes. A press of any key will stop
the Alert tone. The broadcast will not be heard unless you
press the weather/snooze key.
