The last five, non-expired, Alerts

will scroll across the LCD one at

a time.

Each Alert will be displayed with

its appropriate Severity indicator

and with the time until the Alert

message expires.

You can force the WX500 to quickly skip to the previous/next Alert by

using the 5/6 keys. Stop Alert tones by pressing any key.

Alert's expiration time. The expiration of an Alert,

however, does not necessarily mean that the related

emergency is over. This is particularly true for longer

duration Alerts because Alert expiration times are limited

to 6 hours in the NWS protocol.
