Mounting the Bracket
Two options are provided for mounting the bracket (self-tapping screws or machine screws with nuts) to
ensure a mounting option ideal for your mounting location. Avoid obstructing airflow to the rear cooling
fins on the radio.
Note: Mounting holes should be drilled to 7/32”. Before drilling the mounting holes, make sure
the area behind the panel where the holes are desired is clear of wires and fuel, vacuum and or
brake lines.

Weather Band Operation
14. Accessing the Weather Band
Press WB (14) to directly access the weather band mode from any other function mode.
What is the NOAA Weather Radio?
This is a nationwide system that broadcasts local weather emergency information 24 hours a day. The U.S.
network has more than 530 stations covering the 50 states as well as the adjacent costal waters, Puerto
Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the U.S. Pacific Territories. Each local area has its own transmitting station
and there are a total of seven broadcasting frequencies used: 162.400MHz (CH1), 162.425MHz (CH2),
Since the broadcasts are local weather and information, the transmission power is usually very low (much
less than AM or FM stations) so you will usually receive only one station unless you are on the edge of two
or more broadcast signals. The most you will receive will be two or three, and that is rare.
Is it possible I won't receive any stations?
Depending on location, it’s possible you will receive a very weak signal or none at all. Also, similar to AM and
FM signals, weather band signals are subject to surrounding conditions, weather, obstructions of the signal
by hills or mountains, etc. If no NOAA signals are found/received, the “NO SIG” icon will flash in the display
and the tuner will scan all seven NOAA frequencies every 30 seconds.
How will I know I am tuned to the weather band?
When you select the weather band, the “WB” icon will appear on the display panel, along with the current
channel indication. Press TUN+ or TUN- to tune to each of the seven channels until you find the weather
band station broadcasting in your area.
NOAA Weather Alert
The Weather Alert function adds an additional level of user safety by automatically switching from the
current function mode to weather band mode for a minimum of 60 seconds if a NOAA warning tone (1050
Hz) is received/detected. If no additional warning tone is received for 60 seconds, the unit will switch back to
the last known function mode.
The Weather Alert function can be turned “on” or “off” by the Audio/Menu key, as described on page three.
When “ON” (default), the Weather Alert icon appears in the display and the weather tuner remains active,
even when the radio is turned off (as long as the power is still applied to the radio). If a weather alert is
issued, the radio will turn on and play the announcement. for 60 seconds, then turn back off and revert to
weather alert monitor mode.
If the Weather Alert function is set to “OFF”, no Weather Alert icon appears in the display. The radio will not
respond to any weather alerts when it is off and will not automatically switch to the weather band if an alert is
issued.
Note: If the unit is programmed for European operation, the WB function will be disabled.
