forecasters will send out a special tone to activate weather radios in the listening area; the HH50/51 radio is automatically activated and sounds a loud tone for 15 seconds then switches to the NWS broadcast. Emergency weather bulletins include alerts for: tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, ice/snow storms, and other severe weather. Other emergencies might include: Amber alerts, hazardous explosions, wildfires, chemical spills, tsunamis, and other civil emergencies.

the slide switch to the “ON” position. Then, using the up and down buttons, adjust to the desired listening level.
