With 1 flashing, press the right menu button until T (tune) appears to the right of the frequency; then press the Up (6) or Down (11) button to select the desired station for preset number 1 in 100kHz steps. 15 5. 10. NOTE: You can use the scan tune (S ) function to more quickly establish the preset station frequencies. Press the left menu button until 1 begins to flash again; then press the Up (6) button to increment the preset to number 2 which also flashes. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to establish the second preset station frequency. Repeat step 6 to increment the preset number to 3 and repeat steps 4 and 5. Continue with presets 4 through 9 as indicated. Press the right menu button, scrolling through S, T and MEM; then press again to access OFF or WAY. If OFF appears flashing, and you wish to turn off FM radio reception whenever other modes are being used, press the Monitor (M) button to confirm. If WAY is flashing, and you wish to continue FM radio reception while other modes are being used, press the Monitor (M) button to confirm. NOTE: When WAY is selected, FM broadcast can be heard in all modes except for Weather band. During GMRS transmission and reception, the FM program is interrupted and will resume when transmission or reception ends. WEATHER MODE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA) RECEIVER MODE NOAA provides transmitters which are located throughout the United States; these transmitters broadcast National Weather Service warnings, watches forecasts and hazard information 24 hours a day. The NOAA receiver on the GMRS-1500XTM provides you with weather information for all types of hazards. This function allows you to listen to one of 10 weather channels, and to configure your radio in the NOAA alert mode to inform you of emergency weather broadcasts in your listening area. To access the NOAA functions, proceed as follows: NOAA WEATHER MENU To access the NOAA channel menu: 1. From the GMRS TWO WAY mode (CH and CODE displayed), press the Func tion (F) button twice; WEATHER is momentarily displayed, followed by the WEA and channel indication (01-10). Press the right menu button; the channel number flashes. Press the Up button (6) or the Down button (11) to select the strongest of the 10 channels. Press the Monitor (M) button to confirm channel selection. 16 NOAA ALERT MODE Whenever you are listening to the weather channel broadcast, the 2-way radio function of the GMRS-1500XTM is disabled; however, when the NOAA alert function is active, the GMRS-1500XTM operates in the normal radio modes. After setting the NOAA alert option in the NOAA mode, when the radio receives the NOAA alert signal, it switches to the selected weather channel and normal radio operation is inhibited. From the GMRS TWO WAY mode (CH and CODE displayed), press the Function (F) button twice; WEATHER is momentarily displayed, followed by the WEA and selected channel indication (01-10). Press the right menu button; the channel number flashes; press the right menu button again.
