[. . . ] To exit from the weather channel mode, press and hold the [CLR(WX)] key for one second. The transceiver will revert to the channel you were using prior to switching to the weather channel mode. 6. 8. 1 NOAA WEATHER ALERT In the event of extreme weather disturbances such as storms and hurricanes, NOAA sends a "weather alert" consisting of a 1050 Hz tone, followed by weather reports on the weather channels. When a "weather alert" is received on a weather channel, the transceiver emits a beep tone and the TX/BUSY indicator blinks white. Press the [CLR(WX)] key to stop the beep tone and listen to the weather reports. NOTE By default the HX751 can alarm after a weather alert has been received when a weather channel is selected and on the last selected Weather channel during scanning, Dual Watch, Preset Scan and Preset Priority Scanning. For additional settings, refer to Menu Mode Item "13 ALt (WX ALERT)" on page 38. 6. 8. 2 NOAA WEATHER ALERT TESTING In the event of a major storm or other appreciable weather condition requiring vessels at sea (or other bodies of water) to be notified, the NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) broadcasts a 1050 Hz tone that some VHF radios, including your HX751, can detect for "Weather Alert" purposes (refer to section "6. 8. 1 NOAA WEATHER ALERT" for a discussion of how to use this feature). The 1050 Hz tone, when detected, will produce a loud beep in the speaker of the HX751, to signal that a Weather Alert Broadcast is being received. In order to test this system, NOAA broadcasts the 1050 Hz tone every Wednesday sometime between 11 AM and 1 PM local time. You may use this opportunity to test your HX751 periodically to confirm that the Weather Alert feature is working, or for training crew members on how to configure the HX751 to receive the NOAA Weather Alerts. HX751 Page 25 6. 9 PRESET CHANNELS (0 ~ 9): INSTANT ACCESS Ten user assigned channels can be programmed for instant access. Pressing the [PRESET] key activates the user assigned channel bank. If the [PRESET] key is pressed and no channels have been assigned, an alert beep will be emitted from the speaker. Press the [ ] or [ ] key (repeatedly, if necessary) until the desired channel number is displayed. With the desired channel number displayed, Press and hold the [PRESET] key. The indication of "PRESET" and the Preset Channel number "0" will appear at the right of the channel number on the display for 1 second. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to program the desired channels into Preset Channels "1" ~ "9". To delete a Preset Channel, press the [PRESET] key until the Preset Channel number to be deleted is displayed, then press and hold the [PRESET] key. NOTE Weather channels can be stored as preset for quick selection. To save a Weather channel in Preset memory, press and hold the [CLR(WX)] key to enter Weather channel mode then perform the steps in 6. 9. 1 above. 6. 9. 2 OPERATION Pressing the [PRESET] key will toggle between Preset Channels "0" through "9".
