New Alert Types
Your Weatheradio is designed to recognize all com-
mon weather alert types currently used by the NWS.
However, the NWS occasionally creates and broad-
casts
new
alert types (for which the Weatheradio’s
memory does not contain a specific, corresponding
description). If your Weatheradio receives a signal for
a new alert type, it is preset (if the alert function is
turned on) to display
UNKNOWN
, the alert description
(
EMERGENC
,
STATEMNT
,
WARNING
, or
WATCH
),
and
TUNE
TV
, then sound a siren alert.
