Retevis RB17P weather alert

[Guest RoRo]

I can't enable weather alert on this radio.  Manual calls it NOAA watch function in the manual but does not say how to activate it.  I can and have chosen the right channel in my area (CH 2 for me), but for the life of me I can figure how to activae the watch function..
