Showing an Animated Radar Loop

You can view precipitation information as an image of the latest update or as

an animated loop of the latest updates.

From the Home screen, select Information > Weather > Precipitation >

MeNU > NeXRAD Loop > on.

The time stamp in the upper-left corner of the screen indicates the

elapsed time since the service provider generated the weather radar frame

currently displayed on the screen.

Showing Cloud Cover

Cloud cover can be shown or hidden. XM weather data provides the height

of the cloud tops.

Cellular weather displays clouds based on cloud-top temperatures as detected

by infrared satellites. Deeper shades of gray represent colder clouds often

found with cirrus or thunderstorm clouds. Lighter shades or lack of shading

indicate warmer clouds usually associated with stratus or fog.
