Dual Watch Mode
This feature allows you to monitor two channels at the same time. While in
dual watch mode, the unit will continuously monitor both the primary and
dual watch channel. Received signals will be played for 5 seconds, then
the unit will resume scanning the two channels. Pressing the PTT button
during a received transmission will set the unit to transmit on the same
channel. Pressing the PTT button when no signal is received will set the
unit to transmit on the primary channel.
To set the Dual Watch Mode:
- From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press the MODE button 5 times; dc
appears on the display with the flashing DW icon. If the dual watch
mode is off, the oF icon will also appear flashing.
- To enable the dual watch mode, press the Up or Down button; the dual
watch channel number will flash and start to increment up or down as
the Up or Down button is pressed.
- Press the PTT button momentarily to confirm selection of the dual
watch channel. The display will now alternate between the pri-
mary channel and the dual watch channel just selected.
Roger Beep Tone
The Roger Beep is a tone which is automatically transmitted whenever the
PTT button is released. This tone alerts the receiving party that the trans-
mission has been terminated intentionally.
To enable and disable the Roger Beep tone:

appears on the display with the flashing Roger Beep icon ( ) and On
or oF.
