2.2 Selecting Alternative Channel Sets
In countries where it is permitted, holding VOL

Where the display will normally show INT
(International channel set) on the bottom line, this
will show USA for USA channels, CAN for
Canadian channels etc.
• Channel sets available will depend on which coun-
try the radio is programmed for use in.
This func-
tion will only be available if permitted in the
country of purchase
. Please enquire with your
national licensing authority for details of permitted
channel sets.
• The radio will revert to International channels if it
is switched off then on again.

firm operation. To disable key beep, press and hold
SQ while turning the set on. Repeat this procedure
to turn the key beep on again.
• Second level functions (such as All Channel Scan,
Triwatch etc) will still be indicated by a beep, even
if the key beep is disabled.
