3-13 Operation with Minimum Function Handset
3.5.14 Monitor Mode
The RAY215E is equipped with 2 types of monitor operations: Dual Watch
and Tri-Watch.
Note: Monitor modes are disabled when the ATIS operation is active.
Dual Watch Mode
Dual Watch monitors Channel 16 and either the selected Working Channel
or Private Channel. To initiate Dual Watch, first select the working or
private channel to be monitored, then press the MON/1/25 key once. The
selected Working/Private channel and channel 16 are monitored for traffic.
If a signal is received on the Working, Private, or Priority channel, the
radio monitors that channel as long as a signal is present. Dual Watch
resumes if the signal is lost for 7 seconds.
To exit the Dual Watch mode, press MON/1/25 to return to the last Working
or Private channel, or press the 16 key to switch to the Priority Channel.
Tri-Watch Mode
When the RAY215E is in International mode, Tri-Watch monitors the
selected working channel, Channel 16, and the last used Multi-Call
channel. To start Tri-Watch, initiate the Dual Watch mode, and then press
the MULTI key. The MULTI indicator illuminates on the LCD to indicate
the Multi-Call channel is also being monitored.
If the RAY215E has received an upgrade to use the US channel set, and
US mode is selected, Tri-Watch monitors the selected working channel,
Channel 16, and the last used Weather Channel for the Weather Alert
Tone. To initiate Tri-Watch, initiate the Dual Watch mode, and then press
the MULTI key. The WX indicator illuminates on the LCD to indicate the
Weather Channel is also being monitored. Operation is the same as Dual
Watch except that if a Weather Alert Tone is received, the radio
simultaneously sounds an alarm tone, WX flashes, and the NOAA Weather
Alert is monitored. NOAA weather broadcasts can only be heard in the
US and Canada.
To exit the Tri-Watch mode, press MON/1/25 to return to the Working
Channel, or press MULTI to revert to Dual Watch mode, or press or the
16 key to switch to the Priority Channel.
