“Follow-Me” Scan feature checks a User-assigned Priority Channel regularly as
you scan the other channels. Thus, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 available
channels) are designated for “Scanning,” the user may nonetheless assign Channel
2 as the “User-assigned” Priority Channel via the “Follow-Me” feature.
To activate “Follow-Me” scanning, first select the channel you want to designate
as the “User-Assigned Priority Channel” and press the assigned
PF
key. Then
press the Channel Up/Down key (generally the [
]/[
] button) to recall to the
“Scanning Start” channel which has been programmed by your dealer to activate
the scanner. When the scanner stops on an “Active” channel, the User-assigned
Priority Channel will automatically be checked every few seconds; if activity is
found on the User-assigned Priority Channel, the radio will switch between it and
the Dealer-Assigned Priority Channel, if any.

To set up a “Dual Watch” frequency pair using the “Follow-Me” feature, select a
channel using the Channel Up/Down key (generally the [
]/[
] button). Now
press the assigned
PF
key; pressing the assigned
PF
key locks the current chan-
nel as the User-assigned Priority Channel. Now press the Channel Up/Down
key to select another channel (not the “Scanning Start” channel). Your radio will
now switch back-and-forth between the currently-selected channel and the User-
assigned Priority Channel.
During “Follow-Me” scanning (after you have pressed the key), you can set up the
“Dual Watch” feature by pressing the Channel Up/Down key to another channel.
The radio will then scan back and forth between the original User-assigned Prior-
ity Channel and the newly-selected channel.
The Priority Channel you have assigned (before pressing the key) will be retained
in memory until you change it.
