pause each time it finds a channel on which some-
one is speaking.
To stop Dual Watch:

channel.

Press the assigned programmable key to set the
radio’s transmitter to the “Low Power” mode, thus
extending battery life. Press the key again to return
to “Normal” transmit power when in difficult terrain.
In the 16-key and 4-key versions, the “
” icon will
be indicated on the display when the radio’s trans-
mitter is set to “Low Power” mode.

Press the assigned programmable key to activate the
Talk Around feature when you are operating on du-
plex channel systems (separate receive and transmit
frequencies, utilizing a “repeater” station). The Talk
Around feature allows you to bypass the repeater sta-
tion and talk directly to a station that is nearby. This
feature has no effect when you are operating on “sim-
plex” channels, where the receive and transmit fre-
quencies are already the same.
In the 16-key and 4-key versions, the “
” icon will
be indicated on the display when the “TA” function
is activated.
Note that your dealer may have mode provision for
“Talk Around” channels by programming “repeater”
and “Talk Around” frequencies on two adjacent chan-
nels. If so, the key may be used for one of the other
Pre-Programmed Functions.
