Similar to Dual Watch operation (described on previous
page), Priority Dual Watch is an enhanced version which
includes the following additional features:
The receiving time interval (ratio) between the cur-
rent channel and the Priority channel may be cus-
tomized via Menu Item 09 “
PRTM
.” See page 49
for details.
Irrespective of which channel is currently being re-
ceived, when the
PTT
button is pushed transmission
will always occur on the Priority channel.
Before initiating Priority Dual Watch, Menu Item 10
“
DWMD
” must be set to the “
PRI
: Priority” mode (in-
stead of “
DW
: Dual Watch”). See page 50 for details.

Watch, press the [

icon will appear on the
display.
While receiving on the “cur-
rent” (non-Priority) channel,
pressing the
PTT
button once
causes the radio to switch to
the Priority channel and cancels Dual Watch. Press
the
PTT
button again to transmit on the Priority
channel.
When a signal is received on the Priority channel,
reception immediately shifts to the Priority channel,
the “

come illuminated unless the Scan Lamp Feature is
turned off.
While receiving on the priority channel, if you
momentarily press the
PTT
button, Priority Dual
Watch will be disabled. You may then transmit on
the Priority Channel.
