Dual-Watch
Dual-Watch gives you one button access to scan the two channels of
most importance to you. Channel 16 will always be one of the scanned
channels. You can select the other of them.
NOTE
The radio must be squelched for dual-watch to function.
See page 29 for squelch procedure.
To select the second channel for scanning
and enter Dual-Watch mode:
1. In Standby mode, use the Channel Up or Channel
Down button to change to the channel you want to
scan along with Channel 16.
2. From Standby mode, press and release the
Dual-Watch/Scan button.
The Dual-Watch icon will appear on the LCD and the
radio will scan between Channel 16 and the channel
you selected. A signal on either of the channels will
stop the scan for 10 seconds to allow you to
listen to the traffic on the channel.
To exit Dual-Watch mode:
1. Press and release the Dual-Watch/Scan button.
The icon will disappear from the LCD and the unit
will return to Standby mode status.
