PERATION
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 custom-
ized via Menu Item 09 “
PRTM
.” See page 47 for de-
tails.
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 (instead
of “
DW
: Dual Watch”). See page 48 for details.
To start Priority Dual
Watch, press the [
F
] key
momentarily, then press
the [
SCAN
(
DW
)]. The
“
” icon will appear
on the display.
While receiving on the
“current” (non-Priority) chan-
nel, pressing the
PTT
button
once causes the radio to switch
to the Priority channel and can-
cels Dual Watch. Press the
PTT
button again to trans-
mit on the Priority channel.
When a signal is received on the Priority channel, re-
ception immediately shifts to the Priority channel, the
“
” icon will blink, and the display will become
illuminated unless the Scan Lamp Feature is turned
off.
While receiving on the priority channel, if you mo-
mentarily press the
PTT
button, Priority Dual Watch
will be disabled. You may then transmit on the Prior-
ity Channel.
To stop Priority Dual Watch, press [
F
]
[
SCAN
(
DW
)].
