Similar to Dual Watch operation (described on pre-
vious page), Priority Dual Watch is an enhanced ver-
sion which includes the following additional features:
l
The receiving time interval (ratio) between the
current channel and the Priority channel may be
customized via the Menu Item “
PRTM
.” See page
43 for details.
l
Irrespective of which channel is currently being
received, when the
PTT
button is pushed trans-
mission will
always
occur on the Priority chan-
nel.
Before initiating Priority Dual Watch, Menu Item 10
“
DWMD
” must be set to the “Priority” mode (in-
stead of “Dual Watch”). See page 43 for details.
r
To start Priority Dual Watch, press [
F
]
à
[
SCAN
(
DW
)]. The “
DW
” icon will appear on the dis-
play.
r
While receiving on the “current” (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.
r
When a signal is received on the Priority chan-
nel, reception immediately shifts to the Priority
channel, the “
DW
” icon will blink, and the dis-
play will become illuminated unless the Scan
Lamp Feature is turned off.
While receiving on the priority channel, if you
momentarily press the
PTT
switch, Priority Dual
Watch will be disabled. You may then transmit
on the Priority Channel.
