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.
