Delete a favorite channel

Press 3CH to display the first favorite channel. Repeat the procedure, if necessary, until the favorite channel that you want to delete is displayed.

With the favorite channel displayed, hold down 3CH for about two seconds until the radio asks: DELETE CHxx?

If you press >ENT to confirm, the channel is deleted from your favorite channel selection.

Select a weather channel

This option is only available with the USA or Canadian channel banks.

Press WX to tune to the most recently used weather channel. WX is displayed on the LCD screen.

Press ^CH/SELv to tune to a different weather channel, if desired.

While scanning in the Wx Alert ON mode, if a weather alert is transmitted on 1050Hz by a weather station, the radio picks it up automatically and sounds the loud weather

alert warning tone.

Press any key while the loud alarm is sounding to cancel the warning tone and listen to the weather alert voice message.

When you are finished using the weather channel, press WX again to return to previous working channel.

Dual/Tri watch scan

The SCAN function is not available in some European countries.

You can use the radio setup menu to select a dual watch mode (all radio models) or a triple watch mode (USA/Canada only). (See Reference Section 1 - Select dual or triple watch mode.)

Dual watch mode will automatically scan between the working channel and CH16 (the priority channel).

Triple watch mode, with the USA or CAN channel banks selected and the weather alert ON, automatically scans the working channel, both the priority channels (CH09 and CH16) and the weather channel.

When you are on a working channel, just press SCAN to start scanning. DW (dual watch) or TW (triple watch) is shown on the LCD screen.

If a signal is received, scanning stops at that channel and BUSY appears on the LCD screen. Scanning starts again four seconds after the BUSY annunciator disappears.

To stop at the current channel and cancel the SCAN mode, press SCAN again or <ESC.

To scan all 3 favorite channels, press 3CH then immediately press and hold SCAN.
