NOTE: If the PTT key is pressed during scanning (when the display is changing) it will cancel SCAN and stop at the channel last scanned. If a channel is static (being received) you must transmit within 5 seconds after the received broadcast ends before SCAN moves to the next channel. After transmitting, scanning resumes when you release the key. Pressing any other keys will cancel the scan with the exception of the Power, Volume +, Volume -, Squelch and Hi/Low keys.

4.To remove a channel from the scan memory, simply access it with the UP/DOWN arrow keys and press the MEM key.

NOTE: Channels entered into memory will be retained when the unit batteries are removed.

Tri-Watch

Tri-Watch is a method of monitoring the emergency channel 16 and the alternate hailing channel 9 while monitoring the channel you are using for communications.

To use Tri-Watch:

1.First determine which channel other than 16 and 9 that you desire to monitor, then use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to make a choice.

2.Press and hold the TRI-16/9key for more than one second. (Figure 8)

3.Observe the LCD display showing TRI-16-9, and the cycling set of channel numbers indicating that the TRI-WATCH feature is active.

4.Observe that when a transmission is received by the third channel, reception will be briefly inter- rupted to monitor channels 16 and 9. If reception is on channel 9 it will be interrupted to monitor channel 16. Channel 16 always has priority in TRI-

WATCH.

5.To cancel the TRI-WATCH feature, press the TRI- 16/9 key to monitor only channel 16 or any other key to return to a selected channel.
