DUALWATCH/TRI-WATCH SIMULATION

Call channel

DualwatchTri-watch

•If a signal is received on channel 16, dualwatch/tri-watch pauses on channel 16 until the signal disappears.

•If a signal is received on the call channel during tri-watch, tri- watch becomes dualwatch until the signal disappears.

•To transmit on the selected channel during dualwatch/tri-watch, push and hold [PTT].

qSelect the desired operating channel.

wSelect dualwatch or tri-watch in set mode. (p. 31)

ePush [CH/WX•DW•U/I/C] for 1 sec. to start dualwatch or tri-watch.

•“DUAL” appears during dualwatch; “TRI” appears during tri-watch.

Beep tone sounds when a signal is received on channel 16.

r To cancel dualwatch/tri-watch, push [CH/WX•DW•U/I/C] again.
