VX-2200 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL10DUAL WATCH (DW)
The Dual Watch feature is similar to the SCAN feature, except that only two channels
are monitored:
The current operating channel; and
The Priority channel.
To activate Dual Watch:
Press (or press and hold) the assigned programmable key.
The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each time it finds a
channel on which someone is speaking.
To stop Dual Watch:
Press (or press and hold) the assigned programmable key.
Operation will revert to the “Dual Watch Start” channel.
FOLLOW-ME SCAN
“Follow-Me” Scan feature checks a User-assigned Priority Channel regularly as you
scan the other channels. Thus, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 available chan-
nels) are designated for “Scanning,” the user may nonetheless assign Channel 2 as
the “User-assigned” Priority Channel via the “Follow-Me” feature.
To activate “Follow-Me” scanning, first select the channel you want to designate as
the “User-Assigned Priority Channel” and press (or press and hold)the assigned
programmable key. Then press (or press and hold) the Channel Up/Down key (gen-
erally the []/[] button) to recall to the “Scanning Start” channel which has been
programmed by your dealer to activate the scanner. When the scanner stops on an
“Active” channel, the User-assigned Priority Channel will automatically be checked
every few seconds; if activity is found on the User-assigned Priority Channel, the
radio will switch between it and the Dealer-Assigned Priority Channel, if any.
FOLLOW-ME DUAL WATCH (DW)
To set up a “Dual Watch” frequency pair using the “Follow-Me” feature, select a
channel using the Channel Up/Down key (generally the []/[] button). Now press
(or press and hold) the assigned programmable key; pressing the assigned program-
mable key locks the current channel as the User-assigned Priority Channel. Now
press (or press and hold) the Channel Up/Down key to select another channel (not
the “Scanning Start” channel). Your radio will now switch back-and-forth between
the currently-selected channel and the User-assigned Priority Channel.
