VX-4100 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL 9
ADVANCED OPERATION
DUAL 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 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 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 the assigned programmable key.
Then press the Channel Up/Down key 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 Chan-
nel, the radio will switch between it and the Dealer-Assigned Priority Channel, if
any.
