PRIORITY DUAL WATCH OPERATION

Similar to Dual Watch operation (described on previous page), Priority Dual Watch is an enhanced version which includes the following additional features:

¦The receiving time interval (ratio) between the cur- rent channel and the Priority channel may be custom- ized via the Menu Item “PRI Time.” See page 54 for details.

¦Irrespective of which channel is currently being re- ceived, when the PTT button is pushed transmission will always occur on the Priority channel.

Before initiating Priority Dual Watch, Menu Item “DW/ PRI” must be set to the “PRI” mode (instead of “DW”). See page 54 for details.

rTo start Priority Dual Watch, press Ò . The “DW” icon will appear on the display.

rWhile receiving on the “current” (non-Priority) chan- nel, pressing the PTT button once causes the radio to switch to the Priority channel and cancels Dual Watch. Press the PTT button again to transmit on the Priority channel.

rWhen a signal is received on the Priority channel, re- ception immediately shifts to the Priority channel; the “DW” icon will blink, and the display will become illuminated unless the Scan Lamp Feature is turned off.

rWhile receiving on the Priority channel, if you mo- mentarily press the PTT switch, Priority Dual Watch will be disabled. You may then transmit on the Prior- ity Channel.

rTo stop Priority Dual Watch, press Ò .
