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 51 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 50 for details.
To start Priority Dual
Watch, press the key
followed by the key.
The “DW” icon will ap-
pear on the display.
While 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.
When 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.
While 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.
To stop Priority Dual Watch, press the key fol-
lowed by the key.
