Tri-Watch
NOTE: If the PTT key is pressed during scanning (when
the display is changing) it will cancel SCAN and stop at
the channel last scanned. If a channel is static (being
received) you must transmit within 5 seconds after the
received broadcast ends before SCAN moves to the
next channel. After transmitting, scanning resumes when
you release the key. Pressing any other keys will cancel
the scan with the exception of the Power, Volume +,
Volume -, Squelch and Hi/low keys.
4. To remove a channel from the scan memory, simply
access it with the UP/DOWN arrow keys and press
the MEM key.
NOTE: Channels entered into memory will be
retained when the unit batteries are removed.
Tri-Watch
Tri-Watch is a method of monitoring the
emergency channel 16 and the Call channel
while monitoring the channel you are using for
communications.
To use Tri-Watch:
1. First determine which channel other than 16 and
the Call channel that you desire to monitor, then
use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to make a choice.
2. Press and hold the 16 key for more than one
second. (Figure 8)
3. Observe the LCD display showing TRI/CALL/16,
and the cycling set of channel numbers indicating
that the TRI-WATCH feature is active.
4. Observe that when a transmission is received by
the third channel, reception will be briefly inter-
rupted to monitor channels 16 and the Call
channel. If reception is on the Call channel it will be
interrupted to monitor channel 16. Channel 16
always has priority in TRI-WATCH.
5. To cancel the TRI-WATCH feature, press the
16 key to monitor only channel 16 or any other
key to return to a selected channel.
