GETTING

STARTED

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.
