4-5-7. Priority Alert Function
The priority alert function allows you to monitor memory
channel 1 for activity even when you are tuned to a differ­
ent channel number. When the Priority Alert function has
been activated the microprocessor will switch the tran­
sceiver to the frequency stored in memory channel 1 once
every 5 seconds. The transceiver will determine if a signal
is present. If no signal is present the transceiver will return
to the original frequency. If a signal is present beep will
sound from the speaker to signal the channel is busy. This
whole process takes just a fraction of a second, so you will
not see the display frequency change. The only thing you
will notice is a momentary loss of the signal on the current­
ly displayed frequency. To activate the priority alert function:
1. Ensure the frequency you
wish to monitor has been
entered into memory chan­
nel 1.
