7.7 Triple Watch or Tri-Watch mode

Triple or Tri-Watch allows the radio to scan between the selected

working channel, the User channel and the watch channel.

To enter Tri-Watch, select the required working channel, press

HIFT and then press and hold 3 (DW) for 2 seconds. If Triple

Watch is selected while the handset is off cradle, the display will

show “PLACE BACK ON CRADLE”. Tri-Watch will automati-

cally commence, if the handset is replaced within 10 seconds.

The display will now show “T/W” – with the large digits on

the display indicating the working channel, and the User and

watch channels shown below in small digits (Fig 7.6).

If the radio detects a signal on the User or Watch channels, it

will lock onto this and the large digits will change to show the

relevant channel.

NOTE Tri-Watch cannot be selected if the User channel is set to 16.

NOTE All other stations will also show the Tri-Watch display.

NOTE Normal VHF functions will not be available when in Tri-Watch

mode.

To exit Tri-Watch, press 16 or O

N/C, or lift the handset from the

cradle.
