Dual watch
The Dual Watch feature is similar to the Scan feature, except that only two channels are
monitored: The current operating channel; and the “Priority” channel.
・ To activate Dual Watch:
Press (or press and hold) the assigned Soft key.
The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each time it finds a channel on
which someone is speaking.
・ To stop Dual Watch:
Press (or press and hold) the assigned Soft key.
Operation will revert to the channel to which the [CH] knob is set.
Talk Around
Press (or press and hold) the assigned Soft key to activate the Talk Around feature when
you are operating on duplex channel systems (separate receive and transmit frequencies,
utilizing a “repeater” station). The Talk Around feature allows you to bypass the repeater
station and talk directly to a station that in nearby. This feature has no effect when you are
operating on “Simplex” channels, where the receive and transmit frequencies are already
the same.
Note that your dealer may have made provision for “Talk Around” channels by programming
“repeater” and “Talk Around” frequencies on two adjacent channels. If so, the key may be
used for one of the other Pre-Programmed Functions.
Follow-Me Scan
"Follow-Me" Scan feature checks a User-assigned Priority Channel regularly as you scan
the other channels. Thus, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 available channels) are
designated for "Scanning," the user may nonetheless assign Channel as the "User-
assigned" Priority Channel via the "Follow-Me" feature.
Press the assigned Soft key to activate "Follow-Me" scanning, then turn the CH selector
knob to the channel which you want to designate as the "User-Assigned Priority Channel"
When the scanner stops on an "Active" channel, the User-assigned Priority Channel will
automatically be checked every few seconds.

Channel Down
Press (or press and hold) the assigned Soft key to decrease operating channel.
Call 1-3/Reset
When the 2-Tone or 5-Tone selective calling system is enabled, press (or press and hold)
the assigned Soft key to silence the receiver and reset for another call, when a
communication is finished.
