[. . . ] As an example of priority scanning, let us say that marine channels 06, 07, and 08 are memorized in the transceiver's scan memory. Priority scanning will proceed in the following sequence: [CH06] à [Priority Channel] à [CH07] à [Priority Channel] à [CH08] à [Priority Channel] à [CH06] à [Priority Channel] . . . . . . Even when the transceiver stops and listens to the signal of a programmed channel, the transceiver will shift to a "dual watch" mode between this channel and the priority channel. Therefore, your priority watching of the designated channel is not compromised when the scanner has paused on an active channel. Hold down the [SCAN] key to change the priority scanning to normal scanning, and then press the [SCAN] key to stop the scan and return to normal operation. HX471S Page 29 7. 4 DUAL WATCH The Dual Watch feature allows the radio to watch for a transmission on the priority channel and another selected Marine, FRS or MURS channel until a signal is received. The priority channel is determined per the discussion in section 7. 3 "PRIORITY SCAN" as described previously. To start the Dual Watch feature, select a channel to be dual watched with the priority channel and press the [DW] key. The radio checks the priority channel for voice traffic every one second. A small "DW" icon is shown on the center bottom of the display during scanning. To cancel the Dual Watch feature, press the [DW] key. 7. 5 EMERGENCY CHANNEL 16 1. To select the emergency channel, press the [16/9] key from any channel. If you cannot contact anyone on channel 16, switch to another channel. See section 10. 1 "EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16 USE)" for additional emergency operating practices. To recall the previously-used channel when you are finished on channel 16, press the [16/9] key again. 7. 6 CHANNEL 9 Channel 9 is used as a hailing channel for initial, non-emergency contacts with other vessels. Hold down the [16/9] key for 1 second to select channel 9. You should change to a working channel, after contact is established (so as to keep the hailing channel clear for other users). 7. 7 OPERATING ON USA OR CANADIAN 13, OR USA CHANNEL 67 USA and Canadian Channel 13, USA 67 are used at docks, bridges and for maneuvering in port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restricted waters. In emergencies and when approaching blind river bends, high power is allowed. Holding down the [H/L] key will change the power output from 1 Watt (L) to 5 Watts (H); if pressed and held again 2. 5 Watts (M) will be selected. When the PTT switch is released, the transceiver will revert to low power. Press and hold in the [H/ L] key again if you need High power on a subsequent transmission. Page 30 HX471S 7. 8 OPERATING ON USA CHANNEL 67 USA Channel 67 is used for navigational bridge-to-bridge traffic between ships. This channel has been allocated for temporary high power transmission if communication is not able to be established on one watt.
