EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock R WARNING! [. . . ] 29) w Select the desired operating channel. to start Dualwatch or Triwatch. · " " blinks during Dualwatch; " " blinks during Tri-watch. · A beep tone sounds when a signal is received on Channel 16. r To cancel Dualwatch/Tri-watch, push [CH/WX·DUAL] again. [Example]: Operating Tri-watch on INT Channel 25 Tri-watch starts. Dualwatch Tri-watch Signal is received on call channel. · If a signal is received on Channel 16, Dualwatch/Tri-watch pauses on Channel 16 until the signal disappears. · If a signal is received on the call channel during Tri-watch, Tri-watch becomes Dualwatch until the signal disappears. · To transmit on the selected channel during Dualwatch/Triwatch, push and hold [PTT]. Signal is received on Channel 16 takes priority. Tri-watch resumes after the signal disappears. 11 5 SCAN OPERATION I Scan types Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a wide frequency range. The transceiver has Priority scan and Normal scan. When the Weather alert function is in use, the selected weather channel is checked while scanning. 29) PRIORITY SCAN CH 01 CH 02 Set the tag channels (scanned channel) before scanning. Clear the tag channels which inconveniently stop scanning, such as those for digital communication use. Choose Priority or Normal scan in Set mode. 29) NORMAL SCAN CH 01 CH 02 CH 06 CH 16 CH 03 CH 06 CH 03 CH 05 CH 04 CH 05 CH 04 Priority scan searches through all tag channels in sequence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is detected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other than Channel 16, scan becomes Dualwatch until the signal disappears. Normal scan, like Priority scan, searches through all tag channels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan, Channel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a tag channel. 12 SCAN OPERATION 5 I Setting tag channels For more efficient scanning, add desired channels as tag channels or clear the tag for unwanted channels. Channels are not tagged will be skipped during scanning. Tag channels can be assigned to each channel group (USA, INT, CAN) independently. q Select the desired channel group (USA, INT, CAN) by pushing both [Y] and [Z]. w Select the desired channel to set as a tag channel. to be set the displayed channel as a tag channel. ·" " appears in the display. I Starting a scan Set scan type (Priority or Normal) and scan resume timer in advance, using Set mode. 29) q Set tag channels as described at left. w Make sure the squelch is closed to start a scan. e Select the channel group (USA, CAN, INT) by pushing both [Y] and [Z] on the transceiver, if desired.
