[. . . ] Now "User" appears on the display. Move now to the second channel you desire to monitor, press the function key corresponding to T/W. Now you will see all three channels sliding on the display with indication T/W. "Adv" appears too, that, similar to SCAN function, has the aim to exclude momentarily the monitoring of the current channel. The Triple Watch function can be stopped by pressing the "C" button, the PTT- or the 16-buttons or by sending out a DSC call. 2. 3. 4. Once created your list, you can activate the scanning by pressing the function key corresponding to the word "Scan" (Fig. If you want to eliminate (useful if there are distortions) or to exclude · momentarily (useful for undesired conversations) a channel during scanning, operate as follows: · DEFINITIVE EXCLUSION OF A CHANNEL: If your REGATTA 2 is operating on a busy channel, press the "Inh" (Fig. Fig. D For both modes, the operation can be resumed with the following diagram: Fig. F · TEMPORARY REMOVAL OF A CHANNEL: Press the function key corresponding to the written "Adv" to advance the scanning and to temporarily remove this channel from the scanning list. At the end of the complete scanning cycle, the channel previously jumped will be monitored again. Page 16 inserted into scan cycle, select the channel press and hold the "M/S" function key until the display shows "M/S Del". Once all channels are stored, the scanning can begin (SCAN MEMORY): Press the function key corresponding to the written "M/S". The channels will be monitored and the display will show the script "M/S" ­ which indicates the scanning of the stored channels, - "Adv" and "Del" in relation to the 2 function keys. Every time a signal/disturb is found on a channel, the scanning stopps for a few seconds in order to give the user a chance to respond to the call or to cancel the channel, if necessary. Note: Scanning does not function correctly if the squelch is not regulated as described in par. 4. 3. 5. 4a Similar to scanning of marine channels, Dual Watch and Triple watch stop when a signal is found and remain blocked for a few seconds after the signal disappears, in order to give the user a chance to respond to a call, if necessary. Dual/Triple Watch cannot function correctly if the squelch is not correctly regulated, as described in par . 4. 3 Reception/Transmission during SCAN MEMORY Reception: If REGATTA 2 finds a signal the scanning interrupts. The display indicates "RX" instead of "M/S" and the communication will be received through the loudspeaker. Transmission: It is possible to transmit at any time, also when the scanning is active. In that case REGATTA 2 will always transmit on channel 16; if instead the transmission is done after a signal has been found, the device will transmit on the previously busy channel. After the transmission the scanning comes interrupted. · · Memory channels (MEM mode) 5. 4 1. Memory scanning (SCAN MEMORY) Similar to the scan function, memory scan will cycle sequentially through the channels, but only those, which have been pre-selected (at least 3). Fig. H 5. 4b To delete/To jump a pre-selected channel in memory If during the scanning a signal is received on an undesired or disturbed channel, it is possible to temporarily cancel the channel or to skip the channel momentarily. In order to execute these functions, the radio must be syntonized on a channel (firm scanning). Through the two function keys corresponding to "Adv" and "Del" you will have the possibility to jump the busy channel respective to cancel it from the preselected list of channels. [. . . ] The display will show: Never open the device (transceiver or microphone) as this may compromise the water resistant seal. If the device becomes dirty or dusty, do not use alcohol, solvents or abrasives to clean it. Use only a soft cloth, slightly dampened with water. For more persistent cases, use a mild detergent.
