Dual Watch Mode - Audiovox GMRS-2000 Owner's Manual

NOTE: To communicate with other FRS or GMRS units, they must be
switched to the same channel and CTCSS subcode. To commu-
nicate with other FRS units that do not have subcodes, switch
your unit to the same channel with the subcode set to 00.
The CTCSS subcodes do not prevent others from hearing your
transmission. This will only allow you to ignore all traffic on a
given channel not using the same subcode.
Transmit Power Selection Mode
This feature permits selection of the transmitting power level at high or
low. When set to low, the transmit range of the unit will be less; however,
battery life will be increased. Each of the 15 GMRS channels may be set
independently. Tune to the desired GMRS channel before setting the power
level.
To access the transmitter power selection function from the GMRS mode:
- Press the Mode Button twice; a HI or Lo indication appears flashing
on the display.
- Press the Up or Down button to toggle between the High and Low se-
lections.
- Momentarily press the PTT Button to confirm selection, or simply wait
approximately 10 seconds for the selection to affirm by itself.
The display will indicate the current channel setting in standby mode.

Dual Watch Mode

This feature allows you to monitor two special channels. While in dual
watch mode, the unit will continuously monitor both the primary and dual
watch channel. Received signals will be played for 5 seconds then the
other channel will be scanned. Pressing the PTT button during a received
transmission will set the unit to transmit on the same channel. Pressing the
PTT button when no signal is received will set the unit to transmit on the
primary channel. The weather alert function will be disabled in the dual
watch mode. The dual watch mode will automatically terminate when the
unit transmits.
