The "Follow-Me" Scan feature checks a User-as-
signed Priority Channel regularly as you scan 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 2 as the
"User-assigned" Priority Channel via the "Follow-
Me" feature.
To activate "Follow-Me" scanning, first select the
channel you want to designate as the "User-Assigned
Priority Channel" and press the assigned program-
mable key. Then rotate the CH Selector knob to re-
call to the "Scanning Start" channel which has been
programmed by your dealer to activate the scanner.
When the scanner stops on an "Active" channel, the
User-assigned Priority Channel will automatically be
checked every few seconds; if activity is found on
the User-assigned Priority Channel, the radio will
switch between it and the Dealer-Assigned Priority
Channel, if any.

To set up a "Dual Watch" frequency pair using the
"Follow-Me" feature, select a channel using the CH
Selector knob. Now press the assigned programmable
key; pressing the assigned programmable key locks
the current channel as the User-assigned Priority
Channel. Now rotate the CH Selector knob to select
another channel (not the "Scanning Start" channel).
Your radio will now switch back-and-forth between
the currently-selected channel and the User-assigned
Priority Channel.
During "Follow-Me" scanning (after you have
pressed the key), you can set up the "Dual Watch"
feature by rotating the CH Selector knob to another
channel. The radio will then scan back and forth be-
tween the original User-assigned Priority Channel
and the newly-selected channel.
The Priority Channel you have assigned (before
pressing the key) will be retained in memory until
you change it.
