Choosing Triple Watch Or Dual Watch - Uniden UM455 Owner's Manual

Using Your Radio
Some channels limit the power of transmission to 1 Watt so that there is less
interference between boaters attempting to use the channel at the same time. If you
switch to one of these channels, the radio changes back to 1 Watt automatically. See
the channel list on page 57 for a list of power-restricted channels.

Choosing Triple Watch or Dual Watch

In Triple Watch mode, the radio briefly checks channels 16 and 67 every two
seconds. In Dual Watch mode, the radio checks channel 16 only. Generally, Triple
Watch is used in areas where channel 67 is used as a hailing frequency while Dual
Watch is used in areas where channel 16 is used for distress and hailing. Your radio
comes set to use Triple Watch; if you want to use Dual Watch instead, you will have
to select it in the setup:
Press and hold -
1. Press and hold
2. Select Setup and then Dual/Tri Watch.
3. Choose Dual Watch and press
and returns to the Setup menu.
4. To reactive Triple Watch, repeat the procedure described above, but choose
Triple Watch in step 3.
