Priority Scan; Emergency Channel - Standard Horizon HX600S User Manual

Scanning will resume when the incoming signal disappears at the end of the
transmission. A small "SCAN" icon is shown on the center bottom of the display during
scanning.
8. To stop the scan, press the [SCAN] key.

7.3 PRIORITY SCAN

The priority scanning feature allows the radio to scan while also keeping watch on a
particularly important "priority channel." The following channels can be set as the priority
channel: 16, 09, and MARINE Preset Channel.
1. To set the priority channel, hold down the [16/9] key and press the [MEM] key. The
channel will change from 16 to 09 to Preset Channels P0 through P9 with each press
of the [MEM] key. When the [16/9] key is released the displayed channel will be set as
the priority channel (the large "P" icon will appear at the right side of the channel
number).
2. For priority scanning, hold down the [SCAN] key during normal scanning. Scanning will
proceed between the memorized channels and the priority channel. The priority
channel will be scanned after each programmed channel. A small "PSCN" is shown on
the center bottom of the display during priority scanning.
3. As an example of priority scanning, let us say that marine channels 06, 07, and 08 are
memorized in the transceiver's scan memory. Priority scanning will proceed in the
following sequence:
[CH06] ---> [Priority Channel] ---> [CH07] ---> [Priority Channel] --->
[CH08] ---> [Priority Channel] ---> [CH06] ---> [Priority Channel]..........
4. Even when the transceiver stops and listens to the signal of a programmed channel,
the transceiver will shift to a "dual watch" mode between this channel and the priority
channel. Therefore, your priority watching of the designated channel is not
compromised when the scanner has paused on an active channel.
5. Hold down the [SCAN] key to change the priority scanning to normal scanning, and
then press the [SCAN] key to stop the scan and return to normal operation.

7.5 EMERGENCY CHANNEL 16

1. To select the emergency channel, press the [16/9] key from any channel.
2. If you cannot contact anyone on channel 16, switch to another channel.
3. See section 10.1 "EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16 USE)" for additional emergency
operating practices.
4. To recall the previously-used channel when you are finished on channel 16, press the
