The Dual Watch feature is similar to the SCAN fea-
ture, except that only two channels are monitored:
The current operating channel; and
The Priority channel.
To activate Dual Watch:
Press the assigned programmable key, or set the
toggle switch to the assigned position.
The scanner will search the two channels; it will
pause each time it finds a channel on which some-
one is speaking.
To stop Dual Watch:
Press the assigned programmable key, or set the
toggle switch to a different position.
Operation will revert to the "Dual Watch Start"
channel.

Press the assigned programmable key, or set the toggle
switch to the assigned position to activate the Talk
Around feature when you are operating on duplex
channel systems (separate receive and transmit fre-
quencies, utilizing a "repeater" station). The Talk
Around feature allows you to bypass the repeater sta-
tion and talk directly to a station that is nearby. This
feature has no effect when you are operating on "sim-
plex" channels, where the receive and transmit fre-
quencies are already the same.
In the 16-Key and 4-Key versions, the " " icon will
be indicated on the display when the "TA" function
is activated.
Note that your dealer may have mode provision for
"Talk Around" channels by programming "repeater"
and "Talk Around" frequencies on two adjacent chan-
nels. If so, the key may be used for one of the other
Pre-Programmed Functions.
