To disable Triple or Dual Watch and revert to scanning only

Both Watches and Weather Channel

If both the Weather Alert and the TripleWatch features are
enabled when you press SCAN/MEM, the radio starts check-
ing the memory channels in ascending order. Then it checks
channel 9 and 16 every 2-seconds and fi nally, it checks the
active weather channel approximately every 7 seconds, look-
ing for the alert tone (1050Hz). The radio then repeats the
cycle. If the radio detects a weather alert tone during the
check cycle, it remains on the weather channel until you dis-
able the weather mode. See the fl ow graphic.
Note:
• During SCAN mode, if the radio detects a signal, it stops
scanning and remains on the detected channel for 2 sec-
onds after the activity ends before resumption of scanning.
• During scanning, you can press SCAN, 16/9/TRI, or WX/
ALERT to exit the scanning mode and return directly to the
marine channel display mode.
• All channels, except CH70, and the weather channels, can
be stored in memory. When you turn off the radio, all mem-
ory stored channels are retained so that upon turning the
radio on again, they are immediately available.
