To set up a "Dual Watch" frequency pair using the "Follow-Me" feature, select a
channel using the Channel Up/Down key. Now press the assigned programmable
key; pressing the assigned programmable key locks the current channel as the User-
assigned Priority Channel. Now press the Channel Up/Down key 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 pressing the Channel Up/Down key to another channel. The
radio will then scan back and forth between 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.

operation when in difficult terrain.

Press the assigned programmable key to activate the Talk Around feature when you
are operating on duplex channel systems (separate receive and transmit frequencies,
utilizing a "repeater" station). The Talk Around feature allows you to bypass the
repeater station and talk directly to a station that is nearby. This feature has no effect
when you are operating on "simplex" channels, where the receive and transmit fre-
quencies are already the same.
Note that your dealer may have mode provision for "Talk Around" channels by pro-
gramming "repeater" and "Talk Around" frequencies on two adjacent channels. If so,
the key may be used for one of the other Pre-Programmed Functions.
